6. Read the following document and answer the questions:

“…Their [Ottoman] aim was not merely political and military. For centuries Constantinople wasthe largest metropolis in the known world, the impregnable [unconquerable] core of a great[Byzantine] empire, served by a deep-water port that gave access to the sea. Known as NewRome and the Queen City, it had been built to impress, its magnificent public monuments,decorated with statuary set in an elegant classical urban landscape. Its apparent invincibility andfamous reputation made it a great prize. The city was also reputed to be hugely wealthy. Whilethe [Ottoman] Turks had no interest in its famous collection of Christian relics, the fact thatmany were made of solid gold and silver, decorated with huge gems and ancient cameos, was ofimportance. Their existence added weight to the rumour that Constantinople contained vaststores of gold, a claim which cannot have been true by 1453. By the early fifteenth century thecity had lost all its provinces to Turkish occupation and was totally isolated. The surviving Greekterritories of Trebizond and the Morea were similarly surrounded and made no effort to assistthe ancient capital.…”a. According to Judith Herrin, what was one reason the Ottoman were interested in

conquering the Byzantine capital of Constantinople?________________________________________________________________________

“…The impact of [Ottoman] Turkish rule upon all sectors of Balkan society was profound. Mostof its aristocracy were killed though a minority was absorbed into the ruling class when, inkeeping with Ottoman practice, the sultan took over their lands. In contrast, the peasantry, whoworked the land, paid most of the taxes and were liable for military service, were treated muchbetter than before. They were protected by the new landlords and had their feudal servicesabolished. Apart from the frontier regions, most of the Balkans were spared that cultural andreligious destruction usually associated with armies of occupation. Christians, thoughencouraged to convert to Islam, were allowed religious toleration and mixed marriages, and thecomparative freedom and contentment enjoyed by its people is one of the most importantexplanations why the Balkans remained under Ottoman rule for over 400 years.…”Source: Geoffrey Woodward, “The Ottomans in Europe,” History Review, March 2001

Early Safavid Empire (1450-1750 approx)

Document 1: Father Paul Simon, missionary to the Safavid court of Shah Abbas the Great in the city of Isfahan, his report to Pope Clement VIII, 1605

“He is very valiant and has a great liking for warfare and weapons of war, which he has constantly in his hands; we have been eye-witnesses of this because, whenever we were with him, he was adjusting his [swords], testing his [muskets], etcs. . . This is the great experience, which he has obtained of warfare over so many years, that he makes it in person and from the first has made him a fine soldier and very skilled, and his men so dexterous that they are little behind our men in Europe. He has introduced into his militia the use of and esteem for [muskets], in which they are very practiced. Therefore it is that his realm has been so much extended on all sides . . . All the above mentioned soldiers, who will total some 100,000, receive pay for the whole year.”

1. What does this passage tell us about the founder of the Safavid Empire, Shah Abbas?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sir John Malcolm, British ambassador to the Safavid Court of the Shahs Safi and Abbas II, mid-1600s, commenting in his memoirs about the harem and pleasures, common to later Muslim monarchs in Turkey, Persia, and India “A monarch, who was never permitted to leave this prison [the harem] till he ascended the throne, was likely to be effeminate and inefficient. It was hardly possible that he could resist the intoxication of absolute power. The unlimited indulgences of his passions seemed almost the certain consequence of his former debaucheries, and his entire lack of experience. . . . The love of wine, in which this prince often indulged to excess, was the cause of all the evils of his reign. It was in his moments of intoxication alone that he was capricious, cruel, and unjust; . . . To the public officers of government he was severe, but to the poor mild and lenient.”

2. What was ambassador John Malcolm’s opinion of the Shah of Safavid Persia? What does this excerpt tell you of the Shahs after Shah Abbas? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. The Mongol Empire had effective control of Russia from 1237-1480. Use the following document to answer the question:

…The wholesale looting and destruction of property and life in Russia during the Mongol invasion of 1237-40 CE was a staggering blow which left the Russian people stunned, and for a time disrupted the normal course of economic and political life. It is hard to estimate the Russian casualties but they must have been tremendous, and if we include the vast throngs of civilians, both men and women, who were enslaved by the Mongols they can hardly have been less than10 per cent of the total population.

The cities suffered most in the disastrous defeat. Such old centers of Russian civilization as Kiev, Riazan and Suzdal, as well as a number of other towns, were thoroughly destroyed. The Mongol policy of conscripting (drafting) master craftsmen and skilled artisans for the khan’s service added a new burden even for those cities which had been spared physical destruction during the first period of the conquest.”

What effect do you think this invasion had on Russia and the Russian people? (underline your evidence)____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. After the Mongols took control, what possible effect could this have had on the Mongols? What does this author say about the Mongol rule of Russia? What does this say about the Mongols in general? Explain your answer with evidence:

. . . The Mongol impact, assert the Eurasian historians, proved highly beneficial to the Russians.“The Tatars [Mongols] defended Russia from Europe,” sparing it from conquest by the West.After the conquest Mongols and the people of Rus [Russia] coexisted in harmony and peace.From their conquerors the Rus adopted typical Turanian [Asian] character traits: steadiness,conviction, strength, and religiosity, all of which promoted the development of the Muscovitestate. The Mongols assured to Rus secure commercial and cultural relations with the Orient;they enhanced the position of the Orthodox church. In the mid-13th century Alexander Nevskii,prince of Novgorod, faced with a fateful choice, wisely chose the East over the West: “Alexandersaw in the Mongols a friendly force in a cultural sense that could assist him to preserve andconsolidate Russian cultural identity from the Latin West.” . . .

Primary Sources:“…Spanish administrators established two main centers of authority in the Americas—Mexico(which they called New Spain) and Peru (known as New Castile)—each governed by a viceroywho was responsible to the king in Spain. In Mexico they built a new capital, Mexico City, on topof Tenochtitlán. In Peru they originally hoped to rule from the Inca capital of Cuzco, but theyconsidered the high altitude unpleasant and also found the Andean city too inaccessible for their purposes. In 1535 they founded [the city of] Lima and transferred the government to the coast where it was accessible to Spanish shipping.…”

1. What was one change made by the Spanish to the Americas? ___________________________________________________________________________Juan Gines de Sepaeulveda (1490-1573), a scholar and apologist for the Spanish treatment of the Indians in the Americas:

“Turning then to our topic, whether it is proper and just that those who are superior and who excel in nature, customs, and laws rule over their inferiors, you can easily understand…if you are familiar with the character and moral code of the two peoples, that it is with perfect right that the Spaniard exercise their domination over those barbarians of the New World and its adjacent islands. For in prudence, talent and every kind of virtue and

human sentiment they are as inferior to the Spaniards as children are to adults, or women to men, or the cruel and inhumane to the very gentle, or the excessively intemperate to the continent and moderate…”

2. What does this passage tell us about the Spanish attitude towards Native Americans? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“When the Spanish arrived in the New World, they brought with them a set of customs and traditions from their old Spain. One of the systems that were commonly practiced in Western Europe was forced labor. In Spain, this was known as the Encomienda system. An encomienda was a means of providing a Spaniard a portion of land and restricted property rights over a certain number of Indians. The Encomienda system quickly became entrenched in South and Central America. Although it was implemented with the intention to care for and provide for the Native Americans, it became the most abusive and destructive system in colonial New Spain.”
