Map of the Siege
The Fall of Constantinople was a major turning point in history and its effect can still be felt today. The Fall affected trades, influenced the Renaissance, and gave the Ottoman Empire a strong political hold in Europe.
The Fall of Constantinople was an event when the Ottoman Turks led by Sultan Mehmed II sieged and eventually took over the city of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Many historians mark this as the end of the Roman Empire. From April 6th to May 29th of 1453, the Ottoman Army constantly bombarded the walls of Constantinople until finally entering the city on May 29th. On entering the city, the Sultan and his army slaughtered many and named the city Istanbul and made it the capital of the Ottoman Empire. This project explores the Impact of this event.
