HELP ME PLEASE The following primary source is a description by a Carmelite missionary who visited the Persia court in 1604. He records his observations of Shah Abbas the Great.
How does Abbas differentiate his leadership style from that of Christian rulers ?

the conditions that made the byzantine empire vulnerable to attacks by the muslin turks were the sack of constantinople by western crusaders, the conquests of the sultanate of rum, presence of rival kingdoms and finally the set up of fiefdoms at the empire which were owned by the ghazis (turkish warriors).

although the crusades failed to capture jerusalem, they had several major impacts on western europe. they increased the authority of the king: sometimes nobles died in battle without leaving an heir in which case the king got their land. kings passed taxes to pay for the crusades.
