Caption
The capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. This signified the fall of the Byzantine empire and, for certain historians, the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. The battle utilized the marine and the artillery, while the Basileus had allied with the Venitians and the Genoans.
