The Fall of Constantinople in 1453 came about because someone forgot to close and lock a major gate. The Sinking of The Bismarck. The captain of Germany's largest battleship decides to break radio silence after being warned not to do so, contributing to the sinking of the Great Ship and an enormous Allied victory.
