One of the most important conflicts was the Arab siege of Constantinople in 717-718, where Leo successfully defended the city and halted the Arab expansion into Byzantine territory. Another notable event was the Bulgarian uprising in 718-719, which Leo managed to suppress, securing the empire's borders.
