The statement that describes the Ottoman devshirme system is:
"It enslaved Christian boys in the Balkans and made them become soldiers."
The devshirme system involved the recruitment of Christian boys, primarily from the Balkans, who were taken from their families, converted to Islam, and trained to serve the state, often as soldiers in the Janissary corps.
