Years: 1461 - 1461
Mehmet had gradually annexed the last Palaiologian possessions in the Morea, completing the task with the conquest of Mistra on May 29, 1460.
Mehmed marches on the imperial city of Trebizond in 1461.
Uzun Hassan initially supports the Trapuzentines, but he is persuaded by the Ottomans to abandon the effort.
After securing the eastern border, Mehmed attacks Trebizond, whose last emperor, David Megas Komnenos, finally surrenders to Mehmed on August 15, 1461, after a twenty-one-day siege, ending the polity.
The transformation of the Eastern Greco-Roman world into the Ottoman world is at last complete.
