Describe the position of a minority group in a gunpowder empire.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The position of a minority group in a gunpowder empire was a complex one, under the domination of powerful Empires such as the Mughal Empire, Ottoman Empire, and the Safavid Empire.

These three powerful empires exerted their power and dominion over all their territories and minority groups had to learn to survive under these harsh conditions.

Among the minority groups of these Muslim Empires, we found the Armenians. This ethnic group was a minority, and although Armenians participated in trade activities, they were always under the pressure and supervision of the Ottomans.

The gunpowder empires had centralized powers that did not allow any liberties to their subjects. Their economies were based on trade and these empires developed strong trade ties with different regions in the Southeast of Asia, Europe, and the North of Africa.
