>Top 7. Human Resources Absorption & Training System:
- An Ideal Meritocracy:
- Even a shepherd can be a minister
- thus reported with envy by Habsburg ambassador; among Turks, their status or occupation depended on their abilities and achievements.
- In the case of Western Europe, all took into consideration of origin of birth to get high ranking positions.
- Тwo-tiered hierarchy in Ottoman Empire:
- >Top Askeri (military): tax-exempt ruling class, including men of the sword, men of the book, and men of the pen

- there was a calling system to the center from rural areas, if good luck and connections.
- >Top Devsirme System:

- Originally, Christians were protected people (Dhimmi) under Islamic law, but this didn't cause problems to collect such children and make them Sultan slaves.
- It can be said that Ottoman Empire was established at the frontier of the Islamic world.
- The target area was mainly Rumelia (Balkan) area; In Bosnia, Muslim Bosnians were also targeted. However, Jews were excluded.
- Candidate children: ages (8-20 years old), healthy; but excluded those who were an only child, know Turkish, and non-Muslim circumcisors.
- recorded birthplace, parent name, year of birth, and physical characteristics. After arriving at the center, were forced to convert to Muslim and given Muslim name. Those with good looking are particularly selected as pages in the court. Majority are allocated Yeniceri army members.
- As a training, sent to Turkish farmers in Anatolia for several years as agricultural labors force, to get used to Turkish life and Turkish language.
- After that, belonged reserve corps, with daily salary. Shift to Yeniceri Army was carried out as appropriate. Marriage was prohibited until becoming an officer. Those who had married by then were suspended from promotion and engaged in reserve role.
- After that, there were opportunities to promote to officer and captain. The corps secretary was usually selected from corps members, but since 15C, court slaves were frequently appointed instead.
- 1648 recruiting Christians effectively stopped.; in beginning 18C 23rd Ahmed II the practice of devshirme was abolished.
- >Top Gorgeous career path:
- Topkapu Palace: there are three sections; outer court (Billund), inner court (Endem, where white eunuch and pages (Ichoghlani; iç oglani), and back palace (Harem, where women and black eunuch)
- Sources of pages: bought slaves, prisoners of war, part of asset forfeiture, rebel slaves, hostages of neighboring princes. Constantly supplied based on Devshirme system, which sorted candidates by appearance, physical strength, intelligence, and future potential. Learned at court school (called Endern Mektebi). Pages were expected to be worriers, but later became bureaucrats.
- Selected pages became cavalry corps or court slaves. The best selected pages were assigned to Sultans's private room (Has Oda) through expedition room, food storage room, or treasure storage room. Lastly Sultan's private office manager (Has Oda Bash) was the most excellent page.
- Cases:
- 1) Pargali Ibrahim Pasha:
Pargali Ibrahim Pasha, born in Parga a part of Republic of Venice, becoming a slave, and first met Prince Suleiman near Edirne likely in 1514; appointed by Suleiman I from Has Oda Bash to the Grand Vizier (1523-36; 13 years; ); replacing Piri Mehmed Pasha appointed in 1518 by preceding Sultan 9th Selim I.
- 2) Rüstem Pasha:

- >Top Informal Intisab (relationship):
- Teacher-apprentice relationship in arts and tea practice
- a means for non-dominant layers to enter the dominant layer by making use of blood and territorial ties.
- Patronage: advancement due to the relationship of protector seeker client.
- Faction formation by the house of a leading officer

- Originally, non-herediatary principle of Devshirme had been adopted as slave children, but de facto hereditary succession expanded.
- Influential families could only maintain and acquire governmental positions for their children, but which could easily be dismissed at the will of Sultan.
- Basically hereditary peers base on pedigree and family could not exist.
- In Ottoman society, there had been coexistence of both non-hereditary succession (openness, such as Devshirme) and de facto hereditary succession (closeness).
- This means the governing flexibility as the rule of Ottoman Empire. (called Soft Tyranny)
7. 人材吸収・育成のシステム:
- 理想的な能力主義社会
- 羊飼も大臣に
- ハプスブルク大使は羨望を込めて称賛: トルコ人の間では、地位も職種も能力と業績への報酬。
- 西欧の場合は、業績に関係なくすべて出自への配慮で高い官職につく。
- オスマン帝国の社会成層
- アスケリ(askeri, military): 免税・帯刀・騎乗等の特権身分: 軍人身分;
- イスラムが支配的宗教であったが、ムスリム中のごく少数がアスケリ身分で、大多数のムスリムはレアヤー身分
- 被ムスリムもごく少数はアスケリ身分に属した。
- レアヤー (reaya, flock):納税義務を負う被支配者身分: 主に農民
- 学校制度
- 初等教育機関: メクテプ; 多くはモスクに付属

