This history of the Byzantine Empire covers the history of the eastern Mediterranean empire from late antiquity until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD. Several events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the transitional period during which the Roman Empire's east and west divided.
An invasion of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 AD brought about the city's downfall and brought the Byzantine Empire to an end. Nevertheless, the Byzantine Empire was a major historical power that lasted for 1100 years.
