However, there are some factors that appear to be central to ISIS' ideology: the group believes that it is engaged in a holy war, or Jihad, against infidels and apostates; and this religious justification provides a powerful motivation for many ISIS fighters.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, the balance of economic strength had shifted entirely to western Europe and especially to Britain and France, which were then passing into the second stage of the industrial revolution that Turkey had hardly begun.
