What Ended the Ottomans? | The Fall of the Ottoman Empire

What ended the Ottoman Empire?
For centuries, the Ottoman Turks dominated much of the Middle East and Southern Europe, but by 1914 their empire was on its last legs, and in the aftermath of WW1 the Sultanate collapsed and was replaced by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's Republic of Turkey. Though the Ottoman Sultans weren't blind to the fact that their empire was declining-frankly, everyone else had noticed too-and they took several steps, most notably the Tanzimāt reforms, in an attempt to save themselves.

You should of pointed out that when the Europeans found new trade routes to asia that was basically the beginning of the end for the ottomans Because the silk road was not needed which generated a lot of wealth for the ottomans and basically eventually led to the ottomans becoming irrelevant in all right

[@ekesandras1481]

when the Portuguese reached the Persian Gulf from the other side and even threatened them in the Red Sea, the Ottoman trade model had basically gone worthless within a single moment. As a side effect also the trade model of Venice and Genoa had become worthless. The Portuguese managed to reroute the whole trade with India, Indochina, China and East Africa towards the Cape of Good Hope and further to Lisbon. By that they also killed the silk road and the whole Islamic world, from North Africa to Central Asia drifted into economic decline and later total economic insignificance. With coffee and sugar cane planted in the Caribbean and Brazil even that trade was lost for the Islamic world. Later cotton from the Americas did the rest.

Ottaman : In the 18 the century, the Ottoman Empire began to establish permanent diplomatic missions in London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. As a result of these contacts all things Turkish became exotic, not least the dress fashion, “turquoisie”. Sultans and pashas were often portrayed as noble and enlightened people in contrast to European rulers. At the Prussian and Saxon courts, feasts, processions and weddings were held á laTurc and Turkish manners became a way for the upper classes to distance themselves from common people. Turkish kiosks were erected in Swedish manorial parks too and Gustav III built a Turkish pavilion at Haga Park. In the 18 th century, Ignatius Mouradgea, a translator (dragoman) of Armenian origin at the Swedish Embassy in Istanbul, contributed to spreading knowledge and a positive image of Turkey in Europe through his encyclopaedic volume entitled Tableau Général de l’Empire Ottoman. He was later knighted by Gustav III acquiring the name d’Ohsson and was for a time head of the Embassy in Istanbul. Turkish Janissary music inspired among others Mozart and Schubert to compose music à la turca. And with the age of enlightenment and Romanticism there was increased interest in the exotic and greater tolerance of and curiosity about other religions and cultures, which was reflected in the image of the Turk who now came to be regarded in many quarters as the “noble savage”.

According to most historians, the decline of the Ottoman Empire began in 1683 when they failed to capture Vienna. Even after Lepanto in 1571,there was still some expansion of the Ottoman Empire. Was it the aggressive expansion before Lepanto? No,but there was still expansion. Vienna in 1683 pretty much put the brakes on Ottoman expansion in Europe for good

[@colindaniels945]

The proposed Bulgaria, following the Treaty Of San Stefano,was a bridge too far for the powers of Europe: 1. France,Britain, and probably the Ottomans didn't want Russia to have access to the Mediterranean Sea as they feared it would make Russia a threat in North Africa. 2. Austria-Hungary was against it because they feared it gave Russia too much influence in the Balkans.

[@afinoxi]

It's important to note that the economic capitulations given to European powers and the shifting of the trade routes caused the Ottoman economy to absolutely crash. It is one of the main reasons as to why the empire's power had diminished. The janissaries only started out as a solely European slave force, later on Turks started to push their children to join the corps as well. Also, you shouldn't have included Hatay as part of the map when you said Arab World etc as it is Turkish.

I would honestly cite 1683, when the Ottomans failed for a second time to capture Vienna,as the true start of their decline. I'll argue that the period from 1571, after Lepanto,to 1683, before the second attempt to take Vienna, as a period of stagnant expansion. What I mean by that is even during the period I referred to earlier,the Ottomans were still expanding, just not at the aggressive level they were prior to Lepanto.

They were not called Caliphs, they tried to claim the title, only two actually tried to claim it, but there's no solid historical ceremonies of such important title being transformed to them. They themselves called themselves Sultans. Two called themselves caliphs just for a political game nothing more.

[@youravaragetoxicmasculinem9508]

They ''were'' Calips and did not just claim it, Ottoman Empire was the last great age for Islam, Calpihate is not something that passes through ceremonies, a caliph is a person charged with being the imam of the Muslims and the guardian of the Shari'a and Sultans of the Ottoman Empire was exactly that, to be honest there wasn't even a closer nation to claim the title.

