For centuries, the walls of Constantinople seemed invincible. But when the city finally fell, it brought the end of the Byzantine Empire and took the Ottoman Empire to new heights. In this episode of Perspectives, three experts discuss what made Constantinople so hard to conquer and how the Ottomans finally succeeded, plus the ways they changed the world in the aftermath.
