Between 610 and 1071, the Byzantine Empire faced major security threats from Persia, which was later succeeded by the Islamic Caliphate. The rise of Islam and the subsequent expansion of the Arab Empire led to several wars between the Byzantines and the Muslims, which continued for several centuries. Although there were other threats from other groups such as the Turks and the Slavs, the Islamic Caliphate was the most significant security threat during this period. The Western Roman Empire had already fallen by this time and did not pose a significant risk.
