Answer:
Part A: Analyze the image and respond to the reflection question in at least
one paragraph.
1. How does the event depicted in the painting reflect the fall of the
Byzantine Empire?
a. Be sure to describe the event shown (HINT: who, what, when, Â where).
b. Include at least three details from the image in your answer (ex.
How did soldiers enter Constantinople?).
 The event depicted in the painting reflects the fall of
Byzantium because the event is the invasion of the
capital Constantinople in 1453 by the Ottoman
Empire. We can see the soldiers invading the city by
using ladders, allowing them to scale the walls and
actually get into the city. There are also immense
numbers of Ottoman soldiers, allowing them to
overwhelm the city. They are also using advanced
weapons, making it easier for them to take over the city.
