Konstantynopol: ostatnie dni imperium

1453. The moment when the world as we knew it ceased to exist. Constantinople—a city that had resisted all enemies for over a thousand years—fell after a 53-day siege. This wasn't just a battle. It was the end of an empire that had believed itself eternal. In this episode, I tell the story of the final days of Byzantium: from its power and wealth, through its slow decline, to the dramatic siege and death of Rome's last emperor. You will learn: – why Constantinople was "impregnable" – how Mehmed II prepared for the siege – how the artillery that changed history worked – what happened in the city's final hours This is a story about how empires fall. And why it often happens too late to prevent it. — 🎬 Channel: History You Don't Know 📚 This material is based, among other things, on the book "The End of Everything" by Victor Davis Hanson.
