The Ottomans were strategic in employing slaves in their military and government as it allowed for a loyal and efficient administrative system. Known as the devshirme system, Christian boys were recruited, converted to Islam, and trained as elite soldiers (Janissaries) or bureaucrats, ensuring their loyalty to the Sultan. This practice not only provided the empire with skilled personnel but also helped integrate diverse populations into the Ottoman state. Ultimately, this system contributed to the empire's stability and success during its height.

He employed enslaved individuals, particularly the devshirme system, which recruited Christian boys to be trained as elite soldiers and bureaucrats, known as Janissaries. This system ensured loyalty and efficiency within the government, as these slaves were often granted significant power and status in exchange for their service.
