Correction, Mahmud II is not Selim III's brother he is actually Mustafa IV's little brother. Selim III was their elder cousin. Selim III was barren, that's why he treat his cousins nicely and paid attention for their education for future of empire. His revolutionist movements were so important and gave breath to empire but his military movements were not popular amongst traditionalist jannisaries. During Russia war, jannisaries started uprising, he didn't want a civil war and gave the throne to his cousin. It didn't go well, jannisaries killed many new military corp members and it badly effected continuing war. One of Selim III's officer Alemdar Pasha gathered an army from surviving new military corp members and did a counter revolt. He supressed jannisaries and reached royal palace. Selim III was living in semi-imprison in palace and educating his younger cousin Mahmud II. Once Selim III loyalists reached palas ungreatful Mustafa IV gave order to execution of his older cousin Selim III and his younger brother Mahmud II. They killed Selim III but palace servents saved Mahmud II. Alemdar Pasha deposed Mustafa IV and crowned Mahmud II. Later jannisaries killed Alemdar Pasha and tried make Mustafa IV sultan again but this time Mahmud II executed his big brother. Later he destroyed Janniseries. It was a necessary action but a deep blow to Ottoman army, in the end even Kavalalı became more powerful than Ottoman army. If Selim III's revolutionist movements accepted everything could be different. Selim III's mind was ahead of the its time, he was the last hope of empire. His tragic murder was sealed Ottoman's fate.
I completely agree with what you have stated. Selim 3 was the second "Genç Osman" in my opinion. Because he knew what to do. He tried to implement some cruical reforms, he failed and paid it with his life at the end. Generally Selim 3 's efforts are overlooked because Mahmut the 2. is a bigger reformist. However it was Selim to educate and raise Mahmut. Nizam ı cedid was a great idea. It defeated Napoleon and the British in Egypt. It is so sad how Selim failed despite his great efforts and died at the end.

Correction: Napoleon didn't style himself as the liberator of Egypt from the Ottoman Empire. In fact, he did everything to get Ottoman approval for his Egyptian Campaign, which he didnt get. And initially he was spreading the rumor that he had the sultans backing. He styled himself as the liberator of Egypt from Mameluke ill governance and tried to show great respect to the Sultan.
One of the reasons for the weakening of the Ottoman Empire is the lack of allies in Europe. While states such as Austria and Russia could find allies in their wars with the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire was alone outside the Crimean War. States such as the Holy Germanic Austria, Russia, Poland, and Venice joined forces against the Ottoman Empire.
Yes ever since the early 18th century it started falling far behind its two powerful neighbours Russia and Austria/Austria-Hungary, the two empires certainly played a large role in crippling the ottomans throughout the 18th and 19th centuies.

The Ottomans and the Safavids did not form a single alliance throughout their history to confront a common enemy like Russia, for example .. (If Turkey and Iran were united against Russia in the Caucasus, the Russians would have been permanently expelled to their original borders outside the Caucasus region) said one of the Western historians The enmity between the Ottomans and the Safavids greatly harmed both parties, I do not know what this hostility and stupidity made them not ally with each other even though they are Turks ... the Romans and Persians allied against Muslims despite the difference in ethnicity and religion, as well as the Christians despite their different sects, they allied themselves against Muslims
After a bloody history during selim I time they never wanted to get engaged on anything again although iran is ruled by ethic turks but shia - anyway long history.
Many people who evaluate the Ottoman Empire in 1700-1900 missing a very important detail. This big mistake is that the Ottoman-Russian wars are viewed only as a 1v1 war. This is completely wrong. Russia had a tremendous influence over orthodoxes within the Ottoman borders. The Russian army, when the war started, Occupying Ottoman vassal romanian principalities without any resistance and gain a solid position in the north of the Danube River. While all this was happening, the Ottoman army had to divide its troops to fight the Bulgarian and Serbian rebels while trying to reach the front. Moreover, although Russia has a great manpower advantage. This only applies to the 1877-1878 battle. Although the actors changed, Russia could always find allies against the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was able to find these allies only once. (Crimean War) I give you a few links to review the status of the both sides in these wars.

The Russian empire also had a very big muslim minority , the Russian Tatars and the Turkic peoples in Central Asia ( Kazakhs , Turkmens , Uzbeks etc ) , so they had the same problem as the Ottomans.
To be fair the ottomans were like 15 countries and conscripted men from all over the empire which is why they took so many losses in battle but still won in the early days of their empire.

