Mehmed II’s reign began with the death of his baby brother. According to some sources, the new sultan had his baby brother drowned to avoid any future power struggles.Mehmed II was responsible for the sieging of Constantinople, Moldavia, Albania, and the rest of Anatolia. With his conquest of Constantinople, he viewed himself as the continuation of the Roman Empire and not a replacer of it. Although the other European bodies at the time did not view him in the same way. There has always been a struggle between Islam and Christianity within Europe and its borders.
