!!!Oströmisches Reich

Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire, Byzantium), emerged from the 
Roman Empire on the basis of Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) tetrarchy 
when the Roman Empire was divided in 395 and continued until 1453. 
Events that affected Austria were the destruction of the kingdom of 
the  Ostrogoths 535-553 and Byzantium's victory over the  Avars in 
622, the family contacts that the Babenbergs established during the 
first two crusades, and the fact that the Turks, who remained within 
the borders of the Byzantine Empire until the fall of Constantinople 
in 1453, only began to intensify their inroads into Central Europe 
after that date.
