Here is a question about this article: The Christian population of the empire, owing to their higher educational levels, started to pull ahead of the Muslim majority, leading to much resentment on the part of the latter. In 1861, there were 571 primary and 94 secondary schools for Ottoman Christians with 140,000 pupils in total, a figure that vastly exceeded the number of Muslim children in school at the same time, who were further hindered by the amount of time spent learning Arabic and Islamic theology. In turn, the higher educational levels of the Christians allowed them to play a large role in the economy. In 1911, of the 654 wholesale companies in Istanbul, 528 were owned by ethnic Greeks. Of course, it would be a mistake to ignore the geopolitical dimensions of this dynamic. The preponderance of Christian merchants owed not to any innate business sense on their part, although plenty of European observers were keen on making this point. In fact, in many cases, Christians and also Jews were able to gain protection from European consuls and citizenship, meaning they were protected from Ottoman law and not subject to the same economic regulations as their Muslim comrades.
What is the answer to this question: Jews and Christians were offered protection in the form of what assistance by Europe?
consuls and citizenship
Här är en fråga om denna artikel: Den kristna befolkningen i imperiet, på grund av sin högre utbildningsnivå, började dra före den muslimska majoriteten, vilket ledde till mycket förbittring från den senares sida. År 1861 fanns det 571 grundskolor och 94 gymnasieskolor för osmanska kristna med totalt 140.000 elever, en siffra som kraftigt översteg antalet muslimska barn i skolan samtidigt, vilka ytterligare hindrades av den tid som tillbringades med att lära sig arabiska och islamisk teologi. De kristnas högre utbildningsnivåer tillät dem i sin tur att spela en stor roll i ekonomin. År 1911 ägdes 528 av de 654 grossistföretagen i Istanbul av etniska greker. Det skulle naturligtvis vara ett misstag att ignorera de geopolitiska dimensionerna av denna dynamik. De kristna köpmännens dominans berodde inte på någon medfödd affärskänsla från deras sida, även om många europeiska observatörer var angelägna om att framhålla detta. I själva verket kunde kristna och även judar i många fall få skydd från europeiska konsuler och medborgarskap, vilket innebar att de var skyddade från osmansk rätt och inte lydde under samma ekonomiska regler som sina muslimska kamrater. Vad är svaret på den här frågan: Vilket stöd från Europa erbjöds judar och kristna skydd?