This is supposed to end at 1900 yet it does not show the unification between the principlality of Bulgaria and eastern Rumelia of 1885 which triggered the serbo-bulgarian war, and it shows some Greek and Serb revolts but it does not show the Bulgarian revolt of 1876 which triggered the ruso-turkish war of 1877-1878.
You have forgotten to mention the Convention of Constantinople, signed between the Kingdom of Greece and Ottoman Empire on 2 July 1881 according to which the region of Thessaly and Arta Prefecture (a prefecture within the region of Epirus) were ceded to the Kingdom of Greece. Nice presentation though.
@@zenitelab2482 Well the name of the city from Constantinople to Instanbul was officially changed, under a law which was enacted by the Turkish government, on 28 March 1930. So the Convention of Constantinople to which i am refering to is historically correct (i hold a B.A in History), since the Convention was signed in 1881 before 1930 (even the Treaty of Constantinople in 1913 is known in History as such). For instance the Instanbul Convention of 2011 which guaranteed human rights against domestic violence and violence against women is known as the Convention of Instanbul because it was obviously signed after 1930.

You forgot to mention the brutal manner in which the Ottomans stopped the Bulgarian April Uprising of 1876. This brutality served as grounds for the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878.
Basically it was the Egyptian regular - almost in European standards troops that almost ended the greek revolution but they couldn't keep their gains with most of their fleet destroyed although stubbornly enough some garrisons was refusing to handle their forts to the new greek government and they had to be forced out, creating an diplomatic crisis between Britain and France - since French troops were involved in those operations - the French was supposed to be there as " advisors" for the greek regular army and peacekeepers in the area that is roughly now days central Greece and by no way to move in Peloponnese ( Morea ) 😉
As much as the palaiologos have their issues, the Byzantine restoration after the Latin Empire is every bit as much a continuation of the previous byzantine empire as well as establishing a new Byzantine dynasty. The Palaiologos family were high Byzantine aristocracy before the Latin empire, with Michael VIII Palaiologos (who restored the Byzantine empire in 1261) being a descendant of the Doukas, Komnenos and Angelos Byzantine dynasties. Like Michael’s great-grandfather was the previous Byzantine emperor Alexios Angelos, his grandfather Alexios Palaiologos was the heir-apparent. In an alternate history of no Latin empire, Michael Palaiologos would still have been emperor. The fourth crusade deserves its flak, but it in no way “ended” the byzantines, that claim rests solely with the ottomans.
@@flamingmuffin666 bruh you saying the palaiogos family was competent? hell no. they ruled a dead empire. they lost land to the bulgars and crusaders. then the ottomans put the final nail on the coffin. like even if the ottomans didnt succeed byzantium would fall anyway to some other power. before 1204 they were strong. after that they just stopped being strong. also ottomans and byzantium had a treaty but the byzantines broke it. so they caused it them self. blame byzantium and the crusaders. not the ottomans
@@flamingmuffin666 The Angelos were the Dynasty on the Throne when the Empire ended. The Laskaris who had support from the last Emperor then ruled the Nicean Empire, to say the Palaiologos would have been Emperors otherwise is simply unfounded, false and ignores the families in power. In the 60 years from the fall to the capture. The Culture, Government, Dynasty And ethnicities of the Byzantine People changed. The direct line of continuation from the Roman Empire had ended and the self identification as Hellenes begins to commonly appear. Constantinople is never restored having only a fraction of its population, the Byzantine Senate was not restored, feudalization of the Pronoia would be near complete and the Empire restricted to Greek only lands with a fraction of the Byzantines pre 4th territory. Furthermore Trebizond, Epirus and Bulgaria had legitimacy and claims to the Empire, you only recognize Nicaea cause they took Constantinople. The Roman Empire of the Pre4th would never return.
You missed the reunification of Bulgaria in 1885, plus you consider southern Bulgaria (Eastern Rumelia) to be part of the Ottoman empire, but it was semi-autonomous from 1878 to 1885, when they joined Bulgaria. Also, you missed a ton of events from the Balkans, mainly in Serbia, Bosnia and northern Greece (Macedonia)

1815 was the Second Serbian uprising! Not mentioning the First Serbian Uprising of 1804 - 1813 that was way more spread with large liberated territories is a huge mistake, particularly since the Ottomans lost many troops in that battlefield and were forced to move out of the area. Also some interesting battles were fought on that front like Battle of Mišar, Battle of Ivankovac, Battle of Čegar Hill which are overlooked here...
The Ottomans were late to understand the new trends of nationalism . For instance when the Greeks revolted 200 hundred years ago, the ottoman thought of this as a Russian plan to cause an insurrection of the Rum(Roman) community of the Empire. Essentially the spiritual subjects of the Patriarch of Constantinople. That’s why he was hanged after its outbreak.

