Answer 1

The Ottoman Empire Takes Over Greek Territory

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The Ottoman Empire takes over Greek territory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ottoman control of Greece lasted from around 1453 to the end of the Greek War of Independence in 1832. The sultan divided Greece into seven military districts and sent Turkish peasants there in order to have a reserve army on hand. Some villages were owned by Turkish landowners; there were all Turkish and all Greek villages. Although there was no longer a Greek state since 1453, the Greeks were by no means an insignificant minority within the Ottoman Empire. Trade and seafaring were almost exclusively Greek professions. Despite that, Greece's economic development was harmed during this period.
