The Positive And Negative Effects Of The Ottoman Empire And The Black Death

From the mid thirteenth century to the mid fourteenth century the Mongols were on top of the world, yet just as quick as they came, they left. Under Genghis Khan’s rule, and after him his descendants’, the Mongols conquered an enormous part of Eurasia. Along with the conquering came torture, trade, and many other things, be they good or bad. Furthermore, while the Mongols may have destroyed lives, they also saved them. The Mongols legacy has been assessed in a multitude of ways, but the best way is to judge them about a combination of the people that were massacred, and the progress they achieved for civilization as a whole, for if either of these parts are left out, then it is not the true legacy that is being judged.

In conclusion, this is was only a few of the negative impacts the Mongol empire had on themselves and others around the world. The Bubonic plague, the spread of disease and the burning of books were just the main choice I have selected. Now do you see? They were not much of positive impact more than the negative. The Mongol Empire had a negative impact after

On the Political side, the Ottoman Turks were the best at keeping up control for a more extended time. It could get by to the point that advanced circumstances. The two different realms crumbled by the seventeenth century. The pioneer of the Ottoman Turks was known as the Sultan which was like a ruler. Islamic Law was connected to all Muslims. With respect to Safavid realm politically, the Shahs strolled around the boulevards in mask keeping in mind the end goal to discover the genuineness of the nationals. The high positions were given by justifying and regularly were nonnatives. In the Mughal Empire politically, Even,

The Mongol Empire, an infamous empire in due to its oppressively powerful army, had an unavoidable influence on Eurasia including both positive effects, such as advancing trade and production of goods in less advanced societies (doc 5) as well as laying a powerful and protective influence on a number of societies (doc 2), and negative effects, being savagely murderous towards those societies in their path (doc 1), destroying important structures and cities of other societies (doc 7), and aggressively demanding a tribute be paid to them from Christian societies and others (doc 9), as well as effects that are considered neither negative nor positive effects, examples being that the Khan leader did not convert to Christianity when confronted

The world began to drastically change before the year fifteen hundred. These changes not only reshaped the world, but continued to change and develop from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Among these changes came the formation of many outstanding empires that included the Ottoman and Safavid Empires. The Ottoman and Safavid Empires account for two of the three Islamic Empires that underwent change and development during these centuries. Both empires had a ruler at the head of the empire; a sultan ruled the Ottoman Empire while a shah ruled the Safavid Empire. Two great rulers emerged from these empires; a sultan named Suleiman the Magnificent ruler of the Ottoman Empire and a shah named Abbas the Great ruler of the Safavid Empire.

Throughout the Mongol’s many conquests, it is obvious the great amount of destruction and violence taken upon on these. As explained

Two of the areas that were impacted by the mongols were Europe and Muslim areas. The Mongols taught new ways of making war and taught the importances of gunpowder. Most importantly Mongol conquests facilitated trade between the civilizations, making possible the exchange of foods, tools, and ideas. This brought great wealth to traders.(doc 2) The Mongols changed how Europeans viewed the world; they were exposed to different cultures, beliefs, values, attitudes, and institutions (doc 3)

The Ottoman Empire was a military power, and demonstrated that they were a force to be reckoned with. Their successful conquering of Rome, Byzantium solidified their standing as a world power in 1453. The Ottoman Empire held to strict religious beliefs and practiced a form of Islam called Sunnism. Additionally, the Ottoman Empire made use of a system where the leaders in power also controlled the leaders of the church. The system was called casesaro-papism.

In this week’s chapter, it discusses a lot about the rise and fall of the Ottoman and Safavid Empires. In many dynasties, it is critically important to have a well balanced society and economy. Anderson displays many of the reasons why these two empires were so great during their time, but evidently loss of power and control of government can be a major turning point and, eventually, led to the decline of these empires. This specific chapter focus on the systems of governance that was established in each empire.

