The invincible Arab army set its sights on Constantinople, and they weren't going to stop until the Roman Empire was gone forever. Luckily for the Romans, the Theodosian Walls were strong enough to repel the largest army the world had ever produced.

The History of Modern Greece covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, all the way through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922.
