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.
