Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans

The year is 1453. The once-mighty Byzantine Empire stands on the brink of collapse, its capital Constantinople besieged by the formidable Ottoman army. For centuries, these walls have held strong against invaders, but now they face their greatest test. Sultan Mehmed II, barely 21 years old, leads a force of over 100,000 men, determined to claim the city as his own. Inside, Emperor Constantine XI rallies his outnumbered defenders, knowing that the fate of Christendom hangs in the balance. As massive cannons pound the ancient walls and ships fill the Golden Horn, the stage is set for one of history's most pivotal battles. The fall of Constantinople would mark the end of an era and reshape the world for centuries to come.
