Those part of the tributes spent more mostly in newly conquered lands, It is islamic tradition to spend money to infidels to keep their support, if possible convert them voluntarily. Under direct Ottoman rule, peasants of the medieval Europe had comparatively far better life. That is the one of main reasons that Ottoman could have stayed in Europe so long.

Let them dwell in peace in my empire. And let those who have become refugees live and be safe.

Let nobody attack, insult or endanger neither their life or their property or the property of their church. Even if they bring somebody from abroad into my country, they are allowed to do so. As I have graciously issued this imperial edict, I hereby take my great oath: In the name of the Creator of the earth and heaven (Allah), the one who feeds all creatures, and in the name of the seven Mustafas and our great Messenger (Muhammad PbuH), and in the name of the sword I have, nobody shall do contrary to what has been written, as long as they are obedient and faithful to my command.”

"Rise of empires: Ottomans" is the netflix series on him

It is a partially correct explanation, but it has mistakes. First of all, it seemed impossible for Mehmet to ascend to the throne in the Ottoman Empire. Because he was not loved by his father, he was also the prince Aladdin, who was the favorite of his father, pashas and janissaries. Aladdin's accession to the throne was considered certain. However, the sudden death of Aladdin changed the whole history. His father Murat fell into depression with the death of his son and left the throne. Thus, fate laughed at Mehmet. Mehmet now had the throne he wanted so much. Yes, Mehmet always wanted to rule, even at the age of 12. The letter that Mehmet wrote to his father is an inconclusive rumor. He gave the throne back to his father, but this ambitious boy did not happen at the request of Mehmet. Mehmet's reign adventure was ended by Halil from the Çandarlı family, who had served the Ottoman Empire for a long time and had a say in the Ottoman Empire. But for Mehmet, everything was just beginning. His reputation was gone. He would not be able to speak if he ascended the throne again. The more he thought about these, the more his hatred for Çandarlı grew. Of course, he started to think about bigger things to regain his reputation. At that time, Mehmet had set his mind to conquer Constantinople. He would conquer Istanbul and write his name in history with golden letters. We will never truly understand Mehmet's thoughts. He is one of the most different personalities the world has ever seen. His vision and vision made the Ottoman Empire an unforgettable empire.

The thing fascinating about Mehmet II is; he really wanted conquer Constantinople because of the scientist and philosophs living there. He wanted to make philosophical debates with the intellectuals in Constantinople. This was his number one motivation. When he conquered the Istanbul he granted freedom everybody in the city but he really begged intelectuals to stay. He was a poet, scholar and engineer himself. He designed the cannons himself but hired Hungarian metallurgy master Orban to cast and craft them. He invented mortar artillery. These mostly because of his mentor Akshamsaddin. He was one of the greatest scientist of his era. One of the worlds first real surgeon. He defined microbe in his medicine books. Great people raise great people. Another funny thing when Mehmet II is dead he was loved so much that everybody wanted join his funeral. This includes freshly conquered Otranto's garrison. So most of the garrison returned for funeral, leaving castle undefended. And Italians recaptured the castle easily because of that.

He wanted to conquer Constantinople, yes, but the endeavour was not foremostly for the sake of the intellectuals living in the city; rather purpose was mostly oriented around social/religious, political and econimic grounds. Nevertheless, it is really a thing that he wanted to make intellectuals decide to stay with such concessions. But it was his number second motivation, at best. And the city also sacked for three days as a part of Islamic traditions of warfare. He was definitely a poet and a scholar. But not quite sure about the thing he's being an engineer and designing the great cannons for Orban to build them, where did you get it XD? The microorganisms was well about the Akşemsettin only, thanks to his patreon Mehmet II. Your last proposition is completely out of mind. Mehmet II was a hated ruler by his Muslim tebaa primarly due to his being a man of renaissance. Good amount of his achievements restitutioned when his son Bayezid took the throne. And Otranto being lost to Naples is solely about the lack of provision of food and man, not about garrison lefting the defense to participate Mehmet's funeral. Mehmet's last agenda was to continue to conquer Italian peninsula before his assasination. What a pity.

