Detailed explanation-1: -The capture of Constantinople (1453) to the Ottoman Turks was a key event. Along with their victory, they now had significant control of the Silk Road, which European countries used to trade with Asia. Many sources state that the Ottoman Empire “blocked” the Silk Road.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Byzantine–Ottoman wars were a series of decisive conflicts between the Ottoman Turks and Byzantine Greeks and their allies that led to the final destruction of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Ottoman Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1453, the Ottoman Turks won the city of Constantinople from the Byzantine Empire and so, the only land route that connected Europe and Asia was no longer accessible.
