Today I want to ask about what you did not like about this course. Some prompts to consider (you don't have to reply to all of these, just one) include:


1. If you could change one thing about this course, what would it be?
2. What is something that you did not like about the work or workload?
3. What is something that you did not like about the live sessions?
4. Is there anything else you think I should know in order to improve this class for the future?


This question is not graded. I do look forward to honest feedback. This is one of the ways I work to improve the course over the years.

Ottoman v Safavid wars (1500s to 1600s)
30 Years War (1618 to 1648)


Your prompt is: Explain the ways religious differences between the main combatants influence each of these conflicts? Describe whether these influences were similar or different between each of these conflicts.


Note: Don't just identify the religious differences, but make sure you explain how they influenced the conflicts. Some areas of influence to consider include: Were the religious differences causes of the conflicts? Were the religious differences used to gain support for the conflicts within the differenct societies? How did the religious differences effect the peace making process? There are other areas of influence to consider, but those are some suggestions if you are having trouble.


Below I've attached an article that has a section that does a good job summarizing the Shia/Sunni split in Islam. I've also linked to some Khan academy resources. These are for building background if you need it. The article is particularly useful because it is one of the best summaries I have found, comprehensive yet concise. You will need to do independent research on each of the conflicts. Don't forget about your textbook as a source!
