What countries and areas where considered Byzantine Empire?

Answer 1

Much of the Balkans, Turkey and 'Asia Minor'. That was the "Eastern Roman Empire", later renamed by historians as the Byzantine Empire.

Egypt and parts of Italy, at early times, were included after the "Western" (what we call "the" Roman Empire) empire fell in the 5th Century, together with coastal North Africa and parts of Spain.

Egypt was lost to Persia in the early 600s - along with Israel/Lebanon/Syria. When Islam conquered the Persian Empire, Byzantium was reduced to , basically, Turkey of today and the Balkans and parts of Sicily /southern Italy.

By 1400 the peaceful Muslims had conquered all Turkey and the Balkans except Constantinople and a few small pockets of Greece.

In 1453 the peaceful Muslim missionaries, with their swords and cannons, took Constantinople (later renamed Istanbul) and there remained no Byzantine Empire.

Answer 2

the center of the Byzantine kingdom was Constantinople, which is now Istanbul, Turkey. The kingdom occupied much of the middle east and southeastern Europe. It is also worth noting that the Byzantine Empire was actually the predecessor to the Roman Empire, as the first Byzantine Emperor, Constantine (hence Constantinople) was also a Roman Emperor.

Answer 3

The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman Empire, known also as the Greek Empire. It contains Greece, and areas surounding Greece, which of course used to be greek territory at that time.

Answer 5

Yes, it was centered in Constantinople, today Istanbul in Turkey, but at various times it covered everything from Persia to Hadrian's Wall leading up to Scotland, or at times it was mostly Asia Minor, the Middle East and into half of Italy, and still later all it was consisted of little more than Constantinople itself. It all depends on when you are looking for.
