The Byzantine Empire collapsed in 1453 AD. This was largely to do with the fact that the Empire's economy had been utterly ruined by the period of civil war that followed the Venetian conquest of Constantinople in the 1200s. Though the Empire did recover somewhat, they simply could not find the money to support an effective military, leading to the loss of just about all of their territory by 1453 in the face of Turkish expansion, something that they were powerless to prevent. The end came when the Turks laid siege to Constantinople o April 6th 1453 and captured it on May 29th. By now, most of the Byzantine Army, like that of its Western Roman counterpart in its final years almost 1000 years earlier, was comprised largely of mercenaries. The fall of Constantinople was not inevitable however, and it could have continued the Roman tradition for much longer. Parts of the empire survived, such as the Despotate of Morea in southern Greece and the Empire of Trebizond in north-eastern Turkey, but these were all taken by the Turks by 1461, thus ending the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Empire as a whole more than two thousand years after the foundation of the Roman Kingdom.
