Question

Dr. Brekka explains that the 16th and 17th centuries were a period of ottoman decline and eventual extinction. True or False

Answer 1

Answer:

This is FALSE

Explanation:

Dr. Brekka explains that the 16th and 17th centuries were a period of ottoman decline and eventual extinction. This sentence is false. She didn't say this.

An important factor in the decline was the increasing lack of ability and power of the grand vizier's authority included the right to demand and obtain absolute obedience.

The mid-16th century also saw the triumph of the devşirme over the Turkish difficult problems that plagued the empire in the 16th and 17th centuries.
