2) Ottoman; Ottomites 3) Samantha De Bonis 4) The Ottomites are actually very culture enriched; and like America they are brought together by a war in it's self. According to Hurriyet Daily News, "A Turkish empire that brought together Islamic, Arabic and Persian culture, at one time it spanned three continents. The Ottoman Empire was at its height in the 16th century under the rule of Suleyman the Magnificent" (Gamm). The Turkish empire that brought them together took out many aspects if each culture and combined them in to one. Which made the Ottoman empire one of the most involved and famous for arts, architecture, music, technology and cuisine at the height of the empire. The only thing that the Ottomites did not have is the similarities in religion that is mostly present in the contents, an example of this includes Americans being known as mostly Catholics and Iran being known the be Muslim. In the Ottoman empire they collaborated different religions into one main culture, even through it was the root of most fights, that shaped the people entirely. In the world today according to the New York Times, "The Ottoman period, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries, was marked by geopolitical dominance and cultural prowess, during which the sultans claimed the spiritual leadership of the Muslim world" (Bilefsky). It is being taught to "school children" that the Ottoman empire was one of the most enriched and well maintained empire until the down fall. The empire is still looked upon as a culture enriched era and is influencing some cultures today with the agricultural sound building and the art involved. Now the art technics are being used in many artist's art today. 5) Bilefsky, Dan. "As If the Ottoman Period Never Ended." The New York Times. The New York Times, 30 Oct. 2012. Web. 11 Feb. 2013.
