1st Gallipoli

The fall of Gallipoli to the Ottomans occurred in March 1354. After suffering a half-century of a string of defeats at the hands of the Ottomans, the Byzantines had lost nearly all of their possessions in Anatolia. Access to the Aegean and Marmara meant that the Ottomans could now implement the conquest of the Peloponnese, Greece and further north into Serbia and Hungary.
