Why did ottoman sultans Create the janissary?
1. A sultan’s greatest fear was to be overthrown from within, by a rival Muslim family or disgruntled subject.
2. They had lost the money they needed to pay soldiers so they decided to raise an army of slaves
3. The sultans Believed that the Christians they conquered would be less likely to revolt against an army of former Christians.
4.They had been unable to overtake Constantinople so they hoped that Christian soldiers could serve as spies or insurgents.

Government taxes ? i guess

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
