The Byzantine Empire, and its capital of Constantinople, held a strategic geographical significance. Constantinople is located right between the Black Sea and the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. As a result most trade between Asia, Europe and North Africa had to pass through the Byzantine Empire.
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.
