| In the early era, the empire was divided into '''eyalets''' (''ایالت'', literally "states") led by '''beylerbeys''' (''بكلربكی'', literally "bey of beys"). Sometimes they were called ''beylerbeyliks'' instead. Note that ''pasha'' (alternatively ''basha'', ''پاشا'') was a military honor rather than an administrative title, but pasha who also were beylerbeys sometimes referred to their realms as ''pashaliks''. Eyalets were subdivided into '''sanjak''' (''سنجاق'', literally "flag") led by '''sanjak-beys''' (alternatively ''sanjaq-'' or ''-beg'', ''سنجاق بك''). Conquered nations were forced to convert to Islam, subjected to serfdom, and pay their sons to the [[WorldHistory/OttomanEmpire|Janissaries|devshirme system]]. Following the '''Tanzimat reforms''', the empire was redivided into '''vilayets''' (''ولایت'', literally "province") led by '''vali''' (from the title ''wāli'' (''والي'') used in the wider Islamic sphere). The '''Millet system''' also emerged, which granted a degree of freedom of religion. === Eyalet of Rumelia === The most powerful eyalet was '''Rumelia''', encompassing all European lands of the empire. (Essentially the Balkans.) Until the capture of [[Turkey/Istanbul|Constantinople]], [[Turkey/Edirne|Adrianople]] served as the capital of both Rumelia and the empire. This eyalet was reorganized into the '''vilayet of Salonica''' in 1867. |
