What role did the practice of devshirme play in the maintenance of a strong and loyal standing army?
The devshirme system was crucial for the Ottoman Empire's military strength, as it involved the recruitment of Christian boys, who were taken from their families, converted to Islam, and trained as elite soldiers known as Janissaries. This practice fostered loyalty to the Sultan, as the boys were raised in a strictly controlled environment that emphasized discipline and devotion to the state. By creating a loyal and highly skilled military class, the devshirme not only ensured a reliable standing army but also reinforced the social and political order within the empire. Ultimately, it allowed the Ottomans to maintain military dominance and control over their diverse territories.
