Ok I will try to remember that. what else could be prevented to maintain Venice? What did Not happen.
Be aware that there was good reason for them to help Constantinople - they had been trading partners in a big way for a long time, so a lot of money was involved.
Post 1204, for Venice to prosper, there cannot be an empire centered around Constantinople.
Ok maybe Venice swoops in on a shattered Byzantium?
Ok I will begin.
1204
The streets of Constantiople were in chaos the Emperor had died... the only one with any claim to the throne was his 15 year old daughter....to make matters worse...the Turks were at the gates. The only hope seemed to lie with the Veitnian fleet that was sighted near the Bosphorus mouth.
This is a start I await your advice.
