On 29 May 1453, the army of Sultan Mehmed II captured Constantinople. What brought the ancient imperial capital to this point, and why does the date still matter?
In this episode, Global History follows the decline of Byzantine power, the rise of the Ottoman state, and the military campaign that overcame the city’s defences. From the crusader sack of 1204 to the cannon, naval manoeuvres, and final assault of 1453, we explore the wider connections behind the siege.
The episode also examines alliances across religious boundaries, the survival of Byzantine cultural traditions, and the contrasting memories of conquest and loss. It asks how a dramatic event becomes a symbolic date in world history.
The sources used for this episode have been reviewed by a historian specialising in Ottoman history.
