Week 1

The Ottoman Empire was one of the strongest states in military and wealth during the 17th century. As the years went on the Ottoman Empire refused to modernize falling them to fall behind in technology which hurt them. During their decline their population rose and further brought down their culture because without modernizing they had nothing new to offer the people and left them vulnerable to attack. With the population rising the Ottomans needed to produce more food and jobs for the people but, were unsuccessful in doing so which caused their empire to crumble.
Religion has a huge affect on the Middle Eastern politics and society. This is because religion is a huge part in these people’s lives and everything is based off their religion. Without religion these people would be very different and would have very different views on the world. With religion being such a huge part in these peoples lives it left the women out to do nothing big in their society.
