  1. The fall of the Ottoman Empire was inevitable, based on its technological backwardness. The only real surprise is that it wasn't straight up conquered by one of the Western European powers. Arguably, this would have been a humanitarian triumph, as it would have prevented the Armenian Genocide during WWI and the Anatolian Greek genocide afterwards. Saying it was anything other than the "sick man of Europe" is pure revisionism. Extra History, you're better than that.
