Fall of Constantinople

The year is 1453. For over a millennium, Constantinople has stood as the jewel of Christendom, a bastion of Byzantine power. But now, the once-impregnable walls of this great city tremble under the relentless assault of Ottoman forces. Sultan Mehmed II, barely 21 years old, leads an army of 150,000 men, determined to claim the city as his own. Inside, Emperor Constantine XI rallies his outnumbered defenders, knowing that the fate of an empire hangs in the balance. As siege engines thunder and cannonballs rain down, the final chapter of the Roman Empire is about to unfold. The fall of Constantinople would mark the end of an era and reshape the world as we know it.
