Just doing a timeline concept - Ottoman Italia

Thanks. The idea of this is a much more western-oriented Ottoman Empire, one whom the leaders are more in tune for their Roman and Byzantine past. Instead of the title Padishah or Sultan holding prominence, it would be the honorific title of Kayser-i-Rum or Caesar. I'm sure that Mehmed's fascination to emulate ancient Rome would not die upon his death and would continue on amongst his successors.

After annexing Rome, The Emirate of Granada will be their next target, they are either likely to make them vassals, annex them or at least ally with them, it reminds me of the Seas of the Sultan timeline.

Vassalage is likely. The Ottomans wouldn't have the resources to install direct rule over a fledging kingdom.

Alternatively, this scares the elites in Castile and they decide to take Granada out while the Ottomans are busy consolidating whatever gains they make in Italy.

After all, the Ottomans have to send troops by sea, the Spanish can send troops by land.

In the timeframe of this, wasn't Castile in the middle of a civil war?
