Mehmed (2018) Bangla Dubbed [Ep 1-7]

Sultan Mehmed II, known as Mehmed the Conqueror, rebuilt Istanbul, which had been ransacked by crusaders in 1204, into the biggest European city of the time, reviving it through reconstruction and widespread settlement.

The Fourth Crusade was directed not at Muslims but at Constantinople, modern day Istanbul, targeting the Byzantine Empire. In 1204, the crusaders who conquered Constantinople ransacked, demolished and burned the city. According to historian Steven Runciman, there is no other example of such extreme plundering throughout history. Istanbul permanently lost a degree of its magnificence Mehmed and richness after being ransacked. At the time, the city was in a period of regression. During the occupation, the city reverted back to a primitive village filled with gardens and fields; some at the time even described it as “a ruined, abandoned city wretched with poverty.”
