Mughal Empire
The empire laid by Akbar was eroded without a new basis for its administrations because Aurangzeb could not manage the empire because he lacked trustworthy men. Aurangzeb treated the Hindus harsh, spent too much money on his military campaigns, and reversed the liberal religious policies of Akbar.
Akbar developed the Din because he didn’t believe that there was just one true religion but believed that Hindu and Muslim should be joined together to form one perfect religion. Other theologians did not agree with him and tried to show him how there were practices in all regions.
Ottoman Empire
Suleiman deserves his status as a great legal reformer an administrator because he changed the Ottoman legal system and established legislative changes involving society, education, taxation, and criminal law.
The European visitor indicated that the wife of Suleiman was a formidable intelligence gatherer for her husband by showering her with lavish gifts and escorting her with slaves, and providing fine dining all while asking her information about her country and religion.
The origin and impact of the career of Roxelana in the Ottoman Court.
Recruitment of troops of non- Muslim people was considered a good idea because the Ottomans were the first to have an army which gave them advantage over Europeans countries. They replaced the feudal ghazi army with professional soldiers who were loyal only to the sultan. They had different corps like road engineering, and corps to make bread. These revolutions made them an intimidating force in Europe for a long time.
The Janissaries became more than just a mere military institution because of their terroristic demeanor and approach. People were afraid of them and they were able to dominate the government.
Lady Montagu was impressed with the Ottoman society and she thought she was above the European customs. As far as Western doctors, she thought they were

    Tension between the Sultanate and the Janissaries sparked a Janissary revolt in Serbia in 1805. Serbian peasants helped to defeat the Janissary uprising and went on to make Serbia independent of the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Mahmud II believed that the loss of Greece indicated a profound weakness in Ottoman military and financial organization. Mahmud used popular outrage over the loss of Greece to justify a series of reforms that included the creation of a new army corps, elimination of the Janissaries, and reduction of the political power of the religious elite. Mahmud’s secularizing reform program was further articulated in the Tanzimat (reorganization) reforms initiated by his successor Abdul Mejid in 1839.…

    By the end of the timeframe the Tanzimat reformers have made a significant effort from 1830-1870 to implement Enlightenment ideologies within Ottoman politics. Religious views and practices were not left out of these reforms; in fact one of their decrees specifically safeguarded the rights of all subject people (including non-Muslims) by guaranteeing public trials, rights of privacy and equality before the law. Yet matters of marriage and divorce still fell under the religious discretion. These reforms worked to undermine the Ulama, who controlled religious education. The expansion of rights to Jews AND Christians was not one of the later missions of the Young Turks, who were most interested in a constitution for a new secular Turkey. Religious tensions did exist though within Bulgaria between the Turks (Muslims) and Christians which did result in genocides during the 1880’s.…

    The Mughal and Safavid had Islam, the base of military conquest and a centralized government as similarities. In the time of their reign, Islam was of great power in the world. The development and introduction of gun powder helped these empires expand and strive. Islam played a big role in the management of their political systems, for example, women’s rights would be affected by the strict rule of Muslim religion. Being based on military conquest was beneficial to Islam, expanding Islam and influencing a wide range of people; bringing many of the tribal religions under one rule, expanding the political strength of the Safavid and Mughal empires. Having a centralized government meant that one person made all the decisions; this could be beneficial or could destroy an empire. For example, the person who’s making all the decisions could be biased and choose something that they believe is right, not including the views of the people.…

As the source states “…to the Turkish territories, where they knew that, besides the payment of the tenths, they would be subject to no imposts or vexations.

    Between the years of 1500 and 1750, the seclusion laws of Japan were a major turning point in terms of contact with other states in social and political ways. Although Japan remained in contact with the Dutch which was their only contact with Europe, nevertheless this became successful for them in terms of wanting to be a state that was independent of European culture. For example starting in the year 1635, as Japan grew increasingly xenophobic in order to end the spread of Christianity, they closed all ports and connections to Europe and the New World. This was with the exception of only one port open called Nagasaki in order to maintain trade with the Dutch. This way, they could still stay up-to-date with limited contact with the European technologies and knowledge through books. This was a social and political turning point because it limited Japan’s contact with European culture and…

    The inscription of Suleyman reveals that the Ottoman Empire was a Muslim community. However, not only did this inscription inform readers that religion was existent within this empire during this period of time, but it also reveals a clear distinction of social status amongst this community. It is evident that Suleyman was a rather significant figure within society due to the fact that he is described within the inscription as the 'head of Muhammad's community.' (Stearns, Peter N., Stephen S. Gosch, and Erwin P. Grieshaber., 2003, pp.60) The source provides an outlook on the society at this period in time.…

    The elite janissary force was very important to the Ottoman empire in being very cheap, extremely powerful, and multi dimensional. Starting as slaves from the devsirme system, most of the time with absolutely zero military or fighting experience. They were the sultan's elite infantry and private guards. The janissaries were very cheap to recruit seeing as they were slaves, all the turks needed to was groom them until they were fighting machines. Not only were the janissaries cheap to recruit but they were also extremely powerful in war, the most powerful in the Ottoman army. With power comes importance and the janissaries were a crucial piece in the army with the power to even overthrow the sultan. The janissaries were a necessity, being the…

    The reason behind the vast numbers of the armies are the inhabitants of the civilisations and the land they conquered. Generally, men, lower on the hierarchy, were forced to join the army. Sometimes men had a choice, and there were times where this enrollment, forceful or not, didn’t happen because there was no war or social uprisings.
