As the Ottomans had a huge land they normally spread their religion to there. They didn't force people to be Muslims directly however by getting more taxes from non-Muslims they indirectly forced people under their control to be Muslims. That is why there are some Muslim countries in Africa and in Europe (in Europe there was no prior county with a Muslim-majority population).

For example, Bosnians and Albanians were Christians; and most of them had converted to Islam; while the Greeks and Bulgarians are still Christians.

What was the relationship between the Ottoman Empire's power and the rise of European exploration?

The Ottoman Empire's power in the 15th and 16th centuries significantly influenced European exploration by controlling key trade routes between Europe and Asia, particularly through the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea. As the Ottomans expanded their territory, they monopolized access to valuable spices, silks, and other goods, prompting European nations to seek alternative routes to bypass Ottoman control. This need for new trade pathways fueled the Age of Discovery, leading to explorations by figures like Columbus and Vasco da Gama. Ultimately, the rise of European exploration was, in part, a response to the geopolitical and economic dynamics created by the Ottoman Empire's dominance.
