Ottoman Recipe For SuccessHighly centralized administrative structures
Power was always transferred to a single person, and not split between rival princes (The Ottoman Empire was successfully ruled by a single family for 7 centuries.)
Promotion to positions of power largely depended on merit/worth
Encouraged loyalty from other faith groups
Very strong military
