Description
In Volume 6, Gibbon ends his maserful history by charting the rise of the Turkish nation and the birth of the Ottoman, which becomes an unstoppable force as it eventually captures the remains of the Eastern Empire. Weakened under the continuing schism of the Greek and Latin Christians, the strategically importment site of Constantinople becomes an easy target for Sultan Mohammed II, much to the consternatio and apathy of the West.
