The fall of Constantinople in 1453 was important in many ways. One of the most significant was the subsequent emigration of Byzantine scholars and intellectuals (along with some of their treasured texts) to the West: their influence had a direct impact on the Renaissance and Reformation and, thus, on the subsequent course of Western History as a whole.

The Ottomans used large cannons, particularly the massive "Basilica" cannon, to breach the walls of Constantinople during the 1453 siege. These cannons, designed by the Hungarian engineer Orban, were capable of firing massive stone projectiles that caused significant damage to the city's fortifications. In addition to artillery, the Ottomans employed various siege tactics, including the use of ladders and tunnels, to overcome the city's defenses. Ultimately, the combination of heavy artillery and strategic assaults led to the fall of Constantinople.

Before the Ottomans conquered the city in the 15th century, Istanbul was known as Constantinople. It was named after the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, who refounded the city in 330 AD as the new capital of the Roman Empire. Constantinople was a significant cultural and political center, known for its strategic location and wealth. The city continued to hold great importance until its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453.