- メドレセには一部には寄宿舎・奨学金が支給
- 必要な科目の免許取得が必要。
- イスラム法学者達は、自分の子弟にも同職につかせる傾向があった。
- 幸運とコネがあれば、地方から中央へ吸い寄せるシステムがあった。
- デウシルメ制度:
- 常備軍兵士の継続的な人員補充
- 帝国内キリスト教徒の10歳台の少年を、スルタンの奴隷軍人へ組み込む制度
- 本来キリスト教徒は、イスラム法上は被保護民 (ズィンミー)。なのに、その子弟を徴収して奴隷とすることはイスラム法に反するはずだが、特に問題視されなかった。
- オスマン帝国がイスラム世界のフロンティアで成立した特殊事情とも言える。
- 対象地域は主にルメリ (バルカン)地域。ボスニアではムスリムのボスニア人も対象。但し、ユダヤ教徒は除外。
- 健康で欠点の内子供(8-20歳)が対象。一人っ子は除外、トルコ語を知っている者、非ムスリムの割礼者も除外。
- 出身地、父母名、生年、身体的特徴を記録。中央到着後はムスリムに改宗させ、ムスリム名を付与。容姿に優れた者は内廷の小姓に選抜。大多数はイェニチェリ軍団員
- トルコ式生活とトルコ語研修のため、アナトリアのトルコ系農民に農業労働力として数年間貸出
- その後は予備軍団である新兵軍団に所属。日給を支給。さらにイェニチェリ軍団への編入が適宜行われる。士官となるまでは結婚禁止。それまでに結婚した者は昇進停止させ予備役的雑務。
- その後、下士官、大隊長へ昇進。軍団長官, Beylerbey は、軍団員からの選抜が通例だったが、15C以降、宮廷奴隷が任命される例が増加。
- 1648には、キリスト教徒の採用は実質的に中止され、18C 第23代アフメトIIIはデヴシルメ制度を廃止
- 華やかな出世街道
- トプカプ宮殿は、外廷 (ビルン)、内廷 (エンデルン; 白人宦官と小姓イチュ・オウラン)、後宮 (ハレム; 黒人宦官と女人)
- 小姓の供給源: 購入者、捕虜、贈呈者、没収財産の一部、反乱者の子弟奴隷、近隣王侯の人質。恒常的供給はデウシルメ制度で、容姿・体力・知力・将来性で選別。宮廷学校 (エンデルン・メクテビと呼ばれた)。当初は武人重視から官人養成重視へ変化
- 小姓たちの配属も騎兵軍団や外廷へ転出する者。残った者も遠征室、食料貯蔵室、宝物室をへて最高のスルタンの私室 (ハス・オダ)へ配属。スルタン私室長 (ハス・オダ・バシュ)が筆頭。
- 事例:
- 1) スレイマンの寵臣の大抜擢
- イブラヒム・パシャの場合 (Parga出身の奴隷, 1514頃スレイマン王子のEdirne近辺で知遇); スレイマンによってスルタン私室長(ハス・オダ・バシュ)から大宰相 (1523-36; 13年間) へ抜擢された文人政治家で13年間大宰相を務める。1536年に反逆罪で処刑
- 2) 小姓出身の軍人宰相
- 16C中葉 ルステム・パシャもデウシルメにより内廷に配属。ハス・オダのNo.2のシラフタール (太刀持ち)から外廷のスルタン厩長に転出。その後アナドル州提督を経て宰相に抜擢。1539年にスレイマンとヒュッレムの王女ミフリ マーの女婿に抜擢。1544-53 & 1555-61年(15年間)死亡まで大宰相を務める。
- 3) 小姓出身の文人宰相
- 18C初: イブラヒム・パシャ: ムスリム・トルコ系地方有力者の子。外廷から内廷の書記に抜擢。当時王子だった第23代アフメトIIIの知遇を得る。1716大宰相代理を経てチューリップ時代の大宰相 (1718-30, 12年間)。文芸の良きパトロンだったが、イランへの軍事行動での対応を誤り、殺害され、アメフトIIIも廃位された。
- 非公式のインティサーブ (Intisab)
- 芸術・芸道分野での師弟関係で、入門や仕官に近い。
- 血縁・地縁を活かして非支配層が支配層に参入する手段。
- 庇護者パトロン〜被庇護者クライアントの関係による出世
- 有力大官の家を核とする派閥形成
- オスマン社会の世襲
- 本来はデウシルメという非世襲の原理が、部分的だが奴隷の子 (クル・オウル)として採用されるケースが増加し、事実上の世襲が拡大。
- 但し、有力な家系も、官職を維持獲得しただけで、スルタンの意志で解雇あり得た。
- 血統・家柄のみに基づく世襲貴族は存在できない構造
- オスマン社会は、デウシルメのような非世襲の原理 (開放性)と、事実上の世襲 (閉鎖性)が併存。
- これこそが、オスマン帝国支配の柔軟性の表れ。
>Top 8. Turning Corner of A Superpower:
- 1571: Battle of Lepanto: Combined fleet of Christians (Holy League; Spain and most of Italy, arranged by Pope Pius V, who died in 1573) defeated Ottoman fleet
- Strength of warships: Ottoman 224 vessels vs Christian 276. Of these 190 Ottoman's vessels were sunk or captured. Eventually Ottoman Admiral Ali Pasha was killed due to this result. Turkish deaths were 30K, while Christian side suffered 7.5K.
- Ottoman side was directed by Bertel Pasha, Vizier & Operations Commander, and Ulchu (Uluç) Ali Pasha, Algerian Governor who was in charge or Algerian Navy. The former insisted frontal operation, while the latter insisted on defense operation in he bay. Finally Ali Pasha, the Admiral who was an amateur derived from the court pages decided the frontal battle.
- The result was major defeat of the Ottoman Feet.
- Christians was superiority in guns and cannon aboard the ships. Christians 1814 guns vs, Turks 750
- After the defeat of battle, Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha (1565-79; 14 years) under 11th Selim II appointed Ulchu Ali Pasha as Grand Admiral, and started to rebuild the fleet.
- Eight months after the defeated battle, a large feet of 250 ships revived and deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. Christian side fleet was disbanded without taking advantage of the opportunity after the victory.
- Ottoman fleet captured Cyprus in the same year.
- Actually this Turkish defeat stooped Ottomans' expansion into the Mediterranean; eastern half under Ottoman control, and western half under Habsburgs and their Italian allies.
- >Top End 16C - beginning 17C: a large scale 'Jelali revolts' occurred in Anatolia. Ottoman Empire stood at a corner.
- This was caused by the incompetent rules continued after the death of Sultan Suleiman, as well as unappropriated persons were also appointed below the incompetent Grand Vizier.
