Question

In its early years, the Byzantine Empire had interior military technology, but always made up for the inferior technology. The Byzantine Empire did this by

always having an enormous standing army throughout their history
True
False

Answer 1

False. The Byzantine Empire did not rely solely on an enormous standing army to compensate for inferior military technology in its early years. While they did maintain a standing army, they also employed various other strategies to defend their territory and maintain their power, including diplomacy, fortifications, and tactics that made effective use of their available technology and resources. Their ability to adapt and innovate in military matters played a significant role in their survival and longevity.
