Rene Houston · Answer 1

The Ottoman Turks

Explanation:

The Byzantine-Arab Wars were one of the main reasons for the collapse of the Byzantine Empire. Rome and other key regions were lost to the Arabs, the war lasted about 300 years and killed many, which also crippled the Byzantine Empire economy. The Byzantine-Arab Wars led to the Fall of Constantinople in May 1453.

Reyna Garcia · Answer 2

Justinian's plague is another name for the Bubonic Plague or Black Death.

Belisaious and invading forces, I assume, would weaken the empire.

The Macedonians are a group of people that lived near this region, actually in the far east of the Byzantine empire.

The Crusades were "arguments" more like miniature wars used to convince others of their beliefs.

Ottoman Turks. Another conquering group that brought destruction, if i remember correctly.
