By conquering their Capital, Constantinople. Once this fell, the rest fell easily to Mehmed II .

The taking of Constantinople, though, was the actual end of the Byzantine Empire. They lost most of their Anatolian and European territories long before the fall of Constantinople.

They also had modern cavalry formations; modern artillery such as cannons, uniforms and flags to prevent friendly fire; generals who used innovative strategies; and incredible siege weapons.
