The British historian, Byzantinist Stephen Ransimen in his work tells that he led Byzantium to the edge of death, and the Turks to the triumph, why Europe chose not to notice the difficult situation in which the Byzantines were, and the help received by them was so void. The book sets out the course of military operations in detail, the reasons that led to the fall of Constantinople after a relatively short siege, and the consequences of all this, which was a terrible shock for the Christian peoples. The victory allowed the Turks not only to establish a new capital, but also to secure a strong position in Europe for further conquests. For the Greeks, the defeat meant the death of Byzantine civilization and the departure of Greek culture in the underground, and, in addition, it led to the outcome of Byzantine intellectuals to the West, which played a significant role in the European revival
