The Siege and Conquest of Istanbul 1453
In Feridun Emecen's account, the conquest of Istanbul is one of the most important events that completed the rise of the Ottoman Empire, both strategically and politically.
Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror besieged the city, breached its strong walls, and incorporated Istanbul into Ottoman territory in 1453. With this conquest, the Byzantine Empire came to an end, the Middle Ages closed, and the Modern Age began. Istanbul became the capital of the Ottoman Empire and played a critical role in the state's transformation into a great empire.