The nineteenth was a century of loss for Muslims. As early as in 1808 the Serbs were encouraged to revolt, and by 1830 a Serbia state had been established. In 1821 it was the turn of Greece, encouraged by the music of Byron's poetry, to demand freedom from the Ottomans. Greece became independent in 1833. In the Caucasus, Russia moved into Turkish penumbra. In 1839 Britain occupied Aden to consolidate her control over the sea routes to the jewel in her crown. By 1877 Bulgaria had been given autonomy, Crete won similar terms in 1898(and joined Greece on 1913). The weakness of Constantinople(Istanbul) had gone to the heart. It was in huge external debt and it revenues were being scanned by lenders.
No unification of Bulgaria? Also the province 9f sanjack was part of Austria Hungary till 1908 when Austriia anexed Bosnia and left sanjack to the Turks
In my opinion, what is more interesting is that the reasons of Ottoman stagnation and decline are largely based on the problems of the time it was established: 1. When the Ottoman Empire was founded, the Islamic world was just entering the dark age in scientific terms. Because the Mongols burned the Baghdad library and killed the Muslim scientists. When the books disappeared, scientific knowledge disappeared after a single generation. This resulted in only religious education in madrasahs instead of teaching science and religion together. Fearing science, the clergy formed. 2. During this period, Europeans in Andalusia translated Islamic works into their own languages. Thus, before science disappeared, it began to spread throughout Europe during the Renaissance. Thus, Europe scientifically began to exit from the dark age. Soon Spanish Kingdoms destroyed Andalusia. Thus, schools that teach science in the Islamic world could never develop again until modern times(Selim III). 3. Geographical discoveries and colonization enriched Europe economically. The change of trade routes weakened the Ottoman Empire economically. These led to a decline in military technology and internal economic revolts. Thus, the Ottoman Empire began to lose wars. In the early period, only Turks had rebelled against the Ottoman government. (Jalalli rebellions) The nationalism that emerged with the French Revolution and the arming and provocation of the Christians in the Ottoman by foreign countries such as Russia caused the first great Christian revolts in the Ottoman Empire. Because the Ottoman was tolerant of Christians, there had been no major Christian revolts before. The difficulty of the Ottoman Sultan in suppressing the rebellions and the loss of land prepared the ground for the Young Turk uprising. The Sultan was overthrown by a coup. However, partial democracy and the Young Turk government were not enough to suppress the uprisings either. The Ottoman empire fell apart.
That's bullshit lol. Scientific knowledge came from classical greek and roman ideas, not islam, that's why it's called renaissance because it's the rebirth of classical ideas. This all happened because Greek scholars escaped byzantine to Italy after it fell.

Correction, Mahmud II is not Selim III's brother he is actually Mustafa IV's little brother. Selim III was their elder cousin. Selim III was barren, that's why he treat his cousins nicely and paid attention for their education for future of empire. His revolutionist movements were so important and gave breath to empire but his military movements were not popular amongst traditionalist jannisaries. During Russia war, jannisaries started uprising, he didn't want a civil war and gave the throne to his cousin. It didn't go well, jannisaries killed many new military corp members and it badly effected continuing war. One of Selim III's officer Alemdar Pasha gathered an army from surviving new military corp members and did a counter revolt. He supressed jannisaries and reached royal palace. Selim III was living in semi-imprison in palace and educating his younger cousin Mahmud II. Once Selim III loyalists reached palas ungreatful Mustafa IV gave order to execution of his older cousin Selim III and his younger brother Mahmud II. They killed Selim III but palace servents saved Mahmud II. Alemdar Pasha deposed Mustafa IV and crowned Mahmud II. Later jannisaries killed Alemdar Pasha and tried make Mustafa IV sultan again but this time Mahmud II executed his big brother. Later he destroyed Janniseries. It was a necessary action but a deep blow to Ottoman army, in the end even Kavalalı became more powerful than Ottoman army. If Selim III's revolutionist movements accepted everything could be different. Selim III's mind was ahead of the its time, he was the last hope of empire. His tragic murder was sealed Ottoman's fate.
I completely agree with what you have stated. Selim 3 was the second "Genç Osman" in my opinion. Because he knew what to do. He tried to implement some cruical reforms, he failed and paid it with his life at the end. Generally Selim 3 's efforts are overlooked because Mahmut the 2. is a bigger reformist. However it was Selim to educate and raise Mahmut. Nizam ı cedid was a great idea. It defeated Napoleon and the British in Egypt. It is so sad how Selim failed despite his great efforts and died at the end.

