► Hagia Sophia, a church, was converted into a mosque by Sultan Mehmed II. This had a huge impact on Christianity and the Holy Roman Empire, as it triggered the rise of Islam, which soon spread to North Africa.

► The capital was renamed from Constantinople to Istanbul, to reflect the cultural and political change of the nation.

► The capture of Constantinople had led to the Turks acquiring a foothold on European soil, and led them to gaining a permanent base there.

► It had a significant effect on trade routes linking the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, as well as the European countries who depended on the route to trade with China and the East.

► Greek Christians living in Turkey fled to Italy, bringing their rich culture and knowledge with them, which sparked the beginning of the Renaissance.

► The fall of Constantinople led to the closure of the Silk Road, as well as one of the strategic routes to the East. It marked the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and the end of the Middle Ages. It also contributed to the discovery of the New World by John Cabot. This encouraged many explorers, including Christopher Columbus to try to find India and a new route to the East.

Thus, the city of Constantinople, which held out against many foreign invaders as well as four crusade campaigns, was now under the rule of its Turkish owners. Despite the fall of the city, many citizens believed that Emperor Constantine XI would rise again to reclaim the city and restore it to its former glory.

The negative side of the impact was that the Black Sea trade crashed as the Ottoman Empire essentially started a monopoly for trade.The Fall of Constantinople severely hurt trades in the European region. The Ottoman conquest affected the highly lucrative Italian trade and gradually reduced trade bases in the region.
