Mehmed II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, prepared to conquer Constantinople by strengthening his military forces and employing innovative siege tactics. He assembled a large and diverse army, including elite Janissaries, and invested in heavy artillery, notably the massive cannons designed by the engineer Orban, to breach the city's formidable walls. Additionally, he secured alliances, built a fleet, and established a blockade to cut off supplies to the city. His strategic planning and relentless determination culminated in the successful siege in 1453.
