Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman turks. These Turks conquered the Byzantine empire, but left Constantinople because it was too strong. Ottoman Turks originate from modern day turkey. They started off as a few tribes and became a whole nation! They were very strong! They soon reached Constantinople and attacked! Then the leader/king of turks, was pretending to be nice and sending letters, but he was building the first ever cannons! Constantinople found out and sent protesters but their heads were chopped off! :O Then the Turks got ready to fight but the cannons were not enough. Constantinople was on a peninsula with water on 1 side. The turks rolled boats with logs over to the ships! The people of Constantinople said that they would win when the moon turns dark. They didn't win! The emperor of Byzantium was killed in the fight. Now the Ottoman turks owned Constantinople and the Byzantium empire! They play an important part in history of how they defeated Constantinople.
