How did mehmet Il overcome the strategic blocking of the golden horn by the byzantines

History

By the time Mehmed became Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire (1451), the Byzantine Empire was reduced to Constantinople itself, the Peloponnese, and a handful of Aegean islands. The Ottomans had had control of the territory surrounding Constantinople for decades. Mehmed fortified both sides of the Golden Horn, and would eventually lay siege to Constantinople.

Those fortifications were largely there to block reinforcements from the Black Sea, namely the Genoese in the area. In response, the Byzantines stretched a chain across the Golden Horn to keep the Ottomans from using their naval superiority to assault a section of the walls.

Some Christian reinforcements managed to get past the blockade, and Mehmed decided to make up for his navy’s failures by rolling his ships on greased logs overland, then putting them back in the water behind the chain. This rendered the Byzantines chain useless, spread their troops to defend all of the city’s walls, and made the siege much easier on the Ottomans.

In response to public concerns about domestic terrorism, what did the u.s. government established in 2002
sp2606 [1]
The government created the Department of Homeland Security in 2002.

Americans were worried about terrorism in general during this time due to the attacks on the twin towers on September 11, 2001. This attack on American soil shook America's foundation and caused an increased amount of fear. The citizens looked to the government to increase security/investigations to ensure that this did not happen again. Hence the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.

This government agency is focused on several different categories. This includes: cyber security/cyber terrorism, border safety, anti-terrorism (aka terrorism prevention), and disaster prevention. This agency still exists today and plays a huge role in preventing attacks on American soil.
