The Climate of Rebellion in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire
explores the serious and far-reaching impacts of Little Ice Age
climate fluctuations in Ottoman lands. This study 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 destructive Celali Rebellion (1595-1610). This rebellion marked
a turning point in Ottoman fortunes, as a combination of ongoing
Little Ice Age climate events, nomad incursions and rural disorder
postponed Ottoman recovery over the following century, with
enduring impacts on the region's population, land use and economy.
