The corrupted governance and the deceit from within the empire was a major reason for the downfall of the mighty Roman empire.Moreover the strong will force of Mehmet,who was a the greatest Ottoman Ruler caused the total downfall of the Eastern Roman Empire.The Ottoman Turks not only taught the Romans nice lesson, but also prevented or stopped them from thinking that they are the only ruler of the world!! Another important reason was that the citizens of West Asia were suffering heavily under the corrupted Roman regime.So they tolerated the Turks and wanted them to take over Constantinople, the then capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.The Byzantines(Eastern Romans) had no answer against the Turkish bombard cannons which ultimately led the Romans to surrender Constantinople.
