Скачать или смотреть The Fall of Constantinople: The Day Empires Changed Forever

The walls of Constantinople stood for over 1,000 years… until one day in 1453, everything changed.

In just 53 days, Sultan Mehmed II and his Ottoman army of nearly 100,000 men unleashed massive cannons, naval blockades, and relentless assaults that shattered the once “unbreachable” walls. The Byzantine defenders only 7,000 strong fought desperately, with Emperor Constantine XI himself dying in battle.

When the city fell, it didn’t just end the Byzantine Empire, it shifted the balance of power, cut Europe off from Asian trade, and set the stage for the Age of Exploration.

The Fall of Constantinople wasn’t just a siege. It was the end of an era.
