Constantine was at war with the "Great" Mehmed ll of the Ottoman Sultanate, but Constantine won with the help of his lifelong friend, Skanderbeg the King of Albania, and the Crusade that the Church helped proved to destroy all of the power that the Ottoman's have in the Balken/Greece world. The Byzantines took all of modern-day Greece and Turkey for their own in a year and a half, and they had lost almost zero men in the wars besides the Siege of Constantinople. The Byzantines let all of the ready Crusaders kill and fight the Ottomans, and they swept off all the rewards of the wars. Constantine won all 23 major battles that he fought in and finally fought and killed Mehmed ll in the Battle of Ediren in Thrace leaving the Ottomans in shambles after the Crusade and now succession issues and civil war, nor do they control all of the land they did in the beginning of the war, but now the ottomans control only 35 percent of the most Eastern part of the sultanate by the year 1458. Constantine by the end of his life had kicked the Ottomans out of Europe and western Anatolia.
