The Byzantine Empire lost a lot of its area after 1081due to the expansion of Islam. Also their lands were flooded by the Turkish settlers.
Hope this helps :)
Hello,
**Question-**after 1081 ,what was the byzantine being weakened by?
Answer- The Byzantine Empire held the capital Constantinople which was the center of trade at hat time. So everyone wanted it including the Ottamans. Due to the fast spreading islam the turkish army the Ottamans were able to conqure the capital and this caused the Byzantine Empire to collapse.
The Byzantine Empire began to weaken after 1081 due to territorial losses to the Turks, military defeats such as the Battle of Manzikert, internal political instability, and economic decline. The Fourth Crusade in 1204 and the subsequent rise of the Ottoman Empire were pivotal in the decline, ultimately leading to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. These factors combined to severely diminish the power and influence of the Byzantine Empire.