In the early 13th Century an impressive and terrifying force was spreading over half the known world. Atop the backs of horses the Mongols brought down large empires with their military conquest and innovative conquest. The Mongolians started their empire as a collection of nomadic tribes struggling for supremacy. Little did they know but major kingdoms across the world were about to experience a dark age. Over the course of the Mongolian conquest the innovation in war, commerce, and diplomatic circles would change the world forever. China, Western Europe, Russia, and the Middle East were all targets for the Mongolian Empire during their short time as an almost unstoppable force. Following great leaders ranging from Chinggis, Kublai, and Ogedei the story of the Mongolian empire is one of conquest and supremacy. The Mongolian Empire was an important culture that changed the face of the world.

Timur who called himself ‘the sword of Islam’ put a large number of people to the sword and erected pyramids of human skulls after the battles as a way of celebrating his victories. Under their savagery (both the Mongols and the Tatars), the flourishing lands changed into deserts, the villages and towns were burnt. Men, women and children were murdered and even the animals and the plants didn’t survive. They made great havoc. Obviously, fear, murder, war and bloodshed were the spirits of the time. Accordingly, the nihilistic stroke of both Mongoloid waves was very severe and huge; however, generally speaking, they didn’t have great impacts on people’s ideology at that time since not many people remain alive and the captives or, better to say, the slaves who survived the massacre were used as the scapegoat in the battlefield and were placed in the first line of the army as the first line of defense. They sometimes used them as the cements for the bridges or for filling the moats or trenches; if the captives were artisans or craftsmen, they were sent back to Mongolia or other areas that the usurpers wished, not to mention, there were people who survived by hiding themselves in secret places.And if there was a nihilistic impact,it mainly ended in the rejection of worldly things by resorting to the religious groups like the Sufis,in committing suicide and death,or in joining to the usurpers' army. The Sufis and Tasawwuf and their role in pushubg the nihilism away will be discussed in the next

The Ottoman empire reached its peak during the !6th century and slowly began its descend. By the 19th century, the empire was riddled with incompetent rulers which allowed for power struggles within. Rival ministers, religious experts, and the commanders of the Janissary corps competed, further eroding effective leadership. There was no control over the vast resources and great population of the empire. The Provincial officers and the landowning class, ayan, took the opportunity to control taxes, and skimmed revenues. The corruption of the bureaucracy depleted the resources need to maintain a large land empire. Additionally, the artisans could not keep up with imported manufactured goods from Europe. This led to artisan riots with guild members

The rise of the Ottoman Empire started in Turkey and spread through most of the Middle East. Their military practice and successful transition to the use of gun powder made them one of the most successful ruling bodies in the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire which ruled until modern times had great influence on the Middle Eastern world. Their political and economic abilities astonished the western world. Their religious views and fears were instilled into any non-Muslim and helped the western world to find new trade. The rise of Christianity in the western world provided new ways to preserve the dead and ended the need for frankensence, the main export of the Ottoman Empire. This

From deep within the mountains of Central Asia, a group of nomads arose who would one day rule over half of the Islamic world. Though the tribes separated, all three of the greatest empires to grace the Islamic world began with Turkic roots. Over the years they developed into distinct cultures of their own, with unique religious interpretations and ideas of leadership. Each founding emperor had a different claim to leadership. The Ottomans of Anatolia relied on their military success, especially the unlikely victory against the Byzantines. The Safavids of Iran relied on religion to legitimate their rule. Specifically, their eclectic mixture of Sufism and Shi’ism and their position as Sufi pirs (spiritual masters). The Mughals of South Asia depended upon their standing as the descendants of the great Timurid dynasty.

Similarly the social integration of pre-Islamic shapes our understanding of Islam. The notion of social integration developed within the Byzantine and Sassanic period (Hoyland, 2001). The Sassanic dynasty influenced the Islamic administrative system, it was also the aftermath of the competition dwelling between the two dynasties (Hoyland, 2001). Although these dynasties were competitive they shared a common values such as being imperialists and harmony (Hoyland, 2001). The imperial commercial network meant that the leaders had to negotiate and political rapports were created with the empires and harmony prevailed.
