Answer 14

What was the relationship between Western Europe, East Asia, and the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century?

A. European kings and Ottoman sultans defended one another from East Asian emperors.
B. East Asian Muslims and Ottoman Muslims cooperated to convert European Christians.
C. The Ottomans grew wealthy by taxing trade between Europe and East Asia.
D. Armies from Europe and East Asia conquered large chunks of territory from the Ottomans.

Answer 15

Ottomans=Asia Minor, eastern Europe. Safavids=Persia, Hindus=India.
Ottomans and Safavids are both Moslem, Hindus are, well, Hindu. None of them lived in Turkey or Iran. (Asia Minor and Persia) Any choice mentioning Hindus with Ottomans or Safavids is wrong.
The Safavids were Sufi. Among other things they are different from other Muslems because they back the brother-in-law cousin of Mohammed not his friend. Ottomans are vice-versa.
The Ottoman empire took control of trade routes after the Mongols. No more free trips on the Silk Road for Europe and the Byzantines. The Ottomans charged Europeans to get to China and other east Asia places.
You didn't ask but, Europeans started being interested in sailing around Africa to avoid Ottomans taxes. And then, Columbus.
