Ottoman Empire Around 1300 the Ottomans began to build a empire on the edge of the Byzantine Empire (were one of the first groups to use muskets and cannons) The Ottomans expanded into the Byzantine Empire: they treated their conquered subjects with respect allowing trade and religious freedom

By the 1400s the Empire had grown strong and decided to attack the last strong hold of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople In 1453 the Ottomans used cannons to subdue and capture the city: they rebuilt it and changed the name to Istanbul

Why did the Byzantine Empire fall? In 1453, an Ottoman army surrounded Constantinople and the city was forced to surrender. Renamed “Istanbul” After the city fell, the power of the Byzantine Empire was officially over.

Why did the Byzantine Empire fall?
