Social Hierarchy and Views of Human Nature Within Society
By: John McInnes
There are four rankings of class that you can be placed in in the ottoman empire (shown below). The Men of the pen are the men who have good paying jobs, such as, scientists, lawyers etc.: and they are the people with actual class. The Men of the Sword are the men who fight for the empire. They are soldiers in the army. The Men of Negotiation are the merchants and tax collectors. Finally, the Men of Husbandry, these men are the ones who do the farming and the herding.
If you weren’t labeled in one of these, you must have either been a woman or a slave. Slaves were very important in the Ottoman Empire. In the mid- 1400s Murad built a slave army A.K.A Kapikulu. A slave might also be called a “Kul” slaves we traded for good in markets called “Esir” or “Yesir”. The first slave marked was created by Sultan Mehmed II in Constantinople around the 1460s.
Hierarchy of Government
The Sultan is the leader or ruler and the government is broken into states. Then the professional ottomans are the state leaders who work for the government. These people who worked for the government were strictly separated from those in the other classes. The next class was the professionals such as merchants, tradesmen, guild members etc. below everybody was the peasants. The people who did not work for the government were considered Reaya.

The fall of the empire
Luke Kapala
The fall of the Ottoman Empire was caused by a chain of events that started with the failure of the siege of Vienna. Suleiman the Magnificent led the campaign, but because of heavy rains that bogged down cannons, and the ferocity of the resistance, he gave up. Although Ottoman expansion would not completely stop, it ended their conquest in Europe, and started a decline in the strength of their army. On top of that, a combined Spanish and Italian fleet defeated the Ottomans at Lepanto, ending their dominance at sea.
This marked the beginning of events that would lead to the fall of the empire. Many conservative views arose in the empire, both religiously and politically. Most leaders after Suleiman were ineffective in leading the empire, mainly due to the decline of the Sultanate. The Sultanate was an institution where the Sultan would choose his successor from his sons, but after Suleiman, many Sultans chosen couldn’t lead well. Because of this, many Sultans were revolted against, and even assassinated by the Janissaries, who received an increase in power. This gradual decline would last over 300 years.
European imperialists seen the decline in the Ottoman Empire, and sought to take their land, for geophysical reasons, such as new ports, and oil that was found in Persia. However, the Ottomans allied themselves and won with Britain and France against Russia, who wanted the Ottomans land for themselves.
While many countries were modernizing in the post 1800s, the Ottoman Empire did not. Egypt, who was 450 million dollars in debt, went to European bankers. Britain soon occupied Egypt, and claimed the Suez Canal. The Ottomans were quickly losing money, so they sold their resourcing rights to Europe, such as their oil and tobacco.
World War 1 broke out in 1914, with Russia, Britain, and France against Germany and Austria. The Ottomans sided with Germany, because they had won earlier battles and the Ottomans owed money to Russia and Britain. When World War 1 was over and the Allied Powers won, the Ottoman Empire finally fell, with Britain and France taking their land. Interestingly, the Sykes Picot agreement was made between Britain and France, with the assent of Russia, in May of 1916 during the war for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire.
