  2. Did you know that the first modern standing #army revolted?

    During the 14th c. the #Ottomanempire found itself in need of #soldiers. The easiest recruits were children of Christian slaves who were turned #Moslem.

    These boys were 7-14 years old & would become proper soldiers, known as Janissary, at age 24.
