<span><span>The Safavid and Ottoman dynasties were both of Turkish ethnicity. The Safavid empire extended from the Caucasia ( Armenia, Azeribijan, etc.) to India, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and parts of central Asia and the Caspian Sea.The Ottoman empire, on the other hand, ruled the the rest of the Islamic empire (Middle East, Balkans, and North Africa). 

The Ottoman empire was older and stronger than the young Safavid empire, but the Ottomans were alarmed as the Safavid strength and influence grew and felt their interest was threatened. Moreover, the Safavid followed Shia Islam, while the Ottoman people were followers of Sunni/Sufi Islam. 

But the main reasons for the conflict are rather political than for sectarian religious factors as many try to force this idea of Sunni/Shia conflict. 

As the Safavid empire grew, it pushed its territories as far as Iraq and eastern Turkey, carving for itself a considerable chunk of Ottoman territory. This was the point when the Ottomans felt in danger and waged war on their cousins the Safavid.</span><span>

Answer:

There are both political and religious reasons behind the conflicts between the two empires.

Explanation:

Political Reasons:

Since the establishment of the Safavid dynasty in Persia (Iran) there were struggles between the two empires due to the following:

1. Trade Embargoes:

The Ottomans were consistently using trade embargoes against the Safavid Empire and were arresting the people crossing into their country which culminated into the Battle of Chaldiran (1514) followed by a century of border confrontation.

2. Border confrontation:

The Treaty of Zuhab, signed between the two empires recognised Iraq in Ottoman control, and partitioned Caucasus into two between the two empires.

Religious Reason:

One of the important reasons of the combative relationship is due to religion. While the Safavid's were the worshippers of Shia Islam, the Ottoman's were the followers of Sunni Islam.

After the signing of a peace treaty, Treaty of Erzurum (1847), peace was ensured between the two empires after centuries of rivalry.

Which of the following best explains why Clarence Saunders Keedoozle concept failed?
vladimir1956 [14]
It failed because either the change did not work well in many business settings, or it was inefficient (due to the inefficiency of the conveyer-belt system). A more accurate reason is that the circuits couldn't handle the traffic during peak hour. The customer's orders were regularly mixed up. The conveyer-belt system was not fast enough or efficient enough to handle it.

Does the Monroe doctrine represent a continuation or change in president washingtons foreign policy
Leni [432]
In general, the Monroe Doctrine represent a change in President Washington's foreign policy, since the Monroe Doctrine dictated that the US would treat any further attempts by Europeans to colonize the Americas as acts of aggression, and Washington was far more isolationist.

What experience taught Franklin Roosevelt the most about "resilience" and made
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: His paralysis from Polio

Explanation:

Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was diagnosed with Polio in 1921 and became unable to use any of his muscles from his chest downward. He tried everything he could in order to get better so that he may still claim his promising future as a politician.

When it became clear that he was not going to get better, he accepted it and found ways to adapt to it. The ways he adapted to this called for much resilience but he managed. This experience made him more compassionate because he could feel the struggle of daily life through his own challenges.