Mehmet khan I love you ❤❤ The Greatest Warriors 💪💪☪️🕌 Legend

Mehmed 2 the conqueror was not only a great strategist but also a renowed erudite, He had a strong interest in ancient Greek and medieval Byzantine civilization. His heroes were Achilles and Alexander the Great and he could discuss Christian religion with some authority. He was reputed to be fluent in several languages, including Turkish, Serbian, Arabic, Persian, Greek and Latin. At times, he assembled the Ulama, or learned Muslim teachers, and caused them to discuss theological problems in his presence. During his reign, mathematics, astronomy, and theology reached their highest level among the Ottomans. His social circle included a number of humanists and sages such as Ciriaco de' Pizzicolli of Ancona, Benedetto Dei of Florence and Michael Critobulus of Imbros, who mentions Mehmed as a Philhellene thanks to his interest in Grecian antiquities and relics. It was on his orders that the Parthenon and other Athenian monuments were spared destruction (From wikipedia)

A fun fact, Hagia Sophia is still registered as property of Mehmed the conqueror. When Türkiye was established it inherited all Ottoman properties but not the ones registered to Sultans. Ottoman had pretty strict rule of ''government property'' for centuries unlike western Kings who owned everything in the country. So vast majority of palaces etc were already government property while Sultans had some small palaces or properties here and there, they are still owned by descendance of Ottoman dynasty today.

Fatih never wanted to leave the throne. He left the throne with Çandarlı's compulsion. And for this reason, he had a great anger against Çandarlı. He killed Çandarlı with the conquest of Istanbul.

Mehmed II (Muhammad Han) died in his tent as him and his massive army were about to leave on a campaign towards Italy. (Ottomans already right before this conquered some areas in southern italy) The number one suspect upon his sudden death was his very close and trusted doctor of jewish descent (not being racist just facts)who it is said was bribed by the pope and after learning mehmed died the jannissarys were enraged and beat the doctor to death. Many wonder if Mehmed didn't die so young and unexpected what would have happend if he lived another even 5 years. Most likely would have Conquered Rome and centralized ottomans in Europe. He was by far the greatest and most loved Ottoman Sultan amongst his people and foreigners

Final Messenger of Allah foretold that “Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will that leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!” (Musnad Ahmed) And he said, We will lose it again to Romans before “King Mahdy from East” will reconquer before capturing Jerusalem. All prophecies will be fulfilled on correct time. In sha Allah

There are big mistakes about Murad 2. Murad had received from his father a state that had just emerged from the interregnum period. And he regained his strength before the interregnum. It wasn't Murad who created the problems. In addition, the letter that Mehmed II wrote to his father is an urban legend. Mehmed was too ambitious to actually do that.

The personality of Mehmed II the Conqueror (1432-1481) is portrayed with considerable variations in the chronographies, the histories, and the multi- farious other texts that pertain to the conquest of Constantinople and to the establishment of the Turks as the dominant power in the Balkan penin- sula. Theologians saw in the young conqueror the new Sennacherib, the precursor of Antichrist who was to destroy the Church of Christ', while se- veral humanists, historians, and scholars adopted a milder and often am- bivalent attitude. They described the Turks as "Asiatic barbarians" who might destroy the ongoing rebirth of the Greco-Roman culture, but at the same time evidently reflecting the Renaissance concept of the ideal prin- ce-they did not hide their admiration for Mehmed's strong personality, his administrative ability, his religious tolerance, and his military genius. In this spirit they did not hesitate to connect him with the Classical tradi- tion and draw parallels between the young sultan and Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Sometimes Mehmed was even portrayed as an exemplary leader, a "philosopher king" surrounded by artists and men of letters, a prin- ce who divided his time between victorious campaigns and leisurely academic pursuits reaching so far afield as to embrace Greek and Latin literature.2 Viator. (1970). United States: University of California Press. p. 349.

This visionary Sultan, who ascended to the Ottoman throne in 1451, left an indelible mark on the world with his military genius and his grand vision of a vast and powerful empire. Mehmed II was not only a conqueror but also a statesman, an architect, and a patron of the arts, whose achievements would shape the destiny of the Ottoman Empire.

