The Byzantine Empire fell in 1453 C.E. when the Ottoman Turks, led by Sultan Mehmed II, captured Constantinople. This event marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, which had been a significant power in the Mediterranean for over a thousand years. The other years listed, such as 476 C.E., are associated with the fall of the Western Roman Empire, not the Byzantine Empire.
