In 1204 AD, the Fourth Crusade culminated in the capture of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Originally intended to reclaim Jerusalem, the crusaders diverted their mission due to political and financial motivations, leading to the siege and eventual sacking of the city. This event marked a significant turning point in Byzantine history, weakening the empire and contributing to its eventual decline. The establishment of the Latin Empire of Constantinople followed, further altering the dynamics of power in the region.
