Welcome to the Byzantine Empire |
Fall of Constantinople
What Happened, and how? |
With four fourteen foot walls and the Golden Horn the Emperor thought that everything was safe and no one would be able to sack their city. Well the impossible was possible.
A Polish man came to Constantinople with something very important, it was the cannon. The Emperor said no to the offer but do you know who accepted the offer? The Ottomans. With a great army and many slaves they loaded their cannons and went to destroy Constantinople in 1453. The Golden Horn was impossible to get passed without getting your ship destroyed. But the Ottomans got passed it anyway. They put their boats on rollers on shore and rolled them passed the Golden Chain and back into the water to destroy Constantinople. |
