Mehmed Fatih's greatest challenge lay in the mountainous backwater of Albania. What should have been a flash in the pan rebellion of a past hostage of the Ottomans turned into a multi decade slogging match on par with the modern conflicts in Vietnam or Afghanistan. George Kastrioti, or Skanderbeg as he is more commonly known, would win 13 consecutive battles over the course of 25 years that would cost the Ottomans more than 100,000 casualties. The unstoppable force of Mehmed II would meet the Immovable Object of Skanderbeg in the mountain trails of the eastern Balkans and there would be blood.
