The Ottoman Empire attacked Constantinople in 1453. Led by Sultan Mehmed II, the Ottomans laid siege to the city, which was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. After a prolonged siege, Constantinople fell on May 29, marking the end of Byzantine rule and a significant expansion of Ottoman territory. This event is often considered a pivotal moment in history, leading to the rise of the Ottoman Empire as a major power in the region.
