Did Andronikos II manage to recover any Anatolian territories during his reign?
Yes, all of them
No, none of them
Yes, some of them
No, but he preserved the ones remaining
Answer
No, Andronikos II's attempts to regain lost Anatolian territories were unsuccessful. Despite initial victories, he faced fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turks, who were gradually expanding their influence in the region. Internal conflicts and economic challenges further weakened the Byzantine Empire, making it difficult to effectively counter the Ottomans. As a result, Andronikos II's reign marked a period of decline and territorial losses for the Byzantine Empire.
