A. They wanted to continue to trade with Asia but the Ottomans cut off their overland spice routes

Explanation:

  • The fall of Constantinople had far-reaching consequences, since the Ottomans had finally established themselves in the Balkans and could no longer prevent them in their march to Europe, which would only end under Vienna in 1683.
  • A large number of Byzantine scholars, after the fall of Constantinople and its collapse, will escape to Western Europe and contribute to the emergence of humanism and the Renaissance in European culture.
  • Because of all this, the fall of Constantinople is often considered the event that marked the end of the Middle Ages. In the final fighting during the siege, the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine also lost his life.
