Domino Effect

Fall of Constantinople

Ottomans are now able to block off spice trade to Europe

Spain + Portugal look for new ways to India to get spices, tries going around Africa

Explorers begin trying to cross the Atlantic to reach India, finds the Americas instead

Massive colonization attempts by multiple European countries across Americas

Gradually new powers such as England and France join in; they begin colonizing what will eventually be the US and Canada

Massive war between England and France puts England in debt, they begin taxing their colonies.

Colonies revolt and form the United States of America...

...To continue, The colonial powers continue to get richer through their colonies and industrialization while the Ottoman Empire declines

WW1 happens, Ottomans are defeated and destroyed.

The event which marked the rise of the Ottoman Empire also doomed them to their eventual destruction centuries later. Poetic.
