  3. The Ottoman Empire

  4. Quote • “I, the sultan of sultans, and the strongest ruler, the loftiest king who defeats the kingdoms around the world, and the shadow of Allah in the Earth, am the son of Sultan Selim who is the son of Sultan Beyazid, Sultan Suleiman, Caesar of Rome, the sultan of Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, and Thrace, and Anatolia, and Karaman and the City of Dulkadir and Diyarbakir and Kurdistan, and Iran and Damascus and Aleppo and Egypt and Mecca and Medinah and Jerusalem and the whole Arab land and Yemen and many more lands that our lofty ancestors conquered with their crushing powers and I conquered with my fire-scattering sword.”

  5. Interpretation • I think this quote means that Suleiman thinks that he a strong ruler, who thinks very highly of himself, he thinks his empire can defeat any country that dares to try to go to war. He also believes that he is the shadow of the Muslim God Allah.

  6. Accomplishments Social: Suleiman performed many acts of kindness and mercy toward his people including freeing hundreds of slaves, bestowing his officers with gifts, and creating a school for slaves. Political: Suleiman strengthened his military with cannons, and expanded the number of warriors, and had many warships built. Economic: His empire was known for manuscript paintings, textiles, and ceramics. The reason he showed kindness towards his empire is because he had a cruel father who was known as Selim the Terrible, and wanted not to be like him, because his palace would be filled with music and art.
