What was the Janissary system?
This is very brief- however- The Janissary system was founded on the recruitment of young, able boys from Christian families who were educated and later converted to Islam and integrated into Ottoman society by living with select Turkish families for a brief time and being further training and education in the barracks. They became a strong influence upon the governing body (Sultanate) and were very effective in battle, as well as making their displeasure at home known- there are historical accounts of the Janissary corp turning over their cooking kettles to express displeasure to the Sultan.