Its funny when people disagree with someone without actually disagreeing with what that person said…

Jews in Ottoman: Among the few inhabitants of Constantinople ( after victory of Constantinople in 1453 by Mehmet-II, Ottoman Sultan) to have survived the Turkish seizure of the city were the Jews of the Balat quarter. Not long after the appointment of Gennadius ( the priest, first patriarch of Orthodox welcomed by Mehmed, after fall of Constantinople in 1453 ) or perhaps at the same time, Mehmed also selected a chief rabbi to preside over all the Jewish congregations of Turkey. His choice fell on Moshe Capsali, a man of piety and learning, founder of a celebrated family of scholars; Elijah Capsali, who in the sixteenth century wrote a Hebrew history of the Ottoman Empire that is still awaiting publication, may have been descended from him. The sultan, we are told, even made him a member of the imperial council (divan) , where he was honored by a seat next to the mufti, thus gaining precedence over the Greek patriarch; furthermore, he delegated to Cap￾sali certain political powers over the Jewish congregations of Turkey. It was Moshe Capsali who assigned the taxes to be paid individually or collectively by the Jews, appointed officials to collect them, and transmitted the proceeds to the sultan's treasury. He also possessed penal authority over all members of the Jewish community and the right to confirm the appointment of rabbis. In a word, he was the head and official representative of the Jewish community in the Ottoman Empire. Under the Conqueror, if the accounts of Jewish contemporaries are to be believed, Turkey was a paradise for the Jews, who were cruelly oppressed in Western Europe. Jewish emigrants from Germany were overjoyed at the favored position of the Jews in Turkey. They were free to live and trade as they pleased. There was no "golden penny" to pay, no crown taxes amounting to a third of their fortune. They could dispose freely of their property and dress as they saw fit, in silk and satin if they wished. Their enterprise found rich sources of profit, though it is true that they were soon obliged to limit their activities to commerce and moneylending. In 1454 Isaac Sarfati, a Jew born in Germany of French descent, sent a circular letter to the Jews of the Rhineland, Swabia, Styria, Moravia, and Hungary in which he spoke with enthusiasm of the fortunate conditions of the Jews under the Crescent in contrast to their yoke under the Cross, and encouraged his coreligionaries to leave the "great torture chamber" and come to Turkey. The years that followed witnessed a massive emigration of Jews to the Turkish paradise, especially from Germany. Certain countries, Italy in particular, prevented their Jews from leaving." " There can be no doubt about Mehmed's religious tolerance. If even a part of what Isaac Sarfati wrote from Turkey in his circular letter of 1454 to the Jews of Central Europe about the favorable situation of his coreligionaries under the Crescent was true, Mehmed's empire must have been a paradise for non-Moslem subjects (reaya) , especially Jews. Turkey, Sarfati wrote, was a country where nothing was lacking. Every man could spend his life unmolested under his fig tree and his vine. In judging this letter with its invitation to emigrate to the Ottoman Empire, we must not, of course, forget that the situation of the Jews in Central Europe in the middle of the fifteenth century was particularly wretched, that they were subject to incessant persecution, and that measured by these condi￾tions, Turkey, where no one was molested for his faith, could promise a truly blissful life. It must also be borne in mind that in his commercial undertakings and his fiscal policy, Mehmed preferred to rely on the help of Jews, including his physician Maestro lacopo, whom he sometimes, to the dissatisfaction of the Moslems, employed as his financial adviser. But also in Christian quarters, as it is more than once confirmed, each man could "seek salvation in his own way," complete religious freedom prevailed, and no one incurred serious difficulties because of his faith. There can be no doubt that the Christian inhabitants of places far from the seat of government were often oppressed and unjustly treated, but it is equally certain that this was not the work of the supreme authorities. The truly magnanimous treatment of non-Moslems in the Ottoman Empire under Mehmed can in large measure be attributed to his indulgence and mildness in religious matters, qualities which were in all likelihood closely related to his own liberal ideas on religion."

