Answer: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special thanks goes to God, the unconditional love and support of my wife, parents and extended family, my dissertation committee, Alex, the institutions of the United States of America, the State of South Carolina, the University of South Carolina, the Department of Political Science faculty and staff, the Walker Institute of International and Area Studies faculty and staff, the Center for Teaching Excellence, undergraduate political science majors at South Carolina who helped along the way, and the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict. This work was partially supported by a SPARC Graduate Research Grant from the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of South Carolina and the Sueng Yeun Kim dissertation grant from the Center for Asian Studies at the Walker Institute. I would especially like to acknowledge approximately half of Earth’s population currently living under some form of non-democracy. This work is not intended to disparage you or your country or your culture in any way shape or form. This work is designed to 1) help foster understanding and cooperation between people that reside in democracies and those that live in dictatorships, 2) highlight nonviolent approaches to governance that can hopefully prevent some of the atrocities that tend to occur more often in dictatorships, and 3) move us further along in the quest for a universal understanding of good governance. Henry, remember that knowledge is one thing that no person and no government can ever take away from you. Acquire as much of it as you possibly can.

Explanation:
The fall of Byzantium or its capital, Constantinople, in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire. The conquest of Constantinople was one of the priorities of the Ottomans, as it was an important strategic location that would allow for easier maneuvering by the Ottomans in every respect, between east and west. The conquest of Constantinople was followed by the octopus of Sultan Mehmed II, who was nicknamed "El Fatih" (Conqueror) after this endeavor. The fall of Constantinople will continue the Ottoman domination and territorial integration of the Ottomans into the interior of Europe.
