The fall of Constantinople, also known as the conquest of Constantinople, was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire. The city was captured on 29 May 1453 as part of the culmination of a 53-day siege which had begun on 6 April. The attacking Ottoman Army, which significantly outnumbered Constantinople's defenders, was commanded by the 21-year-old Sultan Mehmed II, while the Byzantine army was led by Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos. After conquering the city, Mehmed II made Constantinople the new Ottoman capital, replacing Adrianople. 00:00 Introduction 00:33 Mehmed comes to power 01:08 Siege preparations 02:47 Defensive preparations 03:36 The Ottoman force 04:02 The siege begins 04:34 The Ottomans take surrounding castles 05:32 The bombardment of Constantinople 06:01 The first assault 06:52 The Byzantines break through the blockade 07:30 The battle for the harbour 08:45 The Ottomans attack again 11:34 The Ottomans try to mine under the walls 12:22 Mehmed's war counsel 13:31 The final assault 14:53 The Byzantines begin to break 16:18 Constantine's last stand 16:51 The Ottomans sack the city 17:44 The aftermath
