As the slave market diminished, the Ottoman Empire faced a shortage of manpower for its military forces, which traditionally relied on enslaved soldiers known as Janissaries. To address this issue, the Sultan turned to conscription, drafting free citizens into his personal army. This shift marked a significant change in military recruitment practices, as the empire sought to maintain its power and military effectiveness in the face of declining slave availability. Ultimately, this transition reflected broader socio-economic changes within the empire and the evolving nature of warfare.