Outstanding Editing ❤❤❤

It’s Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alehi Wasalam who said, “Indeed! You will conquer Constantinople, What a great leader he will be and what a great his soldiers will be! “

Ottoman Sultan Mehmet-II's simplicity : " The old, simple ways that were soon to disappear are strikingly illustrated by the Tractatus de moribus conditionibus et nequitia Turcorum (Treatise on the customs, conditions, and iniquity of the Turks) written by Brother George of Muhlenbach after his twenty years in Turkish captivity ( 1438-1458). This work, editions or translations of which were put out by Erasmus, Martin Luther, and Sebastian Franck, gives a candid, unadorned account of life in the Ottom an Empire during those years. After assuring the reader that amid 1,00,000 horses one could scarcely hear the sound of a single horse-an observation corroborated by other contemporary observers, such as the Burgundian knight Bertrandon de la Broquiere, who describes the utter silence in a Turkish army camp he continues: Saddles and harness are of the greatest simplicity. There is no sign of vanity or superfluity. Nothing is simpler than the gear of the horses. No one bears arms unless he is leaving the camp. They are kept in sacks. No little dogs or mules are seen scampering about. No one bustles about on horseback or makes noise, as is custom ary among Christians. The great lords and princes display such simplicity in everything that they cannot possibly be singled out from the crowd. I saw the ruler, followed only by two young men, on his way to the mosque far away from his palace. I saw him going to the baths in the same way. When he returned from the mosque to his palace, no one would have dared to join his followers, no one would have made bold to approach him and to cheer him as is done in our country, to burst into the cry: "Long live the king," or other such applause as is customary with us. I have seen the sultan at prayer in the mosque. He sat neither in a chair nor on a throne, but like the others had taken his place on a carpet spread out on the floor. Around him no decoration had been placed, hung, or spread out. On his clothing or on his horse the sultan had no special mark to distinguish him. I watched him at his mother's funeral, and if he had not been pointed out to me, I could not have recognized him. It is strictly forbidden to accompany him or to approach him without having received express permission. I pass over many particulars that have been related to me about his affability in conversation. In his judgments he shows maturity and indulgence. He is generous in giving alms and benevolent in all his actions. The Franciscan brothers living in Pera have assured me that he came to their church and sat down in their choir to attend the ceremonies and the sacrifice of the Mass. To satisfy his curiosity, they offered him an unconsecrated wafer at the elevation of the Host, for pearls must not be cast before swine. Brother George's observations are confirmed by Bertrandon de la Broquiere and also by the so-called Serbian, but probably Greek, Janissary Constantine, son of Michael Konstantinovic of Ostrovica.

