According to the division of Turkish history in later generations, there are only two dynasties in Turkish history, successively the Roma Dynasty (1077 to 1308 AD) and the Ottoman Dynasty (1299 AD to 1923 AD), and it is clear that the Ottoman Dynasty is much more famous than the Roma Dynasty and much more powerful than the Roma Dynasty.
The Roman Dynasty was founded more than two hundred years ago, and there were almost no monarchs with outstanding martial arts in Wenzhi, and in the later period of its rule in Turkey, it became a vassal of the Mongol Empire. On the contrary, the Ottoman Empire has been a monarch since its inception, and the two most famous monarchs are Mehmed II and Suleiman I.
Mohammed II and Suleiman I are not only famous in the history of Turkey, but also in the history of the world, so who are these two monarchs who is the greatest monarch in the history of Turkey?
Mehmed II, 7th Sultan of the Ottoman Dynasty
Suleiman I, the 10th Sultan of the Ottoman Dynasty
Born in 1432 AD, Mehmed II succeeded his abdicated father Murad II as Sultan in 1444 AD, becoming the 7th Sultan of the Ottoman Dynasty, only 12 years old, but abdicated after 2 years on the throne, allowing his father to re-ascend the throne when he was the Sultan of Taishang, and after his father's death in 1451 AD, he ascended the throne again at the age of 19.
During the reign of Mehmed II, the Ottoman Dynasty had developed into the most powerful state in West Asia, with the previous 6 generations of Sultans Osman I, Orhan I, Murad I, Bayezid I, Mohammed I, and Murad II all prominent rulers of wenzhi martial arts, beating the old enemy of the Eastern Roman Empire to the capital Constantinople and a few surrounding cities.
The geographical location of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Dynasty was the junction of Asia and Europe, and the Ottoman Dynasty wanted to enter Europe and destroy the Eastern Roman Empire as the only option, so Mehmed II inherited the legacy of the six generations of his ancestors and personally commanded the army to launch a war of annihilation against the Eastern Roman Empire.
On May 29, 1453, Mehmed II launched a decisive battle and successfully captured Constantinople, which lasted for 1058 and 12 dynasties of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire achieved the territory of the Ottoman Dynasty across the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, which was the greatest civil rule martial art during the reign of Mehmed II. Thereafter, Mehmed II continued to expand into the Balkans, almost half of the Balkans, another great martial art of civil rule during his reign.
Mehmed II's civil rule was equally outstanding, with schools of all kinds, vigorous cultural and artistic development, a policy of tolerance towards different religions, and so on. By 1481, Mehmed II died of illness while preparing to conquer rhodes, Greece, at the age of 49 and reigned for 32 years.
Mehmed II destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire
Born in 1494 AD, Suleiman I succeeded his father Selim I as Sultan of 1520 AD, at the age of 26, during which he showed greater political and military talent than his ancestors of the 9th Ming Dynasty, he continued to expand his territory, conquered the remaining territory of the Balkan Peninsula, and in 1521 captured Belgrade, the capital of present-day Serbia, destroyed the Kingdom of Hungary, and successfully conquered the entire Balkan Peninsula and northern Africa.
After that, Suleiman I went deep into the heart of Europe, the Turkish Ottoman Dynasty and the Austrian Habsburg Dynasty, for the first time in the hinterland of Europe, although the Ottoman Dynasty had absolute superiority, but it was still unable to conquer the Austrian capital Vienna, and finally ended with the withdrawal of the Ottoman Dynasty, Suleiman I turned the gun and expanded westward, defeating the equally powerful Iranian Sassanid Dynasty, incorporating most of the territory of West Asia and Central Asia into the territory, and the territory of the Ottoman Dynasty reached its peak under his rule.
Suleiman I's civil rule was no less than martial arts, and there were outstanding reforms and achievements in politics, economy, culture, law, etc., which made the Ottoman Dynasty enter its heyday, and the navy dominated the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Persian Gulf, and was the most powerful country in the world at that time.
Because of Suleiman I's outstanding martial arts and great historical contributions, he was honored by the Turks as the Emperor, and was the only monarch in Turkish history to be honored as the Emperor. In 1566, Suleiman the Great died of illness at the age of 72 and reigned for 46 years, making him the longest reigning monarch in Turkish history.
