Europe called him “Grand Turco”, that is, the big Turk. He made the Ottoman Empire a superpower… He was a military genius. Except for the first sultanate period, he ruled the Ottoman Empire for 30 years and made it the superpower of the period. At the head of his army, he commanded 25 expeditions. He equipped the Ottoman army with fire and the latest technological weapons of the time. He designed and had the first mortar fired for the conquest of Istanbul. He responded to Rome, who had closed the Golden Horn with chains, by running the ships from the land. He put an end to Eastern Rome at the age of 21, and by making Istanbul a Turkish land, he achieved the honor of becoming the commander praised by our Prophet with hadith. The conquest of Istanbul in Europe was seen as the greatest disaster of Christianity. It struck a great fear in Europe. His target was Italy. The conquest of Otranto in Italy in 1480 was the first sign of this. He didn’t live to complete it. He died on May 3, 1481, at the age of 49, when he was at the head of his magnificent army of 200 thousand people, while embarking on a new campaign that he knew his target. After his death, Europe and the Vatican took a deep breath and celebrated for days. Church bells rang for days. His death spread in Europe with the news of “The Great Turk is dead”. He was one of the greatest rulers recorded in history. He was an intellectual with a passion for geography, history, astronomy and science. When you say intellectual, nobody should confuse it with the current ones.! 😉 He was a great lawman. He made the foundations of the state unshakable with the law he prepared, which is named after him. How many people can praise the Prophet? Son of Sultan Murad, Fatih Sultan Mehmed Han. I commemorate…
