The question requires that candidates give an account of the similarities and differences in the impact on the stated areas of the foundation of the Ottoman Empire, referring to both areas throughout. The impact may extend beyond the timeframe of the section; however, it must be clearly linked to the foundation of the Ottoman Empire. Candidates may refer to territorial and demographic changes; legal and administrative effects; religious changes and conflicts; economic effects with respect to employment in trade and industry; emergence of different social structures; military effects and changes in various aspects of culture. Both similarities and differences must be clearly indicated but there does not have to be an equal number of both.
