What resulted in the final collapse of constantinople and the byzantine empire?
No single incident did that, apart of course from the siege and fall of the city of Constantinople itself. Over the preceding centuries, Byzantium already had lost practically all of its eastern lands, including Turkey proper and also had lost its Balkan properties. Basically, it had become little more than a city-State consisting of the city of Constantinople, parts of Greece and a few scraps of land outside the city. For many decades it had already been a client State of the Ottoman Empire, paying a large yearly tribute to the Sultan just to be left in peace. Large parts of Constantinople had become uninhabited and little to nothing was left of its former richness. But Sultan Suleyman considered the taking of the city essential for the success of any plans to expand his territories and influence westward into the Balkan region, which would require full control of the Bosporus waterway that he then needed to cross and that Constantinople now controlled.
