Mehmed II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, was a powerful leader of the Ottoman Empire who ruled twice. He defeated a crusade led by John Hunyadi and strengthened the Ottoman Navy during his first reign. Mehmed’s most significant achievement was the conquest of Constantinople at the age of 21, which marked the end of the Byzantine Empire. He claimed the title of caesar of Rome and continued his conquests in Anatolia and Southeast Europe. Mehmed implemented political and social reforms while promoting arts and sciences, transforming Constantinople into a prosperous imperial capital through his rebuilding efforts.
