Spanning for over six centuries between 1450 and 1750 across three continents with an array of cultures, religions, and ethnicities brought a challenge. Through its speedy rise to fame and the race to gain power involved many obstacles with so many different practices under one empire. The Ottomans acquired and maintained power through their expansion of trade routes. This allowed them to move to different areas and understand the beliefs and values of different cultures, which created good relationships between multiple countries. In addition, it expanded their understanding of economic investments.
The Ottoman Empire was founded by Turkish tribes and eventually grew to be one of the world’s most powerful empires. Like most empires starting out, the Ottoman Empire expanded heavily. The political, social, and economic structures were a mix of Byzantium and the Turkish empires in Central Asia. The Ottoman Empire had a monarchy government, where the Sultan was basically the government. The social and economic aspect of the Ottoman Empire was fairly good in that the people held a strong say in what the government did so the officials tended to the people and their opinions on taxes, laws, and military conquests.
The Ottoman Empire was tolerant of many religions and cultures. Although the government would have wanted everyone to practice the Islamic religion, due the size and the syncretic culture they realized that they could not force this idea on all citizens. To compromise they allowed dions to be practice such as Christianity and Judaism, as long as the people still paid the jizya taxes. In order to keep the government on the same page the “Ottoman provincial administration appeared to have been a highly efficient system, its severity mitigated by an elaborate set of checks and balances,” (“The Ottomans in West Asia” 6) Due to the large acceptance of the different cultures that Ottoman Empire expanded its territory to, the government was greatly influenced by the Turkish, Arabic, Persian and Greek Cultures. This form of tolerance with the combination of a strong and grounded government system helped the people of the Empire refrain from revolting, allowing the government to remain stable for
Nationalism, Imperialism, Militarism, and Alliances helped to not only begin World War 1, but also to propel it forward and fuel the fire that kept the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente, later referred to as the Allies and the Central Powers, in ongoing battles. Several events went down in order to , including demands Austria-Hungary made of Serbia, the steadily increasing prices of war, the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand, and many more. Nationalism was only one of the four main motives that helped World War 1 begin. The document reprinted from “The Origins of the First World War” by James Joll states, “Our whole race must stand together to halt the onslaught of these aliens from the North.” Colonel Dimtrevic was referring to
World War 1, gave the introduction to plastic surgery, chemical weapons, and technological advancement. Yet, it was devastating since it flickered the great war from a number of various reasons, mainly consisting of wrong judgment and personal interest. Resulting from WW1 was a number of casualties and catastrophes (such as the Treaty of Versailles) which makes us question, for those who were affected by it, If and how was this Great War possibly preventable in any way? European powers such as Germany, Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Turkey started causing disputes because of competition or undiplomatic actions that were performed by their national leaders based on interest. Fear spread throughout Europe and so did the drive
Nationalism causes world war 1 because created fierce competition between the European nations and it led to build in the military strength of Great Britain,France, and Russia. It was also because they were protecting their nations that they loved. And it caused the European nations to be overly confident that’s why the they were gathering raw material and markets so that they can achieve their pride . Nationalism led to imperialism by over sizing their empires and it led up to militarism by gathering a larger army .
WWI was one of the most influential wars on the world's history, it made and broke many of the countries that exist today. There were many unspoken causes that led up to WWI, the first one being Militarism. Another reason for war might have been the Alliances shared at that time between countries. Lastly, Imperialism was a big issue and could have impacted decisions for war. By far, Germany was prepared the most for war and had the money and resources to back it up.
European Imperialism Many of the conflicts in the Middle East today can be traced back to the social and political changes that occurred between 1800 and 1918. The division and struggle for national rights by the Kurds have been constant themes of recent Middle Eastern history. For most of their history, Kurds have been a part of the Persian and Ottoman empires and were a mostly nomadic people. However, the desire for a Kurdish homeland did not begin until the early 1900's.

The effects of imperialism was quite chaotic in the beginning causing an up rise from Africa and the Middle East. At first both resisted but over time western ways was making it’s way into a part of the daily routine. The imperialism started with Africa and eventually moved into the Middle East, but when it started in Africa it was for the natural resources the country possessed at the time. The Middle East was different due to the ruler at the time, Muhammad Ali was the ruler of Egypt and wanted to modernize Egypt the way he wanted to. He is sometimes known as “Father of Modern Egypt” although when he died they was not a leader that was as strong as he was to hold up his empire.
During his era the Ottoman Empire experienced spectacular economic growth and that lead up to the golden age of the Ottoman empire(Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. 1). This age was filled with knowledge and wisdom and the culture was mixed with different backgrounds of people and religion. Sultan Suleyman had a lot of nicknames and one of them is the lawmaker as Suleyman was the first sultan to create law and rules, before Suleyman other Sultans would follow the rules of the Holy Quran only, but Suleyman saw that creating new rules that are mixed with the sharia and it was called Kanun.

Ottoman Empire Summary The Ottoman Empire had been around for hundreds of years. However it began to weaken. The weakness was from the Ottomans struggle to modernize.
In the Early fourteenth century, Osmanli or Ottoman state was just one of the small states that resulted from disintegration of the Seljuq sultanate in Anatolia, the expansion of ottoman state continued gradually to contain former Byzantine territories in Anatolia and the Balkans, Constantinople -the capital of Eastern Christendom-, Mamluk empire-the most powerful Islamic state-, to reach by the sixteenth century central Europe from the west and Indian ocean from the east, this great expansion gave the Ottomans the status of a world power. In the arts, the Byzantine, Mamluk, and Persian traditions were integrated to form a distinctly Ottoman artistic vocabulary. Significant changes came about with the establishment of the new capital in former
The Ottoman Empire came into power in 1301. The Ottomans were able to overthrow the Seljuks and after that they were able to repopulate the city and stay in power until 1922. The Ottoman rulers implemented many systems that were more helpful than harmful and allowed them to have strong loyal citizens. These systems built up their empire in crucial places. The Ottoman Empire had a strong trade and military system with religious tolerance these factors allowed them to stay in power for so long.
One of the many reasons why the Ottoman culture became a well-organized empire was its social hierarchy system. The Ottoman social class had the commander on top (sultan) and the slaves on the bottom (rayyah) but however, a person’s social level could change anytime, unlike other caste systems in Japan or Britain where people stayed at the same level for the duration of their lives. The Sultan dealt with politics and state wealth. Under the Sultan were the wealthy leaders that defended the empire and ran the military and other offensive expansion
