Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fourth Crusade, which took place in the early 13th century, was diverted from its original goal of reclaiming the Holy Land and instead ended up sacking Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, in 1204. This event was largely influenced by the Venetians, who saw an opportunity to expand their commercial interests.
