Years: 1444 - 1455
The forces of Mehmed the Conqueror in 1453 finally take Constantinople after a lengthy siege.
The great city will again be the center of a Mediterranean empire stretching from Vienna to the Caspian Sea and from the Persian Gulf to the Strait of Gibraltar—but now it will be as a Muslim city in the empire of the Ottomans.
The great Greek state is no more; the fall of Constantinople marks the end of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Imperial Greeks attempt to retain control of their vestigial territories, but the Turks quickly assume control of the Greek, Latin and Slavic holdings in Anatolia and the Balkans.
