The Seljuk Turks did not directly defeat Constantinople; rather, they played a significant role in weakening the Byzantine Empire, which ultimately made the city more vulnerable to later conquests. The Seljuks won decisive battles against the Byzantines, such as the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, which resulted in significant territorial losses for the empire and encouraged further Turkish migration into Anatolia. This weakening of Byzantine power and territorial integrity set the stage for the later siege and fall of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
