Common Problems
• TOO BIG (transportation & communication issues)
• Nomadic heritage led to unruly warrior elites
• Rise of European rivals– Europe = small states, strong rivalries &
competition, technologies & weapons developed more rapidly; trade routes moved to ocean routes controlled by Europe

Long-term consequences
• Ottoman, Safavid, & Muhgal Empires came from Turkish, nomadic roots BUT
• Central Asian nomadic threats ended w/ gunpowder – conquered and subjugated

Discussion!1. “Of the previous Sultans, there were many who ruled the
land, but few who ruled the sea. In the conduct of war at sea, the infidels are superior to us. We must overcome them.”
– Suleyman the Magnificent’s Grand Vizir
Why do you think Muslim empires didn’t adequately meet the challenges faced from Europe, and fell in power as Europe rose?
