Question

Compare and contrast the reign of Suleiman and mehmet

Answer 1

Answer:

During the Early Modern period, there were three Muslim empires in the Middle East and South Asia known as the Gunpowder Empires.  On the foundations of the Byzantine Empire rose the Ottoman Empire, with great leaders like Suleyman the Magnificent.  Centered on the old Persian Empire grew the Safavid Empire, with strong leaders like Shah Ismail and Shah Abbas the Great.  Finally, in South Asia, we see the Mughal Empire conquering in India and bringing Islam into the subcontinent.

Explanation:

Suleyman the Magnificent was the leader, or Sultan, of the Ottoman Empire from 1520-1566, and during that time he built the Suleymaniye mosque in Constantinople.  Like the sultans who came after him, Suleyman wanted to contribute to the beauty and power of the Ottomans and demonstrate the contributions of Ottoman power to Islamic and human civilization.
