  ipedia.com: Ottoman Empire Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Ottoman Empire was a Turkish state in the Middle East that comprised Anatolia, part of Southwest Asia, North Africa and south-eastern Europe in the 14th to 20th centuries, established by a tribe of Oghuz Turks in western Anatolia.
The Ottoman Empire was among the world's most powerful political entities in the 16th and 17th centuries when the nations of Europe felt threatened by its steady advance through the Balkans.
The Empire reached its apex under Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century when it stretched from the Persian Gulf in the east to Hungary in the northwest; and from Egypt in the south to the Caucasus in the north.

The Eastern half of the Empire, centered around Constantinople, the city of Constantine the Great, remained the heartland of the Roman state until 1453, when the Byzantine Empire fell to the Ottoman Turks.
After 35 years of this, the Empire was on the verge of death, and only the military skill of Aurelian, one of Rome's greatest emperors, restored the empire to its natural boundaries.
Christian Empire, 313 - 395 CE The beginning of the roman empire as a christian empire probably lies in 313, with the Edict of Milan.

 THE INCAS
Tawantinsuyu, the indigenous name of the empire, derives from the Quechua "tawa" (four), to which the suffix "-ntin" (together or united) is added, followed by "suyu" (region or province), which roughly renders as "The land of the four parts together".
For instance, the ChimĂș used money in their commerce, while the Inca empire as a whole had an economy based on exchange and taxation of luxury goods and labour (it is said that Inca tax collectors would take the head lice of the lame and old as a symbolic tribute).
Subjects of the empire were allowed to worship their ancestral gods as long as they accepted the supremacy of Inti, the sun god, which was the most important god worshipped by the Inca leadership.

 Final Empire Chap 13
The body of capitalist myth has allowed individuals in empire culture to believe that they have no moral responsibility, because, in their conditioned way of thinking, it is "natural" and "just common sense" that there be the rich and the starving, as that is how evolution progresses.
The culture of empire has made the ability to create tools that more and more efficiently extort the life force of the earth, the basis of judgement of what peoples are "advanced" along the linear road and what peoples are not.
Although orthodox biology has been dominated by the mechanist/reductionist and Darwinian schools of thought there have been a few Vitalist biologists through the years maintaining that, in addition to matter, there is a non-material, vital element present in life.

 The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community
Empire brings fortune to the few, condemns the majority to misery and servitude, suppresses the creative potential of all, and appropriates much of the wealth of human societies to maintain the institutions of domination.
Given that Empire has prevailed for 5,000 years, a turn from Empire to Earth Community might seem a hopeless fantasy if not for the evidence from values surveys that a global awakening to the higher levels of human consciousness is already underway.
A far-right alliance of elitist corporate plutocrats and religious theocrats has gained control of the political discourse in the United States not by force of their numbers, which are relatively small, but by controlling the stories by which the prevailing culture defines the pathway to prosperity, security, and meaning.

 PBS : Empires : Queen Victoria : The Changing Empire : Characters : Prince Albert
In truth she was not interested in marrying, as she was enjoying her role and wanted nothing to inhibit it, but her advisers emphasized the matter of the succession, rather than the reining in of her willfulness.
Victoria knew she was rather plain, with her chief and perhaps only asset her position as queen of the mightiest empire on the globe.
Although Albert's role at the start, despite desks in tandem, was only to wield the blotting paper for her signature, and he chafed at his being far less than the master in his own house, biology altered the marital and political balance.

 Final Empire CHAPT 8
The apologists of empire will attempt to say that there has been a "social" evolution (linear increase) and that this has progressed since "man the toolmaker" first chipped a rock for use as a tool.
When culture inverted with empire, the cultural motive of linear increase resulted in increased population as the patriarchs had conscious motive to increase family size for economic reasons as well as patriarchal pride.
With empire agriculture, more human labor was needed because they did not gather, they "worked" the land and needed the labor of more sons and daughters.

 Empire Watch
By historicizing the various uses of the concept of race, broadly defined, throughout human history, post-colonial theorists show how in the 19th century Western European empires were quite unique in employing scientific racism to organize self-other differences as a dominant political and social ideology.
As such, empire as a form of political organization should certainly not be dismissed out of hand.
How then to convince the world (or is it just the American plutocracy) that these Western European empires are a great inspiration for our future given the central role that race played in their constitution and perpetuation.
