How did Christian populations respond to Ottoman rule?

Christian populations responded to Ottoman rule in various ways. Some accepted the new rulers and even converted to Islam in order to enjoy the benefits of Ottoman society. Others resisted Ottoman rule, either by fleeing to other countries or by engaging in armed rebellion. Many Christians were subject to discrimination and persecution under Ottoman rule, including the jizya tax which imposed a heavy financial burden on non-Muslims. Despite these challenges, Christians continued to thrive under Ottoman rule, particularly in the areas of trade, commerce, and education.