- The frequency of Sultans who went to the battle fields were decreased. Prices also lived as a semi prisoners in the back palace without training as local governors. (lived in the golden cage) Women and eunuch officials in the back palace also gave adverse effects to the Empire. (Petticoat government)
- 14th Sultan Ahmed I's beloved princes Kösem Sultan ruled national affairs as the guardian of young 17th Murad IV. Her mother Kösem marries her slave Turhan to her own son 18th Sultan Ibrahim, and gave birth to Mehmed, later who became 19th Mehmed IV. But the power struggle between her mother Turhan and her ex-mother Kösem continued. Mehmed IV himself depended her mother in national affairs as co0rulers.
- Then followed by ineligible Sultans and short-term Grand Viziers caused political instability of the Empire; which was called Women governance, as the fish would be rotten from the head.
- Structural changes in Ottoman Society:
- the changes began with 12th Murad III (1574-95)
- Deterioration of Grand Vizier and Viziers; bribery rampant.
- farmers' distress due to harsh tax collection by the tax collection contractors.; the state-owned land was changed to private land by extending tax collection contract period, which meant landowners appeared.
- budget deficit due to expansion of Yeniceri Army (from 10K in 16C to 40K in 17C. (partly reflected the change of war tactics requiring more depending on artillery powers.)
- also the Empire had changed from military empire to bureaucratic empire
- number of bureaucratic officers; several tens in Suleiman's age to 800 in the end 18C.
- expansion of bureaucratic organization meant more increase of official documentation.
- the place of Decision-making shifted from the conferences by Sultan to those of Grand Vizier.
- increase of the function of Chief Secretary, who was the head of document administration, including roles as the Minister of Foreign Affairs to process documents with foreign countries.
- 1697 Ramie Mehmed Pasha was appointed Visier in 1702 from Secretary general, and then Grand Vizier in 1703 as appreciated to sign the Treaty of Karlowitz after the failure to siege the Second Vienna in 1699.
- Expansion of Technical Gap:
- In 16C the technology of Ottoman organization and military were at an outstanding level.
- even at 18C, which enabled to maintain the territory acquired in 16C.
- the continuous loss of Ottoman territory had occurred in relation with the technological gap with Western Europe.; most of Hungary was retaken by Habsburg Empire under the 1699 treaty of Karlowitz.
- In 18C, the territory of norther coast of the Black Sea was eroded by Russia, which successfully promoted Western-style reforms by Pyotr I, the Great. In the latter half of 18C, Ottoman Empire was defeated with Russian Ekaterina II at Russo-Turkish War, and lost the sovereignty of Crimean Khanate in Crimean Peninsula by 1774 Treaty of Küçuk Kaynarji.
- During 154 years between 1529 the first Siege of Vienna and 1683 the second Siege of Vienna, the military-technical power relationship with Western Europe had been decisively reversed.
- Awakening toward Nation State:
- In latter 18C, the Greeks in the Empire became aware of Greek nationalism as an ethnic group.
- 1789 the French Revolution influenced Ottoman Empire. From end 18C to beginning 19C, non-Muslim nationalists' consciousness emerged in the Balkan Peninsula.
- the religion-based Dhimmi system began to fluctuate; causing opposition to unequal coexistence under Muslim dominance.
- After that, the former Ottoman territory, particularly in Balkan Peninsula became a crucible of fierce ethic and religious conflicting areas even now.
- Ottoman Empire itself was forced to proceed Westernization; after WWI, the flow of dismantling of the empire could not be stopped.
- The history of Ottoman Empire gives us valuable suggestions about the fate of an empire with vast territories and diverse ethnic groups, and the trials of coexistence with diverse elements in society.

