Fatih Sultan Mehmed adopted
the understanding of dominance in the world which is an old Turkish tradition.
Fatih Sultan’s aim was to collect both Christian and Islam civilization under
his hegemony so that he can establish a global empire. Following the conquest
of Istanbul, Sultan Mehmed’s first initiative was to build a great and rich
center for his state that became an imperial force. Then, he wanted to abolish
the factors which might lay a claim on Istanbul. Furthermore, his political agenda was to abandon the regional
principalities system; and he wanted to conquest all principalities directly so
that he can establish a central empire. The Balkan Peninsula was a region that
should be under control against the western threats and at the same time it was
a gate to transfer the Turkish-Islam civilization to the west. He followed the way of abolishing the
principalities till Tuna so as to establish his dominance over the region; and
he combined all Balkan Peninsula in one entity. The besieging of Bosnia was one
of the initiatives towards this aim. In this research, conquest of Bosnia in
the period of the Mehmet II (1480), will be evaluated through the works of
classical Ottoman history writers such as Tursun Bey, Oruç Bey, İbn Kemal,
Solak-Zade Mehmed Hemdemî Çelebi.
Fatih Sultan Mehmed,
eski bir Türk geleneği olan cihan hakimiyeti fikri doğrultusunda Hıristiyan ve
İslam dünyasını hakimiyeti altında toplamayı ve cihan devleti kurmayı
amaçlamıştı. İstanbul’u fethederek devletini imparatorluk payesine çıkaran
Sultan Mehmed ilk olarak burası üzerinde hak iddia edebilecek unsurları ortadan
kaldırmayı ve burayı büyük, zengin bir merkez haline getirmeyi hedeflemişti.
Ayrıca onun bir diğer siyaseti de Anadolu ve Rumeli’de bağlı beylikler
sistemini bırakarak doğrudan ilhak suretiyle merkeziyetçi bir imparatorluk
kurmaktı. Nitekim Balkan
yarımadası Osmanlı Devleti’ne batıdan gelebilecek olan tehlikeler için kontrol
altında tutulması gereken bir bölge aynı zamanda Türk İslam kültürünü batıya
taşıyabilecekleri bir kapıydı. Bosna’nın kuşatılması da bu amaca yönelik
girişimlerden biriydi. Bu araştırmada, Bosna’nın Sultan II. Mehmed
döneminde fethi, Tursun Bey, Oruç Bey, İbn
Kemal, Kritovulos, Neşri gibi klasik dönem Osmanlı tarih yazarlarının eserlerinin
ışığında değerlendirilecektir.
