Ottoman Empire

The following Grand Viziers were exclusively collected through the forced levy of Christian children (Devshirmeh) by the Janissaries who indoctrinated them in the faith of Islam and the service of the Ottoman Empire:

Most of the Pashas listed here were born in Bosnia with no reference to being of Serbian ethnicity. In fact some historical documents refer to many of the Bosnian-born Pashas as being of Croatian ethnicity. This is completely logical. Remember, the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina was about 90% Croat prior to the Ottoman conquest. Most of the Serb settlements were in eastern Bosnia, along the Drina River, across from Serbia. Do the research. Don't just research Croat or Serb sources, investigate old Turkish, Venetian and Vatican sources.
