A major reason Irish inmigrants came to the United States in the 1840s was to escape a potato famine.

The <u>Great Famine</u> caused by a <u>potato blight</u> forced thousands of  Irish peasants to leave their homes and <u>flee</u>, mostly, to North America. Those Irish citizens had no skills or special education, unlike the earlier migration, so they did not want to find jobs as skilled laborers. They just wanted to find a better life.

What were two privileges that mehmed ii extended to non Muslims in the Ottoman Empire
guapka [62]

Answer:

The two privileges that Sultan Mehmed II extended to the non-Muslims in the Ottoman Empire was the freedom to practice and follow their respective religions without persecution and the freedom to 'govern' themselves through their 'leaders' under the instituted "millet" system.

Explanation:

Sultan Mehmed II ruled over the Ottoman Empire from 1451 to 1481, during which he made several reforms that helped in his peaceful and successful rule. One such factor was the rights of non-Muslims who were accepted as part of the empire and not persecuted.

Two privileges that the sultan made accessible to the non-believers were that he allowed religious freedom. Non-Muslim religious practices were allowed, and the believers are given the freedom to follow, practice, and celebrate their festivals without being persecuted. Moreover, he also made leaders from these religious groups and ruled them through these leaders instead of him directly involved with the people. This means that he gave them self-governing bodies without the sultan's direct involvement, and in cases of necessities, he communicated with these selected leaders.
