| | Ottoman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For centuries, the Ottoman Empire was often as a refuge for the Jews of Europe, who were often persecuted or expelled from the countries of Christian Europe (see History of the Jews in Turkey). | | | The Ottoman state revolutionized the system with the aid and experience of Christians, and Jews, while other states were holding on to their religion and national identity. | | | Ottoman nucleus gave precedence on political ideas that constituted the life of the empire, which will be their ruling instution. |

| | Ottoman sultans rested on their laurels, focused on maintaining and enjoying the gains already made, and failed to notice the threat of European sea dominance and economic wealth/control until it was too late. | | | Recognize, the Ottoman Empire might have failed to jump into the "globalizing" race, and did allow the advantage at sea to be seized by West Europe. | | | For centuries, their navies, and thus their merchant fleets, had clear dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea trade, the Black Sea and in the Indian Ocean. |

| | Decline of Islamaic and Ottoman Power |
| | The Ottoman Turks had been watching the retreat of Islam to their north, Kazan, where the Russians were pushing against the Tatars. | | | In the 1600s the Ottoman historian, Haji Khalifa (1608-1657), saw Ottoman society resting on four pillars: the mullahs (Islamic clerics) the army, the merchants and the farmers, and he saw Ottoman society as sick because of corruption, high taxation and oppression of the masses. | | | The government raised money also by the sale of offices to the highest bidder, in part so the sultan and an elite could continue to live in the luxury to which they were accustomed. |

| | Ottoman rule for five centuries suppressed development and opportunity for Christians and Jews; Muslims had the privileged position. | | | Ottoman regional dominance, and European attempts to avoid that economic control, were the catalysts for European sea dominance, colonization, Western "discovery" of the American continent and the further increase of global interactions!! | | | A primary consequence of Ottoman expansion was that in the Balkans and territories around the Caspian Sea, Islam took root. |

| | Ottoman Iraq was roughly approximate to the Arabian Iraq of the preceding era, but without clearly defined borders. | | | This trend was reversed in the 19th century when administrative centralization and reorganization, undertaken by the Ottoman government as part of a comprehensive reform and modernization program, were extended to Iraq. | | | Nevertheless, bearing in mind the destruction, chaos, and fragmentation that had beset the region in the preceding centuries, the expansion of the vast Ottoman political and economic sphere to include Iraq brought with it certain advantages. |

| | Against the Ottomans alone, the Greeks could well have been successful, but the Sultan called in Muh.ammad 'Alî, who had modernized the Eyptian army enough that the rebellion was being suppressed. | | | To a considerable extent he succeeded, though Turkey is still haunted by the shadow of the military dictatorship that he himself represented, by the threat of militant Islâm, whose mediaevalism is fully triumphant in neighboring Irân, and by the disaffection of the Kurds, whose very existence was legally denied for many years. | | | Nevertheless, Britain could not allow too much oppression of subject Christians, and as the century wore on, small Christian states, from Serbia to Greece to Bulgaria, were allowed autonomy and then independence by the agreement of the Great Powers. |