Peace maker Mehmet II - 2 : Perhaps the most important measure inaugurated by Mehmed before the end of 1453 ( after victory of Constantinople) and concluded in the first months of the following year was the election and consecration of a new patriarch according to the traditional ritual and custom. The few archpriests and laymen who had remained in the city soon agreed on the monk Genriadius, formerly the layman George Scholarius, who during the siege had fled from his monastery, been captured by the Turks, and sold as a slave in Edirne. Mehmed had him brought back to Constantinople and at the beginning of the new year, on January 6, 1454-and not, as most historians have written, in the summer of 1453-Gennadius was consecrated by the metropolitan of Heraclea (Marmara Ereglisi) and installed in his new office. Before the ceremony, the sultan sent for him, received him with special honors, and invited him to share his repast. On his departure, Mehmed presented him with a precious scepter and, in spite of the priest's protestations, escorted him into the courtyard, and ordered that all the Turkish dignitaries present should accompany him to the patriarchate. On a palfrey provided by the sultan, Gennadius rode to the Church of the Holy Apostles, which had been assigned to him as his official residence ...... Mehmed ordered a document issued to Gennadius to the effect "that no one should vex or disturb him; that unmolested, untaxed, and unoppressed by any adversary, he should, with all the bishops under him, be exempted from all taxation for all time." By decree the members of the Orthodox church were granted three privileges: first, that their churches not be transformed into mosques; second, that no one interfere with their marriages, funerals, and other church rites; third, that they be free to celebrate Easter with all its rites and that during the three nights of the celebraion the gates of Fener, the Greek quarter, remain open. In conquered Christian cities the sultans had always respected the juridical prerogatives of the bishops and metropolitans, allowing them to retain certain of their revenues and dignities. But quite aside from this precedent, there is no doubt that in the present case Mehmed aimed, by preserving the hierarchical structure of the Orthodox church, to perpetuate an institution that could be expected to serve his designs and to compensate to a degree for the present inadequacy of the civil administration. And Mehmed's installation of the Orthodox patriarch served still another purpose: it demonstrated that the supreme spiritual authority, not only of the Greeks but also of all Oriental Christendom, had fully recognized the new state of affairs. Thus, at the very inception of Turkish rule over Byzantium, any thought of resistance on the part of the new subjects and payers of poll tax was rendered unthinkable. Gennadius held three terms as patriarch, with his last appointment in 1465. Later he retired to the remote monastery of St. John Prodromos, situated in a picturesque, well-watered ravine on the flank of Mount Menikion (Boz Dag), near Serrai. Here, after a life of danger and excitement, he engaged in intensive theological studies. Alone and forsaken, he died shortly after 1472. Mehmed's installation of Gennadius as patriarch of the Greek Christians has recently been characterized as incompatible with Islamic law, on the ground that Constantinople did not surrender voluntarily but was taken by force ( cebren). In this view, Mehmed's protection of the Greeks and their church was one of several instances in which he disregarded the law. By his tolerance, the argument continues, he hoped to take the ground from under any possible crusading movement on the part of the West. It is perfectly possible that in pursuing a policy of indulgence, Mehmed looked beyond the situation of the moment; Book Mehmed the conqueror and his time Author: Fanz Babinger Edited: William C Hickman Translator: Ralph Manheim Edition: 1978 page :104,105

It's hard for me to decide who the greatest Ottoman emperor was out of Suleiman and Mehmed. Suleiman expanded the empire to its greatest height, into Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and even Subsaharan Africa, but Mehmed was the one who toppled the Roman Empire! All remarkable and historic feats.

If the Ottomans had not been busy with a civil war against the Timurid dynasty, the whole of Europe would have been under the Ottoman flag. It is quite sad that the Ottomans behaved very selfishly in the 14th century. Peace and permission were granted to conquer Eastern Europe, but the Ottomans canceled their natural spread to Europe and returned to fight against the Timurid dynasty, who were also Muslim brothers and desired sole rule. This led to the most devastating war in Muslim history. Thousands of elephants from India were used by the Timurids to crush the Ottomans, resulting in the deaths of 40,000 Ottoman soldiers. The Ottomans were declared defeated after their leader was killed by the Timurids.

He truly was a conqueror kaiser sultan the khan of khan defender of Islam all these name's he earned

In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.

During his reign Mehmet received letters from George of Trabezond to establish a new religion that was to merge Orthodox Christianity and Islam. Furthermore based on the work of Yahya Kemal Beyatlı and Reşat Ekrem Koçu during the time of Abdul Hamid the tomb of Mehmet II which is under the Fatih Mosque in the foundations of the church of the Holy Apostoles where the Roman emperors where buried was opened. They discovered that Mehmet was buried as a Roman emperor which caused a fuzz in the sultans circle so the entrance to the vault is sealed to everyone to this day. Although a speculation this may shed some light as to why Mehmet died suddenly.

Please give a video about Istanbul

The dominant reference point in religious warfare in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries was the Turk, and this chapter argues that ‘Turkishness’ was a multifaceted and changing identity. For many the essential enemy was the Ottoman Turks, whose aggression and brutality were widely disseminated. Their activities and plans were subjected to numerous prophetic and apocalyptic readings. Many contemporaries described their Christian opponents as Turks or ‘worse than Turks’, a practice that demonstrated both the potency of the Turkish image and the internal divisions which plagued the Christian world. For Erasmus and other moral reformers the Turk resided within each Christian, and Christian sinfulness was fully as fatal to the common defence of Europe as political rivalries. It was the achievement of Thomas More to synthesize these three images in a number of works that he wrote in the late 1520s and early 1530s.
