It is a somewhat little-known fact that, after the Fall of Constantinople, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed "the Conqueror" was given the title "Caesar of Rome" (Turkish: Kaiser-i-Rum), considering himself and the Ottoman Empire to be the successor to the Roman (and Byzantine) Empire, based on his capture of Constantinople ("New Rome"). But what if, by stroke of luck, the Sultan was able to get the title he long dreamed for, even for a short while? What would become of the world with an Ottoman Caesar of Rome?

abstract	It is a somewhat little-known fact that, after the Fall of Constantinople, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed "the Conqueror" was given the title "Caesar of Rome" (Turkish: Kaiser-i-Rum), considering himself and the Ottoman Empire to be the successor to the Roman (and Byzantine) Empire, based on his capture of Constantinople ("New Rome"). This title was ignored by the majority of Christian Europe, even the Patriarch of Constantinople. Eventually, this title was forgotten, and the successors to the Sultan preferred the titles "Sultan of the Empire" and the "Caliph of Islam" instead. The dream of succeeding the ancient Roman Empire ended. But what if, by stroke of luck, the Sultan was able to get the title he long dreamed for, even for a short while? What would become of the world with an Ottoman Caesar of Rome?
