HW 4/6

How do the plans of the Young Turks privilege their own age cohort within the Ottoman empire, particularly in terms of voting rights and education?

All of the subjects under Ottoman rule were able to vote by the age of 20. They did not discriminate agains the people the had taken over. The Young Turks created a system of primary and secondary schools which lead to going to a university which would all would be under watch of the state ministry of education. Also all primary education was free and mandatory. This shows that they put an emphasis on equality and education, which will be valed when trying to expand their empire on future generations.
