The Seljuk Turks took Anatolia after the Battle of Manzikert and it was partially recovered by the Komnenoi. This recovery stagnated after the Komnenoi were deposed. Let's say a new emperor comes along in the 1200's and retakes Anatolia. In this POD the Venetians fail in taking Constantinople and the Byzantines are very angry and rally behind a new leader who deposes the Angeloi. How would the re-integration work? How much of Anatolia was Turkish? When did Anatolia start losing its Greek and Orthodox identity?
