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 did John Adams do to make his term as president so bad?
I am Lyosha [343]
I think that it could be argued whether or not he was "bad" but he definitely wasn't the best. 

The biggest arguments for John Adams as a bad president:

1) He acted too much on his own beliefs and didn't go along with any party. Didn't go against Washington's wishes and enter war against France, which a lot of people disagreed with.

2) The Alien Acts made it easier to deport foreigners, and made it more difficult for immigrants to vote. The sedition acts were basically a form of censorship that prevented people from saying negative things about the government. 

3) He was not as religious as many other politicians at the time, and is famous for saying that the United States is not a Christian country. 

Basically, he did things based on his own beliefs and didn't go along with any one party. This caused both parties to hate him, and some could say that it led to the death of the Federalist party since they were without any real leader during this time.

How did ancient greek snd roman texts contribute to the rise of humanism in italy?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: I GOT YOU!

They introduced Italian scholars to academic fields that promoted individual growth and thinking.

The rise of humanism in Italy is associated with the period in history, from the 14th to 16th centuries, that we call "The Renaissance."  Renaissance means a rebirth -- and a big part of what was being reborn in the Italian Renaissance was the classical culture and scholarship of Greece and Rome.  Scholars were unearthing many of the old writings of Greek and Roman philosophers, historians, and statesmen.  These writings -- from pagan societies -- showed the deep thinking and great acts human beings were capable of prior to the rise of Christian society in Europe. This prompted humanist scholars in Italy (and elsewhere) to give focus to the full range of human capabilities -- in art, architecture, scholarship and writing, etc.  Renaissance humanists remained within the Catholic Church and Christian culture, which dominated Europe in those centuries.  But whereas  church-dominated culture prior to the Renaissance focused mostly on the sinfulness and lowness of human beings in contrast to the greatness of God, the humanism of the Renaissance emphasized the greatness of human beings as God's creation.  Individuals were encouraged to be all they could be, learn all they could learn, do all they could do as "Renaissance men."
