文档介绍：THE CLIMATE OF REBELLION IN THE EARLY MODERN
OTTOMAN EMPIRE
The Climate of Rebellion in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire explores
the serious and far-reaching consequences of the Little Ice Age
in Ottoman lands. This book demonstrates how imperial systems
of provisioning and settlement that defined Ottoman power in
the 1500s came unraveled in the face of ecological pressures and
extreme cold and drought, leading to the outbreak of the destruc-
tive Celali Rebellion (1596–1610). This rebellion marked a turning
point in Ottoman fortunes, as bination of ongoing Little Ice
Age climate fluctuations, nomad incursions, and rural disorder post-
poned Ottoman recovery over the following century, with enduring
impacts on the region’s population, land use, and economy.
