Hi all,

I have a question: time and time again I have seen that after Constantinople fell, the italian tradepost in the Eastern Mediterranean were closed, and it's presented as a direct consequence.

However, I see in other articles that the Venitian stayed in the mamluk empire until 1517 and b, at that point the Ottamns don't even control the Eastern Mediterranean!

Can somebody please explain? Thanks a lot!
