Gallipoli fell to the Ottomans in 1354. After suffering a string of defeats at the hands of the Ottomans, the Byzantines had lost all possessions in Anatolia. Access to the Aegean meant that the Ottomans could now implement the conquest of the Peloponnese, Greece and further north into Serbia and Hungary.
