Mehmet II, also known as Mehmet the Conqueror, took control of Constantinople in 1453 through a well-planned military campaign that combined innovative tactics and overwhelming force. He laid siege to the city for about two months, utilizing large cannons, including the famous Basilica cannon, to breach the formidable walls. On May 29, after a final assault, his forces overcame the defenders, leading to the fall of the city. This victory marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and established Constantinople as the new capital of the Ottoman Empire.
