The purpose of this Guided Reading course is to explore the dominant trend in historiography that pertains to the Ottoman rule in Southeastern Europe. Beginning with the gradual conquest of the region by the constantly evolving Ottoman state, the course will delve into the development of various aspects such as institutions, land regime, settlement patterns, governmental practices, and public welfare. Through the analysis of primary and secondary sources, students will gain insight into the pivotal role of the Balkans in the Ottoman state-building process. The course aims to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the cultural and historical nuances of the region, contextualized within the broader scope of Ottoman history.
