Answer:

In any case, the Byzantine Empire managed to survive after the decline of the Western Roman Empire due to a number of advantageous circumstances. ... Combined with a lack of mass Germanic migration into their territories, the Eastern Roman Empire was thus in a much better position to survive the collapse of the Empire.
