History

Which circumstance undermined Greek Fire effectiveness during sieges?

A)Wind shifted towards own ships
B)Its ingredients became too costly
C)The Emperor dissolved fire guilds
D)Treachery leaked its composition

💡 Explanation

Unfavorable wind shifts caused Greek Fire to backdraft onto Byzantine vessels rather than the enemy's due to its projection method, because ships lacked modern aiming and propellant control; therefore wind was a critical constraint rather than fixed supply or sabotage.