its pretty amazing to see foreign sources with unbiased history hat of to you guys.
One of the reasons for the weakening of the Ottoman Empire is the lack of allies in Europe. While states such as Austria and Russia could find allies in their wars with the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire was alone outside the Crimean War. States such as the Holy Germanic Austria, Russia, Poland, and Venice joined forces against the Ottoman Empire.
The question is why couldn’t they find allies especially exploiting the catholic Protestant rift

This is completely wrong.
Russia had a tremendous influence over orthodoxes within the Ottoman borders. The Russian army, when the war started, Occupying Ottoman vassal romanian principalities without any resistance and gain a solid position in the north of the Danube River.
While all this was happening, the Ottoman army had to divide its troops to fight the Bulgarian and Serbian rebels while trying to reach the front. Moreover, although Russia has a great manpower advantage.
This only applies to the 1877-1878 battle.
Although the actors changed, Russia could always find allies against the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was able to find these allies only once.

The Palaiologos family were high Byzantine aristocracy before the Latin empire, with Michael VIII Palaiologos (who restored the Byzantine empire in 1261) being a descendant of the Doukas, Komnenos and Angelos Byzantine dynasties.
Like Michael’s great-grandfather was the previous Byzantine emperor Alexios Angelos, his grandfather Alexios Palaiologos was the heir-apparent. In an alternate history of no Latin empire, Michael Palaiologos would still have been emperor.
The fourth crusade deserves its flak, but it in no way “ended” the byzantines, that claim rests solely with the ottomans.
@@flamingmuffin666 bruh you saying the palaiogos family was competent? hell no. they ruled a dead empire. they lost land to the bulgars and crusaders. then the ottomans put the final nail on the coffin. like even if the ottomans didnt succeed byzantium would fall anyway to some other power. before 1204 they were strong. after that they just stopped being strong. also ottomans and byzantium had a treaty but the byzantines broke it. so they caused it them self. blame byzantium and the crusaders. not the ottomans
@@flamingmuffin666 The Angelos were the Dynasty on the Throne when the Empire ended. The Laskaris who had support from the last Emperor then ruled the Nicean Empire, to say the Palaiologos would have been Emperors otherwise is simply unfounded, false and ignores the families in power.
In the 60 years from the fall to the capture. The Culture, Government, Dynasty And ethnicities of the Byzantine People changed. The direct line of continuation from the Roman Empire had ended and the self identification as Hellenes begins to commonly appear.
Constantinople is never restored having only a fraction of its population, the Byzantine Senate was not restored, feudalization of the Pronoia would be near complete and the Empire restricted to Greek only lands with a fraction of the Byzantines pre 4th territory.
Furthermore Trebizond, Epirus and Bulgaria had legitimacy and claims to the Empire, you only recognize Nicaea cause they took Constantinople.
The Roman Empire of the Pre4th would never return.
Nice video
Bulgaria after 1885 was larger than presented ,with territory south of the balkan mountain as well.Great video
ottomans: i discovered muskets!
rest of the world: **stares in subatomic laser rifle**
You missed the reunification of Bulgaria in 1885, plus you consider southern Bulgaria (Eastern Rumelia) to be part of the Ottoman empire, but it was semi-autonomous from 1878 to 1885, when they joined Bulgaria. Also, you missed a ton of events from the Balkans, mainly in Serbia, Bosnia and northern Greece (Macedonia)
At the battle of navarino , you forget to mention that the sultan also called the governor of Algéria for help, because after losing the battle france took the opportunity to occupy algeria, because Algeria Lost all it's fleet during that battle, and couldn't defend itself

