In the 15th century, the upcoming Turkish power has already grown. Turkey was a threat to the Byzantine Empire, as well as to the countries east of Byzantium towards the Balkans. At that time, the once mighty Byzantine Empire was greatly reduced to almost the area around Constantinople. With the fall of the capital city of 1453, finally Byzantium fell under the rule of the Turks.

The answer is: Turks.
