Can somebody tell me about the Fall of Constantinople in 1453?

As other people have pointed out, Wikipedia (or for that matter, any paper encyclopedia) will probably have this stuff.

However, to make a long story very short, the capture of Constantinople by the army of Sultan Mehmed II marked the final end of the Byzantine Empire, which had lasted for more than a thousand years, although it had been growing weaker ever since 1204, when the Fourth Crusade captured the city. After a long siege, the city fell, and many Greek scholars fled to the west, bringing elements of Greek culture with them. Some people claim that these Greek refugees were responsible for the start of the Renaissance.

i assume it may count on the guy. If it grew to become into some creepy guy I fairly knew, i could returned suitable off and tell him i grew to become into no longer fascinated. If it grew to become right into a cutie that I particularly fancied meself, i could be properly happy!
