The Elite Soldiers Of The Ottoman Empire, Janissaries! The Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire emerged as one of the most powerful military forces in the world. They were highly-trained fighters. They played a significant role in the conquest of Constantinople. Nothing seemed capable of stopping the Janissaries’ career of conquest. An Italian traveler named Paolo Giovio once described these ferocious warriors: “Their discipline under arms is due to their justice and severity, which surpasses that of the ancient Romans. They surpass our soldiers for three reasons; 1) They obey their commanders without question. 2) They seem to care nothing at all for their lives in battle. 3) They go for a long time without bread and water." Janissaries were very devout Muslims. Their primary purpose in life was Jihad only and fighting against the enemies of Islam.
