    However, the Gunpowder Empires were ruled by absolute dictators who allowed their citizens very few freedoms and rights. Francois Bernier, a French traveler, points out that the leaders were “cruel and oppressive” and there were no governmental or legal checks to restrain the whims of these leaders. (Doc 3) Bernier would have emphasized the Ottoman rulers’ oppressive behavior in order to make his absolute monarch, King Louis XIV, look better. In Jahangir’s document, he consistently uses “I” concerning the achievements of the empire, showing that he had absolute control over everything that happened. (Doc 1)…

    Comparing The Ottoman And Safavid Empires

    The Ottoman Empire lasted for more than four centuries (1299-1922), and was not dismantled until the end of the World War I (Gelvin, 9). The Ottoman Empire governed a vast amount of territory from the Middle East, North Africa and even parts of Europe (Gelvin, 10). The Ottoman and Safavid Empires overlapped and had many similarities, but the Ottomans were more successful in maintaining a strong empire. The Safavids were successful until the interregnum period that brought Persia war, depopulation, famine and de-urbanization (Gelvin, 10). These factors brought the Safavid Empire to an end, even as…

    Compare and Contrast the Spanish and the Ottoman empires

    During the time period from 1450 to 1750, two powerful empires were in the process of being built. These two empires were the Ottoman and the Spanish. During the building process of their empires, the Ottoman and the Spanish both developed many similarities in their political, social, and economic affairs. A major similarity between these empires was that they both had a similar slave system. Although the Ottoman and the Spanish had many similarities, they also had many differences. The religions in the empires were one of the biggest differences between them because the Ottoman practiced Islam, but the Spanish practiced Christianity. Another major difference was that the Ottoman focused on land based trade, while the Spanish focused on sea based trade. The Ottoman and the Spanish empires both had a similar slave system, but they were different in the aspects of religion and type of trade.…

    Ottomans v. Safavids v. Mughals Comparative Essay

    The Safavid, Mughal, and Ottoman empires all depended in some way on the allegiance of non-Muslims to the empire. The Ottoman emperors were kinder on their conquered people, and the main separation between Muslims and non-Muslims in the empire was the tax on the dhimmis (non-Muslims). The Safavid leaders were more forceful in this regard. They imposed on subjects to convert to Islam unless they were an asset in trading with Europe. However, the leaders of the Mughal Empire, starting with Akbar, were far more just and understanding toward conquered people (mainly the Hindu population) in northern India.…

    Ottoman Empire Dbq Analysis

    The struggle between Greece and the Ottoman Empire can be dated back to the fifteenth century. The Ottoman Empire found itself fragile after the Napoleonic Wars of the 19th century, giving Greece an advantage to gain their independence from the Turkish Muslims. Nationalistic fervor spread among the Greek population, strengthening their will to overcome the rule of the Ottomans. From such tension rose a great war among the Greeks and the Ottomans, with the intervention of France, Russia, and Great Britain. This defensive union granted the Greeks with their independence in 1830. Although the Turkish Muslims thought of Greeks as simple drunkards and brigands, other critics saw them with heroic character, and the Turks as the ones who have stolen…

    Muslim Empire Dbq

    The Mughal empire was founded by a Chagatai Turk named Babur, who claimed descent from both Chinggis Khan and Tamerlane. The Mughal was a very influential empire, but it reached its greatest point under the leadership of Aurangzeb. During his reign, Aurangzeb conducted a continuous campaign to impel Mughal authority deep into the southern India. The Mughals were also known to be a very rich and powerful empire. They used their wealth to build up their military and to show other nations how easily they could buy advanced weaponry and armor to strengthen their army (Doc. 2). Even though the Mughals were a very rich and influential empire, the leadership of the dynasty became very naive and ignorant. The monarch would give land to their military men, and whoever lived the villages within it automatically became were under their control. The people living in these villages started questioning “why should I toil for a tyrant who may come tomorrow and lay his rapacious hands upon all I possess?” (Doc. 5). As a result, the government became faulty and untrustworthy to the citizens and this caused a decline in their…

    Ottoman Empire Dbq Essay

    From 1520 to 1566 in eastern Anatolia when he died Suleiman I the Magnificent had changed the Empire immensely. The sons of Suleiman, who ruled the Ottoman Empire who once were able to call each other brothers, now call each other traitors because each son was consumed by greed and an obsession for power now that their father is out of throne and only one may rise up to the hierarchy. They each had plans to skyrocket the empire in their own very different ways. And so no matter who became the next Sultan, despite making enemies every time the Ottomans had expanded, the Ottomans kept their empire well unified because they had a very robust army, and the Golden Age aided in legitimacy and loyalty towards Suleiman I.…

    Essay On The Ottoman Empire

    The Ottoman Empire is the Turkish and Islamic state that ruled from 1299-1922. It is one of the most important and powerful Muslim Empires. The founder of the Ottoman Empire is Osman I. At first it was only a tribe and consisted of little followers but in a very short time it grew into being an Empire. Great architectural, military, and administrative accomplishments have taken place in the Ottoman Empire. The reason that this was such an powerful and long lasting Empire was because of the Sultan was not the only one ruling and not the only one making decisions. The Empire was not run by the personal choices and wants of the Sultan. The Ottoman Sultans were greatly affected by the institutions that surrounded them. Some of them being the wazirs, qadis, Shaykh al-Islam, janissaries and the women of the harem. The Sultan was of course at the top of the hierarchy but he made decisions n accordance with the approval of…
