The military’s incorporation into the state was most prominent in the Ottoman Empire, whose rulers created a new type of military force that drew its manpower mostly from Islamic-ruled parts of Europe. These Janissaries (Christian boys conscripted to serve in Ottoman infantry units) were either recruited from Europe or abducted from countries under Ottoman control.
军队全面干预国家的顶峰是奥斯曼帝国，其统治者建立了一支新式军队，军士大多来源于伊斯兰教控制的欧洲国家。这些苏丹亲兵（被编入奥斯曼帝国步兵的基督教雇佣军）要么从欧洲征召，要么从奥斯曼帝国控制下的国家强征。
