Having weathered the Ottoman storm, the Byzantines slowly began to win back ground. They eventually succeeded in retaking the Aegean seaboard, restoring the Empire to the small but stable condition it was in during the days of Michael VIII Paleologus in the mid-13th century. Finally having some breathing room, the Emperors were able to take stock of their situation and make much needed reforms.Actions

Action B, D of 90909 - Economic Reforms of the Byzantine Revival for Byzantine Empire
Description
As Byzantium expanded its territory, it was once again obligated to turn its attention to the sea. Though Byzantine merchants had once dominated Mediterranean trade from their island bases throughout the Sea, Venetians, Genoans, and other Italians had long since wrested control of trade from them. Should Byzantium attempt to reclaim its rightful naval and commercial position at the risk of offending the rich Italian city-states?Actions

Description
Hagia Sophia, the Church of Holy Wisdom, was built by the Emperor Justinian I in the mid-6th century and stood as the largest and most impressive church built until it was used as the inspiration for St. Peter's Basilica during the Renaissance. However, the last millenium had not been good to it and the Emperors were more often than not too poor to maintain it properly. However, the newly prosperous nobles, private citizens, and Orthodox Church have pledged donations. Now the time has come to make use of the cultural revival of the 14th century and the Byzantine resurgence of the 15th century and restore the Hagia Sophia.Actions

Description
To counter the expense of defending a threatened empire in the 7th century, Emperor Constans II replaced the traditional Roman provinces with a new system of themes, whose leaders (strategos) held both civil and military power. Soldiers were enrolled in each theme and given a grant of land from which to maintain themselves in addition to a stipend. The grants were large enough for infantry to support themselves and their families, while cavalry and sailors could afford to hire tenant farmers to work the land. Besides their annual spring training and occasional offensives, they were always on call for defensive duties. Unlike mercenaries, the system presumed they would fight very fiercely to protect their land. It worked very well, increasing the size and effectiveness of the military, raising the prosperity of the countryside by creating a class of small freeholding farmers, and reducing government expenses.Actions

The system of small freeholding farmers was always open to exploitation by the rich and even a typical officer's position in the army could bring nice profits from taxing tenants. Consequently families began amassing large holdings of land in Anatolia and Thrace, which they then used to buy out soldiers with small plots. These families put their own interests ahead of that of the Empire or the peasantry, but had a strong following and were an effective military force.Actions

Description
A key factor in the Byzantine revival was changing the course of the economy, which had suffered greatly in the previous 400 years. One problem was that magnates had established serfs on large, semi-autonomous estates. A different problem was that Venice, Genoa, and Pisa had wrested the lucrative Aegean and Black Sea trade out of the hands of Byzantine merchants. Clearly, many changes were needed, and those changes were going to be very painful.Actions

The strength of the themata system was that they provided a large, cheap, effective military. It was however also a problem, as more than one Emperor found out at the wrong end of a sword.

Description
Rattled by the danger posed by rebellious themata, Constantine V created the Tagmata, or Regiments. Each tagma was a small, elite armed force that drew income from land in a theme like ordinary soldiers, but was permanently on duty in the Emperor's service. They were heavily geared towards offensive operations, making them a strong core for foreign expeditions. At the same time the themata were also broken into smaller units to reduce the size of potential revolts.Actions

The next step in Byzantium's naval expansion was to rebuild its great military and commercial fleet.

The system of small freeholding farmers was always open to exploitation by the rich and even a typical officer's position in the army could bring nice profits from taxing tenants. Consequently families began amassing large holdings of land in Anatolia and Thrace, which they then used to buy out soldiers with small plots. These families put their own interests ahead of that of the Empire or the peasantry, but had a strong following and were an effective military force.Actions

Description
As time went on, pressure grew for the Court in Constantinople to take decisive action in the province, which remained largely Turkish. The Court was however inclined to do nothing at all even though that would hurt the long term growth of the region. The next most popular option, inspired by the Iberian Kingdoms was to simply expel the Turks at great cost to the province. While the bureaucrats liked such a simple solution, the military thought it would be better to resettle the area with true Byzantines drawn from the excess population of Thrace and Constantinople over the course of many decades. Finally, a minority of intellectuals wondered why the Turks couldn't simply be accepted as valued subjects of the Emperor, but to do that would require reconciling the Turks in each province in Anatolia.Actions

When an Emperor died his eldest son usually was the successor but the case of Konstantin XIII was different. He was a dimwit that would probably prove to be a disaster on the throne. His only real competitor was his elder sister Zoe, who was considered to be among the sharpest minds at court. However, for all her qualities she was a woman and an Empress on the throne would not be seen favourably by the old guard. Konstantin on the other hand would probably be in the hands of powerful noble families. Fortunately, Zoe had the support of her husband general Alexandros Makrienos.Actions

Description
Centuries of warfare had led the Empire, once renowned for it's art and learning, to become a second class society in those regards. Zoe was always a patron of the arts and wished for Byzantium to become the light of the world it had once been. However, if that road was to be followed, it would take a monumental effort and the choice would be an unpopular one among the people.Actions

Description
The system of small freeholding farmers was always open to exploitation by the rich and even a typical officer's position in the army could bring nice profits from taxing tenants. Consequently families began amassing large holdings of land in Anatolia and Thrace, which they then used to buy out soldiers with small plots. These families put their own interests ahead of that of the Empire or the peasantry, but had a strong following and were an effective military force.Actions
