An Ottoman soldier is commonly referred to as a "Janissary." The Janissaries were elite infantry units that formed the backbone of the Ottoman military from the 14th century until their disbandment in the 19th century. They were originally composed of Christian boys taken through the devshirme system, converted to Islam, and trained as soldiers. Over time, the Janissaries gained significant political power and influence within the empire.
