Muhammad II
Muhammad II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, was the Ottoman Sultan from 1444 to 1446 and again from 1451 to 1481. He is best known for his conquest of Constantinople in 1453, which marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of Ottoman dominance in the region. His reign was characterized by significant territorial expansion, cultural flourishing, and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire as a formidable power in both Europe and Asia. His legacy includes a notable emphasis on art and architecture, exemplified by the construction of the Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia's conversion into a mosque.
