Explanation: In the later Byzantine Empire, centered in modern-day Greece and Turkiye, a delicate balancing act was required by competent Emperors to keep the Empire running, even at a reduced level of efficacy.
The Western European Crusaders, when they came by, just looted the place to sustain themselves. Why didn’t the Byzantines think of that? smh
