Why Voltaire sent Candide to the Constantinople?




Voltaire is acknowledged with writing of plays , and poetry , and writings of religion. He wrote  to the Candide, or Optimism  in 1759.
Voltaire is a satirist also who desires to emphasize the notion of further via “Candide” for Europe. The notion of further intends to recognize yourself. Cause of acknowledge yourself is converting for own faulty and unsteady government system. Although, Ottoman Empire gets in the regression period, Voltaire select it; therefore , he distinguishes from the other countries. There are many reason about the selection of Voltaire. Initially, Ottoman Empire was undubitable mighty empire through the other strong countries. Alternatively, Ottoman Empire has put faith in Muslim. Ultimately, Ottoman Empire has not any discriminative system on the society like aristocracy and, bourgeoisie ,in contrast to Europe or France. These incontravertible factors influenced the choice of Voltaire.
Voltaire  desired to demonstrate Europe’s weakness and instability via Ottoman Empire. If it needs to eleborate them. Ottoman Empire was the most powerful state in Europe ;nonetheless, it has attractive governmental and military system. On the contrary, Europe commonly is in impermanence about political and army.
The factor of religion is still effectively ,that is the whole christian Europe usually is in chaos. But Ottoman Empire is in satisfactory regulation concerning the religion ;thence, the principal religional factor is the difference between the Europe and Ottoman Empire.
Voltaire realised to the impropriety of social-class system in Europe and he emphasized to the faulty system in Candide. Counter to Europe, Ottoman empire did not apply any classification system on their community. Bourgeoisie and aristocracy snatched eachothers; therefore, they battered to the state authority.
In conclusion, Voltaire criticised to Europe in Candide. He used to the Constantinople and Ottoman  for satirizing to social-class system, religion and governmental system. The notion of further was emphasized by Candide.
