22. The End of the World Part 2

Update: 2011-08-31

Description

Part 2 – In 1453 the Turks took Constantinople. This event finally ended the last remnant of the Roman Empire. It also shook Europe, challenged accepted beliefs about divine Providence and destroyed ancient certainties about the natural order of the world.
1453 was also the year in which the Valois monarchy won the 100 Years War, crystallizing for the future two distinct political ‘communities of identity’ – that of an England and that of a France.
Such enormous endings and new beginnings, happening simultaneously, provide a threshold historical moment which is a convenient point at which to end the series.
