The Fall of Constantinople refers to the capture of the Byzantine Empire's capital by the Ottoman Empire on Tuesday, May 29, 1453. The event marked the end of the political independence of the millennium-old Byzantine Empire, which was by then already fragmented into several Greek monarchies. Most importantly, the fall of Constantinople accelerated the scholarly exodus of Byzantine Greeks which caused the influx of Classical Greek Studies into the European Renaissance. In addition, it played a crucial role in Ottoman political stability and its subsequent expansion in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans. The date of the event is one of the frequently proposed events marking the end of the Middle Ages as a historical period. Fatih Sultan Mehmed Han: (Ottoman Turkish: محمد ثانى Meḥmed-i sānī, Turkish: II. Mehmet), (also known as el-Fatih (الفاتح), "the Conqueror", in Ottoman Turkish, or, in modern Turkish, Fatih Sultan Mehmet) (March 30, 1432 -- May 3, 1481) was Sultan of the Ottoman Empire for a short time from 1444 to 1446, and later from 1451 to 1481. At the age of 21, he conquered Constantinople(Istanbul), bringing an end to the medieval Byzantine Empire. From this point onward, he claimed the title of Caesar in addition to his other titles.

Great glory to Jan Sobiesky and his force
Flauius Says:
Aug 3, 2008 - Johannes III Sobieski rex Poloniae, he was a real christian, european, also roman (catholic) commander, who wan the Russian and Tatars troops. He made alliance with the Holy Roman Emperor and joined the Holy League initiated by Pope Innocent XI to preserve Christendom against the invading Turks under Kara Mustafa. The Pope and other dignitaries hailed Sobieski as the "Savior of Vienna and Western European civilization." No more Turks in the Europe!No more Muslims on the Christian land!

Aug 10, 2008 - Islambul has always been ISLAMIC and will forever be an Islamic powerhouse. What is 'Constantinopl' ? Never heard of it, never existed. Spain is Muslim, and will be controlled again one day soon. Rome is impending Muslim city. Poland will disseminate Islamic theology also. Christianity is dead, the whole world knows it.
sorbosa Says:
Aug 10, 2008 - THe last emperor was a dog, he deserved it. Greek culture still lives. Istanbul was Muslim before time. Christian barbarians terrorised themselves, and the whole world. Ottomans were your saviors from Catholic tyranny, and the thin of the hair saved Western Europe from total conquest.
sorbosa Says:
Aug 10, 2008 - Your life will waste away dreaming of 'konstandickpolis', it was Istanbul even before time. Greece is lucky to be existing today, should have forced you all to convert.

Aug 10, 2008 - The Crescent will rise over Athens one day again soon, as it will rise over Rome, and Madrid.

Aug 11, 2008 - Facking bastards mongols...your emperor's mother was Christian. Constantinople is the real name.But Istanbul is also greek word that you use.You can't find a Turk name uncivilised Mongols?hahaah We will return and we will take back our homeland.You country won only coz you used Christians as Janissaries and coz Constantinople was already fallen by Venetians. The only you did was to kill us when we had already fallen.You are like hyennas.All the planet hate you.Even,Arab muslims hate you.hahahaha
kyroz2 Says:
Aug 11, 2008 - you are german! you are part of the western civilization! How could you say it!
kyroz2 Says:
Aug 11, 2008 - Brother all Europe respect you greeks,! you protected us for centuries now is time for revenge! we are with you! And we dont forget you anymore!
sorbosa Says:
Aug 16, 2008 - That term 'western civilisation' is too abstract. individual people make up their own minds, and not their university professors or parents.

sorbosa Says:
Aug 16, 2008 - The original name has always been Islambul. How will you do it? You and your army of 5000 fatties? The Janissaries were loyal Bosniak and Greek Muslim soldiers, nothing to do with you. You dont know nothing about the history, Venetians came to help grerks control Istanbul, and that period of history has gone like a dream. It has forever been the city of Istanbul, on Turkish authority. How come an 'uncivilised' nation conquered all of Greece and didnt kill you all?
SarisaSoldier Says:
Aug 16, 2008 - you couldn't kill us all.don't think you were great.you just destroyed a city that was almost gone. And Venetians had burnt Constantinople with the rest of the Crusaders.You just killed when we were almost gone. And remember that.if you are so strong then why your country lost all its balkan lands?And now you can't even beat Iraq.you are losers so shut up muslim barbarian. Istanbul is also greek word.Your "muslim bros" hate you.You are nothing more than barbarians and uncivilised nomads.

Aug 29, 2008 - It's only been called Istanbul since 1922. Sorry, but 100,000 Ottomans versus 7000 Romans isn't much of an accomplishment. And didn't kill all the Greeks eh? Perhaps all the Greeks and Armenians in Constantinople took a trip to the moon? They were known for their good engineering. As for Venetian support, have you heard of anything called the 4th Crusade? Maybe 1204?

Jun 21, 2008 - you forget the confilcting berbers (shiites) and Arabs (sunnis) had always lost and gained control amoungst one another during that period.
