The Byzantine Empire Speech

Every civilization had something good, for example the Romans built long roads, and used it for many uses. The Greeks were very advanced at sports, and created the Olympics, which was a major accomplishment. But the Byzantines, copied both civilizations and made them unite. I think this created a strong empire. I believe that the Byzantine empire was the strongest. Imagine both of these things combined together and what they could have done, they put the two best armies together, and basically taking over. This is how they worked. They made special compromises and concentrated on the way they worked together, so that they can make more things possible. The byzantine was the Greek-speaking part of the roman empire. This empire was settled on the capital of Rome back then,called Constantinople.  Because this empire was so powerful, it lasted for about 1,000 years.  This Empire stayed one of the most powerful economic, cultural, and military forces in Europe, all 1,000 years. Although there were some downs as well the byzantines have helped out and worked together to solve everything. For me the Byzantine empire was the strongest because they were a mix of the two best thought out and powerful empires back then.