- 16Cは、オスマン帝国の組織と軍事技術は卓絶したレベル
- 18Cでも16Cに獲得した領土を維持できた。

Comment
- In 2022 with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, it is important to unravel history of the world, because it is as if a 21C Crusaders were formed.
- The world should be understood keeping an eye on not only Europe & US, and Russia, but also China, India, South America and Middle East. Why Turkey tries to mediate between Russia and Ukraine. Then, I recognized the historical role of the Ottoman Empire which had been a superpower between the West and the East for more than 600 years.
- Also, a Turkish drama "History of Ottoman Empire" was very inspiring. There existed until recently an international nation where Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Russian, and Italian languages were spoken.
- The Ancient Roman Empire had existed only in the memory of history. However, the tradition of Byzantine Empire was inherited by Ottoman Empire and neighboring countries and survived until recently, and still influences various current historical formations.
- 2022 ロシアによるウクライナ侵攻を契機に、世界史をさらに紐解くことにした。あたかも21Cの十字軍が編成されたかのような騒ぎである。
- 世界は、欧米やロシアだけでなく、中国やインド、南米や中東の動向には目を離せない。そしてなぜトルコがロシアとウクライナの仲介をしているのか。そして、西アジアで600年余に亘って超大国であった東西間に位置するオスマン帝国の歴史的役割を改めて認識することになったのである。
- またトルコ制作のドラマ"オスマン帝国外伝"には、大いに刺激を受けた。トルコ語とアラビア語・ペルシャ語・ロシア語・イタリア語が飛び交う国際的な国家が、確かに最近まで存在していたのだ。
- ローマ帝国は歴史の中にしか存在していなかった。だがその東ローマ帝国の伝統は、オスマン・トルコや周辺国に継承されてごく最近まで存続し、今も様々な歴史形成に影響を与えている。
