Background

Mehmed II, commonly known as “The Conqueror” was a Turkish sultan who conquered Constantinople and ruthlessly consolidated and expanded the Ottoman Empire with a military crusade into Asia and Europe.

Mehmed conquered the Byzantine capital of Constantinople in 1453, then rebuild it into the prosperous Ottoman capital of Istanbul. His next goal was to create a world empire with conquest, reunifying Anatolia and pressing into Southeast Europe as far west as Bosnia. He also developed the Janissary infantry corps – young Christian warriors who were given salaries to keep them loyal to the sultan.

Mehmed was a proponent of religious freedom and emphasized the importance of justice of all. During his reign, mathematics, astronomy and Muslim theology reached their high point among the Ottomans. Today, Mehmed is considered a hero in Turkey and parts of the wider Islamic world.
