Wikipedia can be a great help, for sure. And remember to use the external links (at the bottom of each Wikipedia page) for further information about the topic.
oh well thank you i found few answers in Wikipedia
For question 1, the correct answer is C. The statement that Ottoman support of the new Kurdish ruler gave them greater control over Asia Minor is not true. Ottoman expansion did not involve Kurdish seizure of Constantinople in 1521 or their support of a new Kurdish ruler.
For question 2, the correct answer is D. The statement that the government refused to allow any religion to be practiced in the empire except for Islam is not an accurate characterization of Ottoman governmental processes. The Ottoman Empire had a policy of religious tolerance and allowed the practice of other religions within the empire.
For question 3, the correct answer is D. The statement that Ottoman religious policy placed the members of each religious group under a patriarch or grand rabbi, who served in an intermediary capacity in governmental matters effecting his group is correct. Ottoman religious policy involved placing religious groups under the leadership of their respective patriarch or grand rabbi, who acted as intermediaries in governmental matters affecting their group.
To answer the first question:
The statements given are:
A. Their geographical location gave them a definite advantage for expansion.
B. After taking advantage of Byzantine weakness, they established a base at Gallipoli, and then allied with the Serbs and Bulgars to continue fighting the Byzantine Empire.
C. After the Kurdish seizure of Constantinople in 1521, Ottoman support of the new Kurdish ruler gave them greater control over Asia Minor.
D. As they established European settlements, Turkish beys replaced local landlords, and became the only recipients of taxes collected from the Slavic peasant population.
To figure out the correct answer, we would need to eliminate the options by confirming the statements that are true. By analyzing the statements:
Statement A is true as the Ottoman Empire's location in the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa did give them an advantage for expansion.
Statement B is also true as the Ottomans did establish a base at Gallipoli and entered alliances with various groups to continue their expansion.
Statement C is false because the Kurdish seizure of Constantinople did not happen, so Ottoman support of the new Kurdish ruler is not true.
Finally, Statement D is also true since the Ottomans did replace local landlords in their European settlements.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is C. After the Kurdish seizure of Constantinople in 1521, Ottoman support of the new Kurdish ruler gave them greater control over Asia Minor.
Now, moving on to the second question:
The statements given are:
A. Originally, Ottoman rule was dominated by tribal law and augmented by Muslim law.
B. The Ottoman Empire was influenced by Byzantine and Persian rule.
C. The sultan ruled from the Topkapi with the assistance of the Grand Vezirs, who were primarily the products of the devshirme process.
D. The government refused to allow any religion to be practiced in the empire except for Islam.
To find the incorrect statement, we need to analyze each one:
Statement A is true as tribal law and Muslim law did have an influence on Ottoman rule in the early years.
Statement B is also true as the Ottoman Empire was shaped by the influence of both Byzantine and Persian civilizations.
Statement C is true as the sultan did rule from the Topkapi Palace with the aid of the Grand Vezirs, many of whom were products of the devshirme system.
Statement D is incorrect. The Ottoman Empire was known for its relatively tolerant religious policies, allowing the practice of non-Muslim religions within certain restrictions.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. The government refused to allow any religion to be practiced in the empire except for Islam.
For the final question:
The statements given are:
A. Islamic law applied to everyone in the empire.
B. All Shi'ite Muslims were required to convert to Sunni Islam.
C. Ottoman religious policy was more tolerant of Hindu beliefs than the Mughal Dynasty.
D. Each religious group had a patriarch or grand rabbi to serve in an intermediary capacity in governmental matters.
To determine the incorrect statement, we can analyze each option:
Statement A is true as Islamic law did apply to everyone in the empire.
Statement B is false as the Ottomans did not require Shi'ite Muslims to convert to Sunni Islam. They practiced a form of Sunni Islam themselves.
Statement C is also false because the Ottomans did not show more tolerance towards Hindu beliefs than the Mughal Dynasty.
Statement D is true as the Ottoman Empire did have religious leaders, such as patriarchs and grand rabbis, who acted as intermediaries in governmental matters.
Hence, the correct answer is B. All Shi'ite Muslims were required to convert to Sunni Islam.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to approach and find the correct answers to these questions.
