Hey! May 29, 1453 was the fall of Constantinople - one of the most significant events in history. The Ottoman forces under Sultan Mehmed II finally breached the walls after a 53-day siege, ending the Byzantine Empire. The last Byzantine Emperor, Constantine XI, died in battle that day. The city became the new Ottoman capital and was renamed Istanbul. This marked the end of the Roman Empire's last remnant and a major shift in power in the Mediterranean region.
