He turned Constantinople into the capital of the Ottoman Empire and renamed it Istanbul. For the next several hundred years the Ottoman Empire would be one of the largest and most powerful empires in the world. When Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire, a large number of scholars and artists fled to Italy. This helped to spark the European Renaissance. It also caused the European nations to begin to search for new trade routes to the Far East, beginning the Age of Exploration. Suleiman the Magnificent The Ottoman Empire reached its peak during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. He ruled from 1520 to 1566. During this time the empire expanded and included much of Eastern Europe including Greece and Hungary.Religion Religion played an important role in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans themselves were Muslims, however they did not force the peoples they conquered to convert. They allowed for Christians and Jews to worship without persecution. This kept the people they conquered from rebelling and allowed them to rule for so many years. TradeThe Ottoman Empire (1300–1918) was an important conduit of trade throughout its history because it straddled Europe and Asia, but its largest volume of trade was not international but domestic. The Ottoman Empire endured as long as it did because of its stable agrarian economy. Interesting Facts about the Ottoman Empire The Sultan and his many wives lived in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. The Sultan would move to a different room in the palace every night because he was scared of being assassinated. Suleiman the Magnificent was considered the earthly leader of all Muslims. He was called "The Lawgiver" by the Ottomans. The Republic of Turkey was founded by revolutionary Kemal Ataturk. The elite battle troops of the Sultan were called Janissaries. These soldiers were selected from Christian families at a young age. They were considered slaves but were treated well and paid a regular salary. The Tulip period was a time of peace when the arts flourished in the Ottoman Empire. Tulips were considered a symbol of perfection and beauty.THE MUGHAL EMPIRE The Mughal (or Mogul) Empire was founded by Babur in 1526. Under Akbar the Great, it grew considerably, and continued to grow until the end of Aurangzeb's rule. After Aurangzeb died in 1707, the empire started a slow and steady decline, although it maintained some power for another 150 years. They were finally defeated by the British Empire in 1857.ReligionThe Mughal Empire was Islamic, although many of the subjects of the Empire, up to and including very high-ranking members of the court, were Hindu. When Babur first founded the Empire, he did not emphasize his religion, but rather his Turkic heritage. (The name Mughal, seems to have been attached somewhere in the 19th Century. It is derived from Mongol, another piece of Babur's ancestry.) Under Akbar, the court dropped use of the jizya, the tax on non-Muslims, and dropped use of the lunar Muslim calendar in favor of a solar calendar, more useful for agriculture. Political EconomyThe Mughals used the mansabdar system to collect taxes from land owned by people. The emperor would grant revenue rights to a mansabdar in exchange for promises of soldiers in war-time. The greater the size of the land the emperor granted, the greater the number of soldiers the mansabdar had to promise. TradeMughals were trading a large variety of goods. The foods they were trading were rice, sugar, and oil, and materials were cotton and indigo. They were trading in Asia, but they used ships to carry them. The most important one was the textiles.
