| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire |
 | | This is the first appearance of the two foes who were slowly but surely to bring about the destruction of the empire, and the worst feature of their case was that the Greeks themselves prepared the way for their future destroyers. | | | Again and again was the Byzantine Empire de facto reduced to the limits of the capital city, which Anastasius had transformed into an unrivaled fortress; and often, too, was the victory over its foes gained by troops before whose ferocity its own citizens trembled. | | | All the warring elements of the period — national, local, economic, social, even personal — group themselves around the prevalent theological questions, so that it is practically impossible to say, in any given case, whether the dominant motives of the parties to the quarrel were spiritual or temporal. |

| | This is the epoch of Empires, which is to say of transnational political unities, but formed by affiliated nations. | | | The lone fact of the existence of the Anglo-Saxon and Slavo-Soviet Empires renders illusory the autonomy of the French nation, which includes barely 40 million individuals. | | | In an important but obscure paragraph, Kojeve suggests the Latin Empire will make possible the rapprochement of Christianity and Islam and undermine the position of other “imperial” forces (i.e., British): |

| | While this is certainly true, it is also irrelevant considering that their predecessors, the Umayyads, also ruled North Africa and Spain whereas the Abbasid Caliphate stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to Central Asia. | | | Then comments that the empire was divided among 3 sons (lands were given to his four sons, but the empire remained united) and "lost its greatest" (P. Lawler overlooks that the fact that the Mongols continued to expand well after 1227, the death of Chinggis Khan) and reached its zenith in the 1250s. | | | Lawler does an exceedingly good job on delineating the various Christian sects and heresies, defining them and also their role in the Byzantine Empire. |

| | Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Classical Latin and the Romance languages differ in a number of ways, and some of these differences have been used in attempts to reconstruct Vulgar Latin. | | | Although Latin was once the universal academic language in Europe, in recent years it has been supplanted by the study of many other world languages; it is a requirement in relatively few places, and in some schools is not even offered. | | | It is said that 80% of all scholarly English words are derived from Latin, in a large number of cases by way of French. |

| | Latin Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Latin Empire laid claim to all of the lands controlled by the Byzantine Empire at the time Constantinople was conquered, and did exert control over areas of Greece (the Crusader States: the Kingdom of Thessalonica, the Principality of Achaea, and the Duchy of Athens). | | | James willed his titular claims to Duke Louis I of Anjou, also claimant to the throne of Naples, but Louis and his descendants never used the title. | | | However, much of the territory remained in the hands of rival states led by aristocrats of the former empire, such as the Despotate of Epirus, the Empire of Nicaea, and the Empire of Trebizond. |

| | US Militarizing Latin America - Empire? - Global Policy Forum |
| | Less than 15 years after the end of the Cold War, the United States government is increasingly militarizing its relationship with Latin America and the Caribbean, according to a new report released here this week. | | | The report characterized Hill's identification of "radical populism" as "particularly disturbing" given the history the Latin American militaries have played in repressing leftist and populist groups in the name of "national security," the doctrine that the U.S. promoted in building up the region's armies during the 1960s. | | | And, with considerably more financial and other resources than the State Department or other U.S. agencies, Southcom is increasingly defining the U.S. role in Latin America, according to the report which was co-produced by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), the Latin America Working Group (LAWG), and the Center for International Policy (CIP). |

| | Why Study Latin? |
| | The sole language of the Catholic Church was Latin; all scholarly, historical, or scientific work was written in Latin. | | | As the centuries passed, Latin continued to be the international language of all educated men and women, living a parallel existence with the different national languages, such as Spanish or French, which were growing beside it. | | | Science: the great scientist Isaac Newton would not have considered publishing his Principia Mathematica in anything but Latin, certainly not in English, which was at that time (1687) an obscure and little-known language with about 4.5 million native speakers in the entire world, only a small fraction of whom were literate. |
