Question

7. The Ottoman-Safavid conflict was primarily driven by: A. Tegritorial disputes over Central Asia. B. Competition for control of Indian Ocean trade. C. Religious differences between Sunni and Shi'a Islam. D. Rival claims to the title of caliph.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Religious differences between Sunni and Shi'a Islam.The Ottoman-Safavid conflict was primarily driven by religious differences between the Sunni Ottoman Empire and the Shi'a Safavid Empire. The Ottomans were Sunni Muslims, while the Safavids were Shi'a Muslims. This religious divide led to tensions and conflicts between the two empires, as they sought to expand their influence and control over different regions in the Middle East and Central Asia.The Ottomans, as Sunni Muslims, believed in the legitimacy of their rule and the authority of the caliphate, while the Safavids, as Shi'a Muslims, sought to establish their own religious and political authority. This led to rival claims to the title of caliph and a struggle for dominance in the region.While territorial disputes over Central Asia and competition for control of Indian Ocean trade may have played a role in the conflict, the primary driving force behind the Ottoman-Safavid conflict was the religious divide between Sunni and Shi'a Islam.