That's why your nation recognized the Armenian genocide? Your nation is a double faced state, don't you dare to complain about turks
@@axiosw0774 yeah but u must say that genocide happened, u cant hide history it just happened even germans dont hide holocaust happened, japaneese dont hide nanking genocide so why are u hiding, everyone knows it happened u cant hide it, there are ottoman documents and photos about it, if u will hide history u will never learn bc we learn from history
@@iwantsomecheesburgers
Why on earth would you assume I'm a denialist? I said Georgia the country that the guy above is - is a denialist country despite wanting to claim sympathy for being subjugated for his people, same as Israel - denialist country despite being a subject to the holocaust the very definition of genocide which was written after the Armenian genocide, but they want power they want to be the only recognized people that suffered by injustice. I can't like both of these countries, they are fake and deduct dirty politics, in case of Georgia, they did not learn their historical lesson
I question myself whether I can even call that nation a Christian, just and democratic nation
Georgia is still a Christian country with their own language and culture ,so subjugation ain't so bad
And ironically a Georgian man ended up becoming the most powerful man person in the entire Soviet Union.

Greece paid a hefty price for its independence, Thousands died in order to take back some of what rightfully theirs to begin with. However even today as we speak Turkey is desperately trying to revive old empty aspirations of a new empire, by been a recalcitrant neighbour, to some countries around it.
Literally all countries would love to boost their influence as much as they can in anywhere they can. Some countries are capable of it and some aren't, it's as simple as that.
Many countries paid a hefty price to get independence from the British but the video isn't about them, even if it was about them I doubt you'd have a problem with that.
@TheKingimport ok and?no one invited them in with war they cane with war they left
@Ali İhsan Sabis turks have always been the aggressor in this relationship
Don't have time to watch just came to drop the like, I will see it another day.
There is a word of an historian. The Ottomans did not declined, Europe went too fast forward.
@Вхламинго Some govermental systems didnt functioned like the early times but the main Ottoman story is they didnt developed fast like Europeans. They stuck at 17-18th century. So thats why Ottomans collapsed in a very short summary.
@Вхламинго Thats what i am talking about. They didnt catch up level of the west, so they couldn't compete with them and lost so many wars because of this.
they were the first to use gunpowder weapons giving them a huge advantage against European powers however when they modernized the ottoman empire was late to do that and thus were no longer as strong as the once were
Decent video but you have so many ads it makes me want to get an ad blocker type RUclipsr I would donate to if there wasn’t so many ads like I’ve had three ads and what three minutes
Sultan Abdulhamid ii, a great ruler he was, against all odds extended the empires life for another 30 years... until the revolution and everything went to waste.
@Kokoro Shimamura really you mean reducing the empires debt by 90%??? The ottomans had 250billion liras of debt but when he was overthrown it was almost finished...
Vex was always a game I saw on the shelf when I worked at Blockbuster & I always wrote it off. Seems like I would've liked it back in the day, & even now.

Nobody cares
@@bastykino5357 nobody asked
@Tigran Abazyan Pretty much.
Mahmut II did not ascend to the throne by hisself, he was enthroned by Alemdar Mustafa Pasha, who was the supporter of Selim III and his reforms.
1815 was the Second Serbian uprising! Not mentioning the First Serbian Uprising of 1804 - 1813 that was way more spread with large liberated territories is a huge mistake, particularly since the Ottomans lost many troops in that battlefield and were forced to move out of the area. Also some interesting battles were fought on that front like Battle of Mišar, Battle of Ivankovac, Battle of Čegar Hill which are overlooked here...
That brings me joy
The Ottomans were late to understand the new trends of nationalism . For instance when the Greeks revolted 200 hundred years ago, the ottoman thought of this as a Russian plan to cause an insurrection of the Rum(Roman) community of the Empire. Essentially the spiritual subjects of the Patriarch of Constantinople. That’s why he was hanged after its outbreak.
It was russian plan,lol
Nice video.
You need to read a bit more.
The principality of Serbia existed earlier and you didn't mention the 1876 Bulgarian uprising!
If the ottomans were not oppressive genociders and were actually a secular free religion state , they could have survived.
@Shaban Ahmad Never said that they were Islamic. But yes they discriminated religion and committed atrocities against other religions.
Thankx we got this chennal alot of information about the past events
The ottomans just couldn't catch a break.
It came around.
@Kokoro Shimamura personally I think it started in the early 1700s, the Europeans had simply outpaced them both economically and militarily
@@danirey425 Very true.
I mean apparently they could of had a 30 year break against russia but violated that agreement.. perhaps if they didnt do that they could of managed to reform and modernize a bit more.

