What was the Middle East like during the time of the American Revolution ?

by MightyMite5947

During the American Revolution we know that they had muskets, rifles, and other technology of those sorts, but was it the same in the Middle East? During my school life I don’t think we have talked about this, except maybe for the Barbary states, but I need a more in depth answer. Thanks!

This is an incredibly broad question. Yes, the late 18th century Ottoman empire, which dominated the Middle East at the time, had muskets and gunpowder. It might be easier to point you to book-length descriptions of Ottoman and Middle Eastern society if that's what you're looking for.
