What were two privileges that Mehmed II extended to non-Muslims in the Ottoman Empire?

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though Constantinople and the surrounding lands were under the

control of a Muslim ruler, the people were allowed to practice their own

religions. The sultan Mehmed II even allowed the Orthodox Church to

operate and maintain its autonomy to accept Ottoman rule. Due to

Western states' conflict at the time, most of the Orthodox Christian

population welcomed Ottoman rule and protection.

The Ottoman Empire continued to expand in the fifteenth and sixteenth

centuries. Mehmed's grandson, Selim the Grim, defeated the Safavids,

Inc.

who had controlled Persia. He then moved east and went on to conquer

Syria and Palestine and marched to conquer North African lands.

Finally, Selim conquered Cairo in Egypt. The Ottoman Empire was at its

greatest extent under Selim's son, Suleyman. Suleyman expanded the

empire into Hungary and Austria and closed his grip on the

Mediterranean. At its height, the empire wrapped around the

Mediterranean Sea and grew to dominate trade throughout the region,

connecting Western Europe to Northern Africa and Central Asia. These

regions had significant river systems that benefited both agricultural

production and the transport of products. Interestingly, the Ottoman

Empire's control of trade between the West and the East motivated

Portugal to seek alternative trade routes, which eventually took them to

the Americas.

What elements of life are important to herodotus do

kherson [118]

Also known as the "Father of History". While many men are credited with "shaping" the story, one can be said to have "created" it. Herodotus developed the means by which we in the Western world can know and evaluate history and its most important moments. Born in Halicarnassus, Asia Minor, he played an important role in the revolution against tyrant Lydames. He later moved to Athens, where he began to systematically write down the history of his own time - particularly the wars between Greece and Persia - and the facts that preceded it. Although previous events had already been recorded, Herodotus is considered the "Father of History" because he was the first man to attempt an orderly and objective study of the interrelationships between historical events. Herodotus traveled to Egypt and traveled the Mediterranean, studying the cultures of these regions and recording the facts as faithfully as possible for the time. In theorizing about history, he applied the traditional Greek idea of moderation, or middle ground, that equilibrium is desirable, and excess and imbalance are the recipe for disaster. Because of this theory, the arrogant Xerxes I was inevitably doomed to defeat.
