  The Fall of Berlin - The Final...

  In the final years of World War II, the fate of Nazi Germany seemed sealed. By early 1945, the once-feared Reich was in rapid decline. The German military was stretched thin, fighting on multiple fronts, and its once-unstoppable war machine had been crippled by continuous defeats. The Allies from the west and the Soviets from the east were closing in, their forces overwhelming the remnants of the German military. 
    
  In the East, the Red Army’s relentless advance had already pushed the Germans back hundreds of miles from the Soviet Union’s borders. The success of the Soviet offensives, especially following the victory at Stalingrad, left the Nazis reeling. Soviet General Zhukov’s forces had already crossed the Vistula River in Poland and were now bearing down on the Oder River, just a stone’s throw from Berlin. The Red Army’s advance was swift, and Hitler, from his bunker beneath the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, could no longer deny the grim reality that the capital was in imminent danger. 
    
  Despite this, Adolf Hitler refused to surrender or even entertain the thought of defeat. His obsession with holding Berlin—his “fortress”—was absolute. As Soviet forces neared the capital, he remained convinced that a miracle might still turn the tide. To his inner circle, this delusion became apparent. His judgment was clouded, and the once-great military genius was now a desperate and isolated dictator. He ordered that Berlin be fortified, even though it was clear that the city’s defenses were insufficient against the overwhelming Soviet force.

  Fall of Rome and Constantinople...

  Charles River Editors

  For the people of the ancient Mediterranean and beyond, the city of Rome had been a symbol of power for centuries, and entering the early 5th century CE, the Eternal City hadn’t been taken by an enemy force since the Gauls had done it about 800 years earlier, an unheard of period of tranquility in a world wracked with almost constant warfare. 
  	Thus, when the Visigoths, whom the Romans considered uncultured and inferior, took the city of Rome and sacked it in 410, the world was stunned. It made theologians of the newly Christianized empire question God’s plan on Earth, and it encouraged many leading Romans to look east to Constantinople for their future. Indeed, the Western Roman Empire would completely collapse in the late 5th century, less than 70 years after the Visigoths sacked Rome, and just how it went from being a superpower to a poorly led, weak, and vulnerable shadow of its former self has preoccupied historians for centuries.  
  To this day, it remains difficult to trace just when the decline began, but it’s fair to say that the sack of Rome was the result of a number of factors that had been coalescing for many years. 	In the end, the fall of the Roman Empire was not a tale of cataclysmic events that shattered the sprawling power, but the culmination of centuries of internal dissent and decay, combined with growing external threats that led to gradual decline and eventually to the empire’s final destruction.  
  	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. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed.
