WI of the sons of Mehmed II "the Conqueror" Cem had won the succession war between him and his brother Bayezid II? OTL he was defeated and went to exile in Egypt and Europe. What if he had became the Sultan?
It would butterfly Selim the Grim (well he would be born but his reign would be butterflied) and Suleiman the Magnificent (along with every other OTL Ottoman Sultan). We can't exactly speculate on Cem's successors but how would his reign differ from Bayezid? Would Bayezid go in exile like his brother? Since Janissaries mostly supported Bayezid could they be prematurely dissolved?
