Ottoman Sultans Rise From Othman to Mehmet II
The piece surveys the early Ottoman rulers from Othman through Murad II and Mehmet II, detailing their characters, key campaigns, battles such as Nicopolis and the fall of Constantinople, and the dynasty’s violent intrigues, conquests, and enduring resilience. It contrasts their deeds with classical Rome and notes the empire’s dramatic expansion and brutal power dynamics. The article also includes an abrupt, unrelated scientific claim about the moon being a captured planet.
