I know this isn't exactly relevant to alternate history, but I'm looking for sources of information related to the demographics of various communities in the Ottoman state - in particular the population of the Greek Orthodox ethnic body in the Empire.
From lurking here I have had my curiosity piqued about various aspects of the Ottoman state. I have been trying to form my own explanations about Ottoman accomplishments, but I am particularly interested in whether the Christian population of the Empire increased over time and how much it did so in relation to the Muslim population, given that for most of the Empire's history only Muslims fought in the Ottoman armies.
Any comments or replies are welcome.
