The Ottoman-Safavid War, particularly the most notable conflict from 1623 to 1639, ended in a stalemate, with the Treaty of Kasr-i Sharif being signed in 1639.

What was the role of women in the Ottoman Empire.?
Ottoman Apologist Answer
In Ottoman Empire, women were cared for so much. Maybe you heard like women didn't go out because it was banned for women. No it wasn't like that completely. In 1800s and 1900s until 1930s women in big cities wore veil etc. I said "BIG CITIES" not in other small cities or villages.
Also men wasn't treating women badly and women weren't doing anything except sitting at home. No, women had special places called "Şırahane"-as far as I remember where they sat and spent their time with each other.
Ottoman Critical Answer
As the above answer demonstrates, a woman's place in the Ottoman Empire was to manage the household and to socialize in women's only places like Şırahane. Women in the Ottoman Era did not have the right to work in a profession, the right to freely marry and divorce (or remain single indefinitely), and did not have the right of movement. The fact that it was less repressive than other Islamic Societies is little comfort to Ottoman Women. Especially in the late 1800s and early 1900s, women in Western Europe and Anglo-America had more rights.

Answer 1
"Millet", meaning "nation" in Turkish, defines the ideology of Ottoman Empire and today's Turkey. Anatolian Peninsula has been a hometown to people who have different religious opinions and who are of different nationalities. In order to keep them all together, Ottoman Empire came up with the idea of "millet". This ideology makes different people that live together become a whole and one nation just because they live on the same land no matter how different they are than each other.
Answer 2
Non-Muslims who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens. They lacked a number of fundamental rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of settlement, access to all occupations, and additional taxation because they were Non-Muslim. Each Dhimmi group, like the Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and so forth were organized into Millets which were community representative groups. Each Millet would report to a centralized Millet representative in Istanbul who would have direct dealing with the Imperial Palace. This would allow the Millets to air their grievances, but was more often used as a method to control the Millets and make them less resistive to Ottoman Occupation.
Admittedly, life under the Ottomans was far superior to most contemporaneous Empires. Spain was by far a more religiously and culturally intolerant place during this period as were France and England.
Finally, the Ottomans' most egregious crime against the Christian Millets was the policy of devşirme, where Christian families in the Balkans region had to submit to Ottoman soldiers stealing their children to bring to them to Istanbul where they would have no contact with their parents for years and be trained to be the elite Janissary Core and be converted to Islam. No Muslim-born Ottoman was even allowed to join the Janissaries, because the devşirme system was so effective in producing recruits loyal only to the Emperor because they feared him.
