Explanation

The fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 is traditionally considered the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe. This event led to Greek scholars fleeing to Western Europe with classical texts. The fall of Bastille (1789) marked the French Revolution, the Roman Empire fell in 476 CE, and the Spanish Armada was defeated in 1588.
