Question 14 • NY-Global History and Geography I

Which describes a difference between the attacks of Arab Muslim armies and the attacks of Ottoman Turk armies on the Byzantine Empire?

Answer

Muslim armies began attacking the Empire in 700, while Turk armies captured Constantinople in 1453.

Muslim armies conquered Egypt and Syria in 700, while Turk armies captured the Orthodox Church in 1453.

Muslim armies seized Constantinople in 1453, while Turk armies seized other Byzantine lands starting in 700.

Muslim armies conquered Anatolia in 700, while Turk armies captured Egypt and Syria in 1453.

Explanation

Arab Muslim armies began attacking Byzantine territory in the 600s and continued around 700, taking lands such as Syria and Egypt. Much later, Ottoman Turk armies captured Constantinople in 1453, bringing the Byzantine Empire to an end. The other choices incorrectly assign these conquests to the wrong armies or describe capturing the Orthodox Church.