[@zgoodt]

​@@youravaragetoxicmasculinem9508 They were not in any way representatives of the true faith, they were SUFIS, they didn't even do Hajj. they ruined the Islamic world and lead to its demise and fall into corruption, diseases, and the disappearance of knowledge. They didn't call themselves Caliphs, they called themselves sultans, except for two cunts, one Selim the horrible who invaded Egypt and the levant and his armies burnt down libraries, and committed massacres similar to that the Mongols did in Baghdad, and the second one was Abdulhamid the second when he was facing Russia, trying to provoke the Muslims within Russian lands to join him. If that title was easily claimed, why didn't every single Muslim sultan/king claim to be caliph of their own respective group??? MAMLUKS who were the protectors of the Abbasid Caliphate and hosted the Caliph in Cairo after the fall of Baghdad, never ever claimed that title nor even tried to take it from the Abbasid Caliph, heck they even tried to reestablish the Abbasid Caliphate again in Baghdad. The Ottomans are the one and only reason the Muslim world is no longer in its former glory, and they are the main and the only reason why the title of Caliph is no longer that important, because they destroyed it with their brutal invasion of the levant and then Egypt. Now look at the descendants of the ottomans, allying themselves with Israel, are members of the NATO, and helped destroy Syria, Iraq and Libya. they even tried to ruin Egypt AGAIN. Never have I ever witnessed a nation so arrogant and so full of itself such as the ottomans, and they were and are still very racist and envious of the Arabs specifically.

[@MH-jg6vk]

A bit of a let down to ignore the achievements of the Ottoman Empire from 1878-1908 under sultan Abdulhamid ii. The longest reigning ottoman sultan in the late period doesn’t get any attention: How he managed to save the empire for another 30 years during a time of war and fragility is remarkable . He built railroads , schools, hospitals, military academies paid off 90% of the £200,000,000 ottoman debt which had ravaged the empire since 1880 and earlier as well as single handedly defeated Greece in 1897. Formed a strong alliance with Germany as well as invested a lot on the army through the German Krupp company. The moment he is dethroned by the young Turks the empire collapses within 10 years.

Here is my take on the matter of Sultans being Caliph, Ottoman sultans rarely referred to themselves as Caliphs unless they needed to galvanize muslim population around them because they know they can’t be Caliphs since they are not of Quraysh Tribe which prophet Mohammed to belongs to and he declared that rulers should be from that specific Tribe. Thats why ISIS in an effort to gain legitimacy, they appoint their “Caliph” from a supposed Qurayshi linage. Moreover, Ottomans are actually the ones who ended Caliphate from at least theoretical standpoint since Last Abassite de Jure Caliph was captured by Ottomans and forced to relinquish his honorary powers to them, so after that point, No defacto muslim ruler needed approval of a phony Caliph.

However, this is as a tradition from the Medieval Eras, of conquering Emperors and rulers, not just Ottomans, but everyone back then, collecting the titles. Thus, after the conquest of Constantinople, Mehmed II "Fatih" took on the name of Kayser-i-Rum, in that tradition. But Ottoman sultans had many other titles they held simultaneously - Sultan (denoting both "de facto" {although with a war with Karaman} inherited Seljuk crown and the later added by conquest Ayyubid crown of Baghdad and "Sham" (Levant)), Shah of All (Padishah), King of all Vojvode, Shah of Shahs, Caliph of Muslims, and oldest of the titles they held and often put at the end of their entire nomer, Khan.

The ottomans absolutely were imperialist. I’m not even sure how you could make that claim.

[@cerebrummaximus3762]

1. The Death of Suleiman left the empire out of its golden age of culture. 2. Holy League's coalition against the Ottoman navy left them weakened. Not necessarily weak, just stagnated progress post--Golden age. The Ottomans did briefly manage to hold onto their lands, but: 3. Ottoman empire was diverse, and contained many peoples that were conquered and didn't want to be, so: 4. The Ottoman Empire gave diverse in ethnic or religious region some autonomy. This was good, however made the Empire decentralised and with some regions having too much unique power, it was hard to govern. 5-6. Many Ottoman leaders also had the tendency to seize a lot of power for themselves. As you said, the empire was built on tax revenue, so if it reached a natural border, desert, or foreign power, ability to extend, specifically into places that tax revenue can be gained began to be limited. 7. After 1768-74 Russo-Turkish war, huge consequences were met, and the Ottomans, who were having trouble balancing already, were pushed off of the limit. Post--loss of Crimea and Greece, it was clear Ottomans were losing might against Europeans. Eastern Question!

That's not the Hagia Sophia.

The shown building is the Blue mosque. If you watched closely instead of talking Bs then you might notice something

[@cerebrummaximus3762]

That was the good choice. Imagine if they had knocked down the Church. Instead of destroying history, beauty, religion and culture, they repurposed it. The one good thing they did.

It's the Blue Mosque. Occidental dunning-krugerism at its finest.
