The Armenians suffered a genocide in which 1.8 million Armenians were killed through barbaric acts of population cleansing. No other minority group in the Ottoman Empire suffered a hardship of similar degree. The Greek Orthodox were evicted in a mutual population transfer with Greece (the Greeks evicted their Turks as well), that resulted in thousands of deaths and the forcible uprooting of the Pontian and Smyrnan Greek Communities. Over 1.3 million Greeks were displaced.

What was the significance of the ottoman empire?

Trade was critical in the Ottoman Empire because the goal of the empire itself was expansionism. In order to reach this goal, the Ottoman government sought to attract resources for revenue. In order to do this, the government became tolerant of a broad spectrum of diversity in its inhabitants; thus paving the way for more people (and resources) to flourish within the empire. This tactic precipitated the growth and extension of the Ottoman Empire's power.


How did turkey become an independent nation?

The answer you are likely looking for is "the Ottoman Empire", but this is incorrect. Turkey was the dominant constituent entity of the Ottoman Empire and the only remaining part after the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations cut away all other parts of the empire.Turkey replaced the Ottoman Empire after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led a rebellion using the Ottoman army to overthrow the sultan and install himself as the first President of Turkey. He then rallied the remaining Ottoman army to his banner and ejected Greek, Bulgarian,Armenian, and Kurdish troops within the new Turkish borders. This war, which culminated with a signed treaty (Treaty of Lausanne) to have these enemies recognize the nascent Turkish Republic built on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, was popularly called the War of Turkish Independence. Ataturk removed many of the agencies and departments of the Ottoman Empire and the country underwent a restructuring, but the Ottoman Empire did not "grant" independence to Turkey; it became Turkey.


How the problems in the Ottoman Empire may have begun during the region of suleyman?

During the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire reached its zenith in terms of territorial expansion and cultural achievements, but underlying problems began to surface. The empire's vast size made administration increasingly difficult, leading to corruption and inefficiency within its bureaucratic system. Additionally, the strain of managing diverse populations and the rise of local governors (or beys) undermined central authority. These issues, compounded by military overreach and economic challenges, foreshadowed the difficulties the empire would face in later centuries.


Why was the ottoman empire so powerful?

Even though they were Turks, the Ottoman Empire never called themselves Turks. They opened the doors to whomever wanted to serve the empire. They gathered the smartest population for 600 years and ruled large portions of the world. Ottomans were not cruel towards the countries that they conquered. They did not make foreign people slaves or force them to be Muslims, although non-Muslims within the Empire paid additional taxes and were excluded from some activities. The Ottoman Empire was the best organized Turkish empire ever. Before the Ottomans, there were many Turkish states or empires; however, they were not as successful as the Ottomans.
