Another point I will make about the Ottomans, the Ottoman occupation of Orthodox Christian lands indirectly served as protection for Orthodox Christians against Catholic aggression. There's a book written by a Serbian janissary from the 1400's, Konstantin Mihailovic. In this book, our lovely Serb tries to explain the Turks and their ways to other Christians around Europe. He talks about the usual bad stuff, like how the Turks raid, kidnap, make war, etc. But he at the same time gives credit to them for being a merciful people who do charity towards others regardless of religious background, just out of good will. He specifically mentions that the areas closest to the sultan usually had the best system of justice in place, and it just so happens that these areas were heavily populated with Christians. Many commoners at the time preferred Ottoman rule over others due to their policy of tolerance. The Ottomans were very good at giving their conquered subjects a way to cooperate and assimilate into the new order.
