1. what are the differences between the elite military units of the mughal, safavid, and ottoman empire?

a. the elite military units were similar in how they were mostly loyal to their ruler; nonetheless, these units were composed of people from different backgrounds. for example, the janissaries were selected and trained at a young age through the devshirme system while the zamindars often consisted of hindu princes.
b. all of their elite military units were similar in the way that they always betrayed their rulers considering they had almost no special treatment in their empire motivating them to preserve their rulers’ authority. for instance, the janissaries had strong restrictions on their family life such as not being able to marry or have children.
c. the kizilbash can be considered to have the most significant role in their empire compared to the janissaries or zamindards, since they were most valuable for wars. contrastingly, the janissaries had weak military training since they did not receive any military training and were rather a group composed of volunteers.
d. these military units are all different since they all have different roles in their empires since the janissaries did not have much military involvement, contrary to the zamindars, while the kizilbash were in charge of collecting taxes.

Explanation:

Question 35

The Gunpowder empires (Ottoman, Safavid, Mughal) had leaders with titles like Sultan (Ottoman), Shah (Safavid), and Mirza (Mughal context). Option A has titles not associated (e.g., Caliph not main for all), B has military titles, C has non - relevant titles. So D is correct.

Islamic Gunpowder empires (Ottoman, Safavid, Mughal) combined Turko - Persian culture and had nomadic roots (Turkic origins). Option A is wrong as they were multi - ethnic. B is wrong as gunpowder was for weaponry. D is wrong as admin systems were more than just trading posts. So C is correct.

Elite military units: Janissaries (Ottoman, Devshirme - trained), Zamindars (Mughal, Hindu princes), and others. Option A correctly states they were loyal but from different backgrounds. B is wrong (they were loyal, not traitors). C is wrong (Janissaries had strong training). D is wrong (roles misrepresented). So A is correct.

Answer:

D. Sultan, Shah, Mizra
