Answer:
I believe that all the things you listed on the question helped Constantinople economically. The most important thing, however, is that Constantinople was located in a trade route confluence, connecting Europe and Asia. But the geographical, and architectural aspects were important too.
Explanation:
You ask for a question related to the economy. Well, as the capital city of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantinople was built in a strategic location. This city that received the name of Emperor Constantine I, Constantinople (or Byzantium, if you wish) it was one of the greatest cultural centers of the Roman Empire. At the time of its heyday, this city represented what left from the Roman Empire, especially because in the western division (which capital city was Rome), a huge fragmentation was in process since the 5th century. The location of this enormous city was between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara, which created a safe place. But most important, Constantinople was located in a confluence of several trade routes. And the geographical conditions promoted safety for the city, because the invaders couldn't attack by any side beside the ocean, and the city was surrounded by huge walls.

According to Boccaccio, what did some people believe to be the cause of the plague?
A. Havoc
B. Sins
C. Climate change
D. Corruption
I think it is B.. Am I right?
Answer: B. Sins.
Explanation:
By describing the plague as a possible punishment sent by God, Boccaccio depicted an extended belief about the Black Death pandemic that infested Europe between 1346 and 1353. Having said that should be noted that Boccaccio was not actually religious, and this treatment may have been simply conventional, since he doesn´t insist on that theme, and the characters don´t seem interested in repenting or seeking forgiveness from God for their sins.
In the middle of the 14th century a rebellion broke out among the Chinese farmers, who were forced to erect dams on the Yellow River by the Emperor Huizong, belonging to the Yuan Dynasty of Mongol origin, initiated by Kublai Khan almost a century before.
After the rebellion, a poor farmer and Buddhist monk, Zhu Yuanzhang, rose to the imperial throne by initiating the Ming Dynasty. Its lineage would direct the destinies of the most extensive empire of its time during almost three centuries and would lead to China to its period of greater stability, favoring a great cultural splendor and a social and economic development without precedents in the history of the country.
With the seventeenth century came the decline of the Ming Dynasty. The Little Ice Age brought years of cold and dry weather that, by shortening the periods of cultivation, produced strong shortages.
Thus, the famine returned to China. The taxes went up and the works were paralyzed, which in turn generated floods that, like a wheel, generated more hunger due to shortage of crops.
In contrast to the majority ethnic group in China, the Han, in the region of Manchuria, in the northeast of the country, the predominant ethnic group is Manchu.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century the Manchu tribal leader Nurhaci unified the region, vassal of the Ming Empire and, with a strengthened army and the dominant empire in full decline, declared war on Emperor Wanli.
The war lasted for more than twenty years. The Ming empire, in the midst of the economic and social crisis, had scarce resources for war, and desertions in the army were continuous and numerous.
As had happened three centuries before, social discontent resulted in numerous popular uprisings across the country. But finally the catalyst was a mutiny of the troops, who did not receive supplies.
The mutinous troops, with popular support, had no difficulty in imposing themselves on the loyal, weakened army, mostly for the defense of the northern wall. The rebels marched on Beijing and its leader, a former postal service worker named Li Zicheng, proclaimed himself emperor.
When the gates of the Forbidden City opened thanks to a betrayal and the mob entered, the last Ming emperor, Chongzhen, hanged himself from a tree in the imperial garden.
Despite the death of the emperor and the fall of the dynasty, the Ming power did not disappear from China immediately. Some cities and provinces, still loyal to the old emperor, resisted the Manchu power. However, little by little they were falling in front of the new imperial power and the last suitor Ming was defeated and executed in 1662.
