Between these to dates Constantinople changed drastically in its  governmental structure. Constantinople  in any case had a tremendous  retrieve in its  guile activity. Innovation  both(prenominal) militarily and nonmilitary within this metropolis however remained virtually unchanged  surrounded by 1450 to 1750. In short Constantinople transformed itself  amid 1450 to 1750 in the fields of government and business,  simply remained constant in its technological advancements.In the area of politics the chance of Constantinople couldnt have been more drastic in the years between 1450 and 1750. In1453 the Byzantine  imperium fell to the  quilt  pudding stone in the siege of Constantinople. This in turn allowed the  quilt Turks to take Constantinople and completely defeat the  repose of the remaining Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Empire renamed the  urban center to Istanb   ul and made it one of  in that location capitals of  in that location empire that govern  closely all of the Middle East.The  urban center was  extremely vulnerable to attack because of the forth crusades that  take the city and heavily depleted its  macrocosm and allowed ottomans to take it. This  bran-new government allowed for the  maturation of religions, even make Constantinople a  at a time Christian stronghold to a preponderantly Muslim city. This new government also allowed for a large rise in population going from a few thousand in the 15th  blow to the over half a  million in the 18th century.

The  simple(a) fact that the prices were too high  do trade impractical causing a lack of trade and Europeans looking to the ocean for trade with Asia. This in contrast with the  antecedent large amounts of trade that use to go through Constantinople because of its great location between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.Those most elements of the city of Constantinople were changed by the new empire that ruled it the one thing that stayed the same was the  applied science that was used in Constantinople. The Ottoman Turks were  very regressive and didnt embrace new technologies. This lack of progression caused by the Ottoman conservative clergy plus the lack of trade cause a lack of  public expo   sure and a lack of advancements in there society. This all the while the rest of the  orbit was making leaps and bounds forward. This was what caused the long  call demise of the Ottoman.
