  In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire.  The fall of Constantinople is still well-known today, but the Ottoman Empire was already pushing into Europe beforehand, and it would take repeated efforts by various European coalitions to prevent a complete Ottoman takeover of the continent. At the time, the most powerful European countries in Eastern Europe and the Balkans were Poland and Hungary. Russia was still throwing off the Mongol yoke, France and England were fighting an interminable war, Germany was broken into hundreds of entities, and the Holy Roman Empire was fighting the rise of Protestantism. The Italian merchant city-states of Venice and Genoa were intimately tied to the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire, the Black Sea, and the Ottomans. Genoa had been something of an Ottoman ally since the 1300s, even while the Ottomans were looming as a grave threat to Europe. 
  	The Ottoman Sultan Murad II became known as the Ghazi Sultan and was seen as not only defending Islam against the Christians but also as a defender of other, less powerful Muslim beys. Thus, he gained support from Muslims both far and near before he turned his armies towards Venice, the Karamids, Serbia, and finally Hungary, which would get the Europeans’ attention. In the historic tradition that already dated back over 300 years, a crusade was called to stop the Ottomans, and the main battle would be fought near Varna, a fortified city on the Black Sea coast of what is now Bulgaria. The result would set into motion the Ottomans’ far more famous forays into Europe.

  Maximilien Robespierre was one of the most influential figures in the French Revolution, known for his uncompromising ideals and his central role in the Reign of Terror. His journey to power began in the late 18th century when he became involved in political life during the early stages of the Revolution. Robespierre’s rise was fueled by his belief in the revolutionary principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity, which he argued should be upheld at any cost, even if that meant the use of violence. 
  Born in 1758 in Arras, Robespierre came from a relatively humble background. He was educated at the College of Louis-le-Grand in Paris, where he developed an interest in law and politics. His education and his early career as a lawyer played a significant role in shaping his later political philosophy. He was known for his eloquence and his ability to persuade others, often advocating for social justice, the rights of the common people, and opposition to corruption. These early convictions aligned with the revolutionary ideals that emerged in the wake of the financial crisis and political instability that plagued France in the late 18th century. 
  In 1789, when the Estates-General convened, Robespierre became a representative of the Third Estate, which included the common people of France. He quickly gained attention for his passionate speeches advocating for reforms, such as universal suffrage and the abolition of the monarchy. His ideas resonated with many of the revolutionaries who sought to overturn the existing political system. Robespierre’s reputation grew as he joined the Jacobin Club, a political group that played a central role in shaping the revolutionary agenda. His alliance with the Jacobins and his tireless advocacy for the principles of equality and justice won him a position as a member of the Committee of Public Safety, the body responsible for overseeing the defense of the revolution.
