Question 10 • TX-World History Studies A-CR

Which explains why sultan Suleiman I of the Ottoman Empire was called “Suleiman the Magnificent?”

Answer
A
He created Istanbul during the early part of the Empire’s history.
B
He oversaw advances during a peak in the Empire’s history.
C
He built the Taj Mahal during a peak in the Empire’s history.
D
He conquered India during the early part of the Empire’s history.

Explanation

Suleiman I ruled during a high point of Ottoman power, when the empire expanded and made significant political, legal, and cultural advances. This is why he became known as “Suleiman the Magnificent.” The Taj Mahal was built much later by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, not by Suleiman.
