History

Which outcome resulted from the Byzantine Empire's strategic alliances forged through imperial marriages?

A)Reduced incidence of large-scale invasions
B)Increased reliance on mercenary armies
C)Decreased long-distance maritime commerce
D)Greater internal religious fragmentation

💡 Explanation

Marriages with foreign powers created kinship, thereby instituting systems of diplomatic reciprocity because political interests became intertwined, resulting in treaties, and reducing external aggression rather than military build-up or isolationism from maritime trade.
