The Period in Perspective
Beginning in the late fifteenth century,
Europeans engaged in a vigorous period of
state building. The result was the creation of
independent monarchies in western and central
Europe that formed the basis of a new European
state system. These European states then
began to expand into the rest of the world.
Also during this period, two great new Islamic
empires, the Ottomans in Turkey and the
Safavids in Persia, arose in Southwest Asia. A
third Islamic empire–the Mogul Empire–unified
the subcontinent of India. Least affected by the
European expansion were the societies of East
Asia: China and Japan.

Why is Candide punished? How does
this relate to the philosophy of the

of free will is a central ideal of the
Enlightenment.

Critical Thinking What is Voltaire’s attitude
toward the “King of the Bulgars”?
The king is modeled on Frederick the Great, at
whose court Voltaire lived for some time. The
fact that he recognizes Candide’s action as a
mistake only a metaphysician (philosopher)
would make is a dig at Frederick, who was not
as enlightened as he liked to think himself; for
example, he did not free the serfs because to
do so would have angered the nobility, on
whom he relied to lead his army.

Why was Süleyman known as the Lawgiver?
What kind of ruler was he?
Süleyman was known as the Lawgiver
because he was considered to be a just and
fair ruler; he reorganized the government so
that corruption ended, regulated the laws of
the empire, and saw that the laws were fairly
enforced.

Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answer.
What were Süleyman’s main accomplishments?
Süleyman’s main accomplishments included
governmental and legal reform, bringing
prosperity to his people, and greatly increasing
the size of the Ottoman Empire.
This feature can be found on pages 464–467 of your textbook.
Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answer.
What factors contributed to the decline of the
Ottoman Empire after Süleyman’s death?
Chief among the factors that contributed to the
decline of the Ottoman Empire was the struggle
for a successor. Süleyman left a number of
male heirs but did not appoint any one of them
to serve as sultan. The heir who emerged alive,
Selim, was known as the Drunkard, and he
proved to be an incapable administrator.

• Charles V, the Holy Roman emperor, who ruled
from 1519 to 1556, was a contemporary of
Süleyman. Charles viewed the Ottomans as a
major threat to his power. Charles’s concern with
the Ottoman advance (as well as war with
France) kept him from stopping the spread of
Luther’s ideas in his realms.
This feature can be found on pages 464–467 of your textbook.
• One European visitor had this to say about
Süleyman: “His dignity of demeanor and his
general physical appearance are worthy of the
ruler of so vast an empire.”
This feature can be found on pages 464–467 of your textbook.
• Süleyman was responsible for building a bridge
linking two parts of the Bosnian town of Mostar.
The bridge lasted until November 9, 1993, when
it was destroyed by Croatian artillery.

Political and intellectual revolutions changed
the way people thought about established
ideas and institutions. How did this change
in perception eventually lead to the American
view of government today?
The ideals of equality and liberty for all
citizens are evident in the belief that all
people should have a voice in choosing
leaders and in making laws. Also, if all men
and women are created equal, we do not
believe in the “divine” right to rule.
