We all know Constantinople fell the the Turks at the end of the Medieval Period. Cannons have always been attributed to the Turkish victory.
Actually the Fall of Constantinople was a lengthy process. The fall started along with 1204. That really marked a turning point. Slowly, the Turks gained territory as the emperors neglected the middle class, turning their attention to Stratiots or Pronoias.
But it didn't work out, so in 1453, it fell forever.
Mehmet would have conquered Constantinople without cannons much much harder. Constantinople could have been constantly supplied by the ships, if he didn't construct the 2 fortresses on the entrances to the Bosphor: Rumeli Hissar and Boghaz Kessen. Those 2 stopped the ships with their cannons from entering the Bosphor to supply the city.![]()
And the fact is, Orban is considered Magyar, but he was born in Transylavania. At that time, Transylvania was part of Hungary. But in modern days, it belongs to Romania. So basically, I am really ashamed and angry of him.![]()
And another fact, which is really historical. The Hungarian diplomat sent by Janos Hunyiadi(born also in Transylavania) told the Ottoman bombers the triangle wall bombardment. THAT brought the walls down!!! Because of a diplomat sent to act in the interests of the Byzantines!!!![]()
As for the Kerkoporta, I really doubt it had such a big impact.
Discuss please.![]()
