Well, it was a conquest of Constantinople, A 21-year-old achieved almost impossible.

Wow Mehmet literally finished the Roman empire and established the Ottoman

I just want to add one more the Mehumt's achievement was no less when compared with Cesar's or Alexander's. After 23 failed attempts he still tried and won, with fair and square. Although Alexander failed to establish an empire

I don't even understand, outside Turkey, more people know about Attaturk than Mehmet. If we compare him in the Indian context he is equivalent to Ashoka the Great. We even today use his seal as our national seal
Ataturk made modern Turkey and is in my opinion more important in modern history for them. India never really had a figure like that imo.

That I agree we never had any statesmanlike Ataturk, the personality I compared Mehmut with ruled 2000 years back .... Ataturk made the modern Turkey but you cant overshadow what Mehmet did when he was just 21

Booth are being remembered, among other, as an important milestone in Turkic history.
