However Venice enjoyed a long period of peace throughout this time and slowly built a complex system of canals, bridges, bulwarks, fortifications, and stone buildings. Thus Venice began to rely on the sea for defense and offence and slowly began to extend its force south into the Adriatic. With the crusades Venice found new trading opportunities in the Levant. This prosperity brought envy and the Byzantine Empire attacked the assets of Venetian merchants within its Empire. This brought along the Venetian led Fourth Crusade which destroyed the Byzantine Empire.
