During the Middle Ages, Constantinople was attacked a number of times by both Christian and Muslim armies. It fell to crusaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1203, despite the fact that their doing so meant excommunication from the pope. In 1261, the Byzantine Greeks retook the city and reestablished it as the capital of the Byzantine Empire. It was finally taken by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

Why did the crusaders invade the city of constantinople?

The Crusaders invaded Constantinople primarily due to a combination of political, economic, and religious motivations. Initially, the Fourth Crusade was intended to recapture Jerusalem, but it became diverted towards Constantinople due to financial issues and the influence of Venetian merchants who sought to expand their trade routes. The city was also seen as a rival to Western Christendom, leading to tensions that culminated in the 1204 sack of Constantinople. This event significantly weakened the Byzantine Empire and altered the course of both the Crusades and Christian relations with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
