Dates that Made History - May 29, 1453, The Fall Of Constantinople
Synopsis
The fall of Constantinople marked the end of the Byzantine Empire – a power descending from none other than ancient Rome. Its symbolism has long since transcended its actual significance.
Even though the Ottoman sultanate was already ruling over western and eastern Turkey for more than a century, the date was chosen to mark the break between the medieval and modern periods... This clean break in times also marked a clean geographic breakdown: from then on, East and West seemed to no longer understand each other while hopelessly needing each other.
