Was reading news world today and came across this article:
https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Constantinople,_Fall_of

"The Fall of Constantinople was the conquest of the Byzantine capital by the Ottoman Empire under the command of Sultan Mehmed II... This marked not only the final destruction of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the death of Constantine XI, the last Byzantine emperor, but also the strategic conquest crucial for Ottoman rule over the Eastern Mediterranean and Balkans."

Uh... why isn't anyone else reporting on this? Isn't this kind of a big deal? I went on NYT, WSJ, FOX, CNN - no one's running anything. Why don't they want people to know about this?
