Without sufficient historical data, I can only guess Justinian. While it was temporary, he effectively restored the Roman Empire to its former glory.

What technology had dramatically affected the Texan-Mexicans and American-Mexican wars? And thereby also affecting many of the defining trends in the life for many people in the American West.

I would accept other answers such as percussion caps being incorporated and enclosed into the bullets themselves, or the repeating rifle (known as repeaters), or even the concept of a successful mechanism that could reliably rotate the cylinder without physical touching: the mechanically indexing cylinder but the revolver is the best answer.

The battle that marked the beginning of the end for the Byzantine Empire. It's probably not a Siege/Battle of Constantinople is it?

Could be. Enrico Dandolo's taking of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade splintered the Byzantine Empire, replacing it in Constantinople with the administratively incompetent Latin Empire. Constantinople never recovered, needless to say.

The battle that marked the beginning of the end for the Byzantine Empire. The Battle of Manzikert, I think. Ik it was a reason the West began Crusading.

The battle that marked the beginning of the end for the Byzantine Empire. Manzikert? (I didn't look all the way down I think.)
