Muslims Turn the Black Sea to an Ottoman Lake
In 1459 A.C. Sultan Muhammad Abu Al-Futuh captured a number of strategic seaports in the Mura lands thanks to Allah (Glorified be He). Afterwards, he devoted himself to overcome a Christian Greek state, which rose over the remains of the Byzantine Empire in 1204 A.C. He attacked its capital that was located on the Black Sea and seized it in 1461 A.C. He also took its king, David Kominin, as a prisoner of war and he remained in prison for a number of years.
In 1461, the Sultan took from them Amastria, which was a very strategic location to the north of Anadul. Then, he seized Caffe in 1475 A.C. and spread his complete sovereignty over all the trade centers and the Black Sea turned to be an Ottoman Lake.
