The responsibility for conquering and renaming Istanbul lies primarily with Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire. He successfully captured the city, formerly known as Constantinople, in 1453. Following the conquest, he renamed it Istanbul, marking the city's transformation into a major center of the Ottoman Empire. This event significantly altered the course of history, establishing Istanbul as a pivotal cultural and political hub.
