what is one similarity between the ottoman and the mughal empires?
both empires attempted to isolate themselves from outside influence
both empires were religiously diverse, which forced the governments to adopt religious tolerance
both empires made most of their income by buying slaves from west africa
both empires went into decline after new diseases killed off the population

Explanation:

• First question:
• Suleyman's legal reforms allowed non - Muslims to practice their religion upon paying a tax (jizya). This was a common practice in the Ottoman Empire to manage religious diversity.
• The claim that all religious freedoms ended is incorrect as the Ottoman Empire had a system of religious millet (communities) that allowed for some religious autonomy.
• There is no connection between Suleyman's legal reforms and pirates receiving government funding.
• Women being accepted into universities is not a result of Suleyman's legal reforms as such educational opportunities for women were not prominent in that era.
• Second question:
• The Ottoman Empire was not isolationist; it was a major trading and imperial power with extensive interactions.
• Both the Ottoman and Mughal Empires were religiously diverse. The Ottomans had Muslims, Christians, Jews etc., and the Mughals had Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs etc. This diversity led to policies of religious tolerance (e.g., in the Ottoman millet system and some Mughal emperors' policies like Akbar's).
• While the slave trade existed in various forms, it was not the main source of income for either empire.
• The decline of these empires was due to a complex set of factors like political instability, economic issues, and military challenges, not primarily new diseases killing off the population.

Answer:

• First question: Non - Muslims could practice their religion if they paid a tax.
• Second question: Both empires were religiously diverse, which forced the governments to adopt religious tolerance.
