Condition: New. "The use of the Ottoman system for the supply of soldiers in time of war may be estimated from the fact, that an armed horseman was required for every fief of the value of twelve pounds a year, and another for every additional twenty pounds. In the time of Solyman these fiefs were able to furnish 150,000 cavalry. The feudal troops were always kept in readiness, nor was anything required to summon them to the field but an order of the Sultan to the two Beglerbegs of the Empire from whom it was communicated to a regular gradation of officers entrusted with the task of mustering these Spahi, or Cavaliers, in their separate divisions. This force served without pay. If they fell in battle, they were honoured as martyrs: if they distinguished themselves, or if the expedition was successful, they were rewarded with larger gifts of property. All their hopes of advancement depended upon the Sultan, and his success in war. They were ready to do his bidding in any part of the world, for the greater part of every country which they subdued was divided among the members of their own body." Editors: Translator: 34 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the rise and success of the Ottoman Turks. The author argues that the Ottomans' success was due to several factors, including their military organization, their system of feudalism, and their religious tolerance. The Ottomans were a nomadic people who migrated to Anatolia in the 13th century. They quickly established a powerful empire, which reached its peak in the 16th century. The Ottoman Empire was one of the largest and most powerful empires in history, and it lasted for over 500 years. The Ottomans' military organization was one of the key factors in their success. They developed a standing army of paid infantry, which was far superior to the feudal levies of their European rivals. The Ottomans also made effective use of artillery, which gave them a significant advantage in battle. The Ottoman system of feudalism was another factor that contributed to their success. The Ottoman feudal system was based on a system of land grants, which were given to soldiers in exchange for military service. This system ensured that the Ottomans had a large and loyal army, which was always ready to fight. The Ottomans were also tolerant of other religions, which allowed them to gain the support of non-Muslims. This tolerance was in contrast to the religious intolerance of the European powers, which often led to wars and persecution. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Ottoman Empire, from its origins to its decline. The author provides a wealth of detail on the Ottomans' military organization, their system of feudalism, and their religious tolerance. The book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire or the history of the Middle East.