Hey just a note! 🇬🇷🇬🇷The Greek flag is a white cross on a blue background. 🇬🇷🇬🇷The one you’re using resembles more to the Finish flag. 🇫🇮🇫🇮
That was the contemporary flag, a blue cross on a white background. modern Greek flag is used since late 1960s.
@@anastasiosvervantidis2026 the blue cross on a white background was one of the early variations used by some revolutionaries.
The 1st National Assembly of Epidaurus (1821-1822) that voted the 1st constitution decided on the colors of the flag being blue and white and gave the task of deciding the form of the flag to the executive brunch of the 1st government.
They concluded in March 1822 that the army should raise a square flag of blue background with a white cross on it and the navy should raise a flag similar to the modern Greek flag.

Didn't they have a crown on there flag when there were a kingdom
@@aminaramzan6312 yes the royal family’s insignia was added during their reign 😊
@@aminaramzan6312 during the revolution 1821-1830 there was no king, the king was brought by the big powers, so during the revolution it was only the blue cross on the white flag, after WW2 Greece had the same flag but with the crown because it was a kingdom, in 1967 the king was ousted by a military coup, this regeme changed the flag to its today form.it is a cross and nine blue white stripes, each stripe represents a syllable of the national motto "ελευθερία ή θάνατος" which means freedom or death.
The nineteenth was a century of loss for Muslims. As early as in 1808 the Serbs were encouraged to revolt, and by 1830 a Serbia state had been established. In 1821 it was the turn of Greece, encouraged by the music of Byron's poetry, to demand freedom from the Ottomans. Greece became independent in 1833. In the Caucasus, Russia moved into Turkish penumbra. In 1839 Britain occupied Aden to consolidate her control over the sea routes to the jewel in her crown. By 1877 Bulgaria had been given autonomy, Crete won similar terms in 1898(and joined Greece on 1913). The weakness of Constantinople(Istanbul) had gone to the heart. It was in huge external debt and it revenues were being scanned by lenders.
No unification of Bulgaria? Also the province 9f sanjack was part of Austria Hungary till 1908 when Austriia anexed Bosnia and left sanjack to the Turks
Just started RUclips and found this video. Here before it was out for even a minute :)
In my opinion, what is more interesting is that the reasons of Ottoman stagnation and decline are largely based on the problems of the time it was established:
1. When the Ottoman Empire was founded, the Islamic world was just entering the dark age in scientific terms. Because the Mongols burned the Baghdad library and killed the Muslim scientists. When the books disappeared, scientific knowledge disappeared after a single generation. This resulted in only religious education in madrasahs instead of teaching science and religion together. Fearing science, the clergy formed.
2. During this period, Europeans in Andalusia translated Islamic works into their own languages. Thus, before science disappeared, it began to spread throughout Europe during the Renaissance. Thus, Europe scientifically began to exit from the dark age. Soon Spanish Kingdoms destroyed Andalusia. Thus, schools that teach science in the Islamic world could never develop again until modern times(Selim III).
3. Geographical discoveries and colonization enriched Europe economically. The change of trade routes weakened the Ottoman Empire economically.
These led to a decline in military technology and internal economic revolts. Thus, the Ottoman Empire began to lose wars. In the early period, only Turks had rebelled against the Ottoman government. (Jalalli rebellions)
The nationalism that emerged with the French Revolution and the arming and provocation of the Christians in the Ottoman by foreign countries such as Russia caused the first great Christian revolts in the Ottoman Empire. Because the Ottoman was tolerant of Christians, there had been no major Christian revolts before. The difficulty of the Ottoman Sultan in suppressing the rebellions and the loss of land prepared the ground for the Young Turk uprising. The Sultan was overthrown by a coup. However, partial democracy and the Young Turk government were not enough to suppress the uprisings either. The Ottoman empire fell apart.
That's bullshit lol. Scientific knowledge came from classical greek and roman ideas, not islam, that's why it's called renaissance because it's the rebirth of classical ideas. This all happened because Greek scholars escaped byzantine to Italy after it fell.
