4 Page Question 3 Evaluating: How did the Ottoman Turks establish power and expand their empire? 3. The Ottoman Turks were able to take new land with their elite Janissary who were trained as foot soldiers who served the Sultan. The Turks also had mastered the use of gunpowder making them a Gun Powder Empire with their more advanced weaponry. Due to the Ottomans victories they controlled other land like the Balkans and the Anatolian Peninsula. Then the began advancing west. At one point the Ottoman Empire was considered a threat to central Europe.

5 Question 4 Assessing: How was the Ottoman Empire ruled under the sultan? 4. The sultan, also known as the ruler of power, was the leader of the Ottoman Empire. The position was hereditary, meaning son always succeeded the father. The sultan had a grand vizier, or chief minister who carried the main burdens of the state who led the council meetings. There was also the pasha, who collected taxes, maintained law and order, and was directly responsible to the sultan's court.

6 Question 5 Summarizing: What were society and culture like in the Ottoman Empire? During the Ottoman Empire society and culture increased the status of the Sultan. Society was comprised of Sunni Muslims and they were Turkic- speaking people. Muslims were educated because of the ulema. The ulema administrated the legal system. Islamic law and customs were applied to all Muslims in the Ottoman Empire. The empire usually tolerated non-Muslims because they made up a significant minority in the empire. Non-Muslims paid a tax and were allowed to practice their own religion and they were allowed to convert to Islam. People of the empire were divided depending on their occupation. The four main groups were: Peasants, Artisans, Merchants, and Pastoral Peoples (nomadic herders). Peasants were leased land by the state and that was the land they farmed on. Women in the Ottoman Empire were restricted to the same things as women in other Muslim societies.

7 Do Now: 1. Describing: Describe the link between faith and art in the tile work of the Topkapi Palace. The depiction of human figures is forbidden in Islam. This is because the people believe it can encourage idolatry. Instead, they use geometric figures to decorate the painted tiles. 2. Theorizing: What was the symbolic importance of where the Topkapi Palace was located? The Palace is located next to the Bosporus Strait and the Sea of Marmara. This location is part of the essential trade route that connects the Aegean and Black Seas.

8 Documents 7-8 Document 7: Document 8:
One reason the Ottomans were interested in conquering Byzantine was the immense wealth that the city had. Gold, silver, and many gems were what many Christian relics were made of. Document 8: The Ottoman Empire and their Janissaries attempted to expand their empire through war.

After the death of Suleyman, sultans became less involved in government.  Members of the elite searched for wealth and power.  Local officials became corrupt, taxes increased, and palace intrigue grew.  Also, the growing impact of Western ideas and customs led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

21 Ottoman Empire “It would be wrong to call the Ottoman Empire a purely Islamic state. It was not. It was a state that claimed some kind of an attachment, some kind of allegiance to Islam, but combined it with other forms of heritage from the Byzantine tradition or from the Turkic tradition that did not really correspond to Islam. So they always had this very, (practical) approach to Islam.” — Professor Edhem Eldem, Bogazici University, NPR News, All Things Considered, August 18, 2004 This author is suggesting that during the Ottoman Empire (1) religion was mingled with historic traditions (2) most people belonged to minority religions (3) rulers tried to separate politics from religion (4) rulers operated under a strict set of laws (1) religion was mingled with historic traditions
