Editor's Note:
En términos de geopolítica, quizás el acontecimiento más importante de la Edad Media fue el exitoso asedio otomano a Constantinopla en 1453. La ciudad había sido una capital imperial ya en el siglo IV, cuando Constantino el Grande cambió el centro de poder del Imperio Romano, estableciendo efectivamente dos mitades casi igualmente poderosas del imperio más grande de la antigüedad. Constantinopla seguiría siendo la capital del Imperio Bizantino incluso después de que la mitad occidental del Imperio Romano se derrumbara a finales del siglo V. Naturalmente, el Imperio Otomano también usaría a Constantinopla como capital de su imperio después de que su conquista terminara efectivamente con el Imperio Bizantino, y gracias a su ubicación estratégica, ha sido un centro comercial durante años y sigue siendo uno de ellos hoy en día bajo el nombre turco de Estambul. La conquista otomana de Constantinopla también desempeñó un papel decisivo en el fomento del Renacimiento en Europa occidental. La influencia del Imperio Bizantino había ayudado a asegurar que era el guardián de varios textos antiguos, sobre todo de los antiguos griegos, y cuando Constantinopla cayó, los refugiados bizantinos acudieron en masa al oeste para refugiarse en Europa. Esos refugiados trajeron libros que ayudaron a despertar el interés por la antigüedad, que alimentó el renacimiento italiano y esencialmente puso fin a la Edad Media. La larga agonía del "hombre enfermo de Europa" , una expresión utilizada por el Zar de Rusia para describir el imperio en decadencia, podría casi cegar a la gente sobre su increíble poder e historia. Preservando su herencia mixta, proveniente tanto de su posición geográfica que se elevaba sobre las cenizas del Imperio Bizantino como de la tradición heredada de las conquistas musulmanas, el Imperio Otomano duró más de seis siglos. Sus soldados lucharon, murieron y conquistaron tierras en tres continentes diferentes, convirtiéndolo en uno de los pocos imperios multiétnicos estables en la historia, y probablemente uno de los últimos. Así pues, es algo inevitable que la historia de su disolución se encuentre en el centro de complejas disputas geopolíticas, así como de tensiones sectarias que siguen siendo fundamentales para comprender Oriente Medio, el norte de África y los Balcanes. A pesar de todo esto, el Imperio Otomano sobreviviría más de 200 años más, y en el último siglo de su vida luchó por reformar su ejército, administración y economía hasta que finalmente se disolvió. Años antes del colapso final del Imperio, el Tanzimat ("Reorganización"), un período de reformas repentinas, condujo a cambios significativos en el aparato militar del país, entre otros, lo que ciertamente explica el éxito inicial que el Imperio Otomano fue capaz de lograr contra sus rivales. Del mismo modo, la redacción de una nueva Constitución (Kanûn-u Esâsî, ley fundamental) en 1876, a pesar de que fue rechazada por el sultán Abdul Hamid II apenas dos años después, así como su reactivación por el movimiento "Jóvenes Turcos" en 1908, pone en relieve la comprensión entre las élites otomanas de que era necesario el cambio, y su convicción de que ese cambio era posible. En general, la historia de la disolución puede definirse como una carrera entre la creciente "enfermedad" del Imperio por un lado (la incapacidad del otomano para apaciguar y federar
