The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) deviated significantly from its original goal of recapturing Jerusalem and instead resulted in the conquest of Constantinople in 1204. The crusaders sacked the city, leading to significant cultural and economic devastation, and established the Latin Empire of Constantinople. This event deepened the schism between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches and weakened Byzantine power, contributing to its eventual fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The Fourth Crusade is often seen as a turning point that altered the course of Christian and Islamic relations in the region.
