Answer:

hey asthon!

Explanation:

The Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful and lasting dynasties in world history.  

This Islamic-led superpower ruled large areas of the Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa for more than 600 years.  

The main leader, known as the Sultan, received absolute religious and political authority over his people.  

While Western Europeans generally viewed them as a threat, many historians consider the Ottoman Empire a source of great stability and regional security, as well as important achievements in the arts, science, religion and culture.

Origins of the Ottoman Empire

Osman I, a leader of the Turkish tribes in Anatolia, founded the Ottoman Empire around 1299. The term “Ottoman” is derived from Osman’s name, which was “Uthman” in Arabic.

The Ottoman Turks set up a formal government and expanded their territory under the leadership of Osman I, Orhan, Murad I and Bayezid I.

In 1453, Mehmed II the Conqueror led the Ottoman Turks in seizing the ancient city of Constantinople, the Byzantine Empire’s capital. This put an end to 1,000-year reign of the Byzantine Empire.

Sultan Mehmed renamed the city Istanbul, meaning “the city of Islam” and made it the new capital of the Ottoman Empire. Istanbul became a dominant international center of trade and culture.

Mehmed died in 1481. His oldest son, Bayezid II, became the new Sultan.

The Ottoman Empire reached its peak between 1520 and 1566, during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent.  

This period was marked by great power, stability and wealth.

At the start of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was already in decline.  

The Ottoman Turks entered the war in 1914 on the side of the Central Powers (including Germany and Austria-Hungary) and were defeated in 1918.

Under a treaty agreement, most Ottoman territories were divided between Britain, France, Greece and Russia.

The Ottoman empire officially ended in 1922 when the title of Ottoman Sultan was eliminated. Turkey was declared a republic in 1923.

What was a result of widespread anti-Semitism in Europe in the late 1800s?
marishachu [46]

Answer:  The Zionist movement began and led to the settlement and creation of modern Israel.

Details:

Anti-Semitism was strong in Europe already in the Middle Ages, when Jews were accused of such things as spreading the plague by poisoning wells, or using the blood of murdered Christians to make the matzah for their Passover rituals.  The term "anti-Semitism" as a description for hostile opposition to the Jewish people was first used by Wilhelm Marr in 1879 in Germany.  Marr supported campaigns against Jews and began using the term "anti-Semitism" as a euphemism for what better might have been called "Jew-hating."

The main Zionist movement was largely secular in nature, focused on establishing a homeland for anyone of Jewish ethnicity.   Theodore Herzl is typically credited with getting the secular Zionist movement started with his book,  <em>Der Judenstaat </em>("The Jews' State), published in 1896.  Herzl also led in the founding of the World Zionist Organization, established by the First World Zionist Congress held in Switzerland in 1897.    Convinced that the Jews would never truly be welcomed or assimilated within the countries of Europe, Herzl argued for establishment of their own homeland somewhere. Eventually that "somewhere" became a movement focused on going back to the ancestral land of Israel.

The declaration complains that women are deprived of
maks197457 [2]

I don't know what declaration you're talking about, but women would complain that they're deprived of rights to work, their rights as citizens, etc. They would work hard to get the rights they felt they were deprived of and deserved.
