Fall of Constantinople, (May 29, 1453), conquest of Constantinople by Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire. The dwindling Byzantine Empire came to an end when the Ottomans breached Constantinople’s ancient land wall after besieging the city for 55 days. Mehmed surrounded Constantinople from land and sea while employing cannon to maintain a constant barrage of the city’s formidable walls. The fall of the city removed what was once a powerful defense for Christian Europe against Muslim invasion, allowing for uninterrupted Ottoman expansion into eastern Europe.

Britain and the colonists

Explanation:

The development of the British colonies, which until the mid-18th century. st. achieved considerable self-government, it was constrained by the arbitrary taxation of the colonists (Stamp Act of 1765, Townshend Act of 1770), who in the 1760s began to resist the centralist and mercantilist policies of British rule.
Thus, in 1765, the Sons of Liberty were founded in New England, and in the same year the Stamp Act was enacted.
Congress refused all extraordinary taxes, a boycott of British goods was declared, and is the accepted principle of the No taxation without representation policy of the American colonies.
