Byzantine Empire, 1453.

by mapology.graphics

During the siege of Constantinople in 1453, Byzantium desperately tried to defend its capital. Emperor Constantine XI, aware of the weaknesses of his fortifications and the lack of adequate resources, sought help from European Christian states, but received only limited help.
Finally, on May 29, 1453, Byzantium was unable to stop the Ottoman forces. The city was captured and Emperor Constantine XI died in the battle. The fall of Constantinople marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and closed a major chapter in Byzantine history.
