This video talks about the war between the Ottomans and the Eastern Roman Empire from June 1452 to April 1453. This takes a look at the measures Constantine took in preparing Constantinople for its impending siege as well as the major events that took place during the war, such as the conquest of Roman Thrace and the invasion of the Morea.
