The Fall of Constantinople (1453): Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, fell to the Ottoman Turks on May 29, 1453. This event marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, which had lasted for over a thousand years since the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The fall of Constantinople had far-reaching consequences, including the spread of Renaissance ideas from fleeing scholars and the opening of new trade routes, which eventually led to the Age of Exploration.
