European expansion and rivalries

undermining the Ottoman Empire
0:10
the rise of European States during the
0:13
early modern period had a profound
0:14
impact on the decline of the Ottoman
0:17
Empire as new powers emerged fortified
0:20
by economic Prosperity technological
0:22
advances and Colonial expansion the
0:25
Ottomans found themselves increasingly
0:27
beleaguered the geopolitical landscape
0:30
of the time punctuated by the ascendancy
0:32
of formidable European Empires like the
0:35
Habsburg Empire and Russia pose direct
0:37
challenges to ottoman territorial
0:40
the discovery of sea routes to Asia and
0:43
the new world further marginalized the
0:45
Empire's economic significance 1. the
0:48
Habsburg threat the ottoman Habsburg
0:51
rivalry spanned several centuries
0:53
featuring numerous military
0:54
confrontations however the power
0:57
dynamics between the two empires shifted
0:59
gradually during the 16th century the
1:02
Ottomans posed a significant threat to
1:04
the habsburgs epitomized by the ottoman
1:06
sieges of Vienna but as the Habsburg
1:09
Empire Consolidated its power
1:11
particularly in the 17th and 18th
1:13
centuries it began to challenge the
1:15
Ottomans more effectively
1:17
this was partly due to the Habsburg
1:19
strategic alliances with other European
1:22
powers and partly because of their
1:24
military modernization which outpaced
1:26
the ottoman's own efforts
1:28
2. the Russian Factor Russia emerged as
1:31
another potent rival that consistently
1:34
sought to chip away at ottoman
1:35
territories the russo-turkish wars in
1:38
the 18th and 19th centuries were
1:41
devastating for the Ottoman Empire
1:43
Russia's aspirations to access warm
1:46
water ports made the ottoman-controlled
1:48
Black Sea a constant Battleground
1:50
defeats at the hands of Russia resulted
1:52
in significant territorial losses and
1:55
severely weakened the ottoman military
1:57
3. technological and tactical
2:00
disparities the ottoman's military
2:02
technology and tactics which had once
2:04
been Cutting Edge began to lag behind
2:07
those of European powers the European
2:09
States adapted newer military
2:10
Technologies and developed more
2:13
effective tactical doctrines often
2:15
learning from their colonial Endeavors
2:17
the Ottomans constrained by
2:19
technological stagnation and internal
2:21
issues couldn't keep up rendering them
2:23
increasingly vulnerable in
2:25
confrontations with European rivals 4.
2:28
the discovery of sea Roots the Age of
2:31
Exploration led by European Maritime
2:33
powers like Spain and Portugal altered
2:36
global trade Dynamics the discovery of
2:38
sea routes to Asia and the new world
2:40
undermined the ottoman Empire's economic
2:42
stronghold the Empire had previously
2:45
benefited from its control over
2:47
land-based trade routes particularly
2:49
those linking Europe and Asia the
2:52
maritime shift meant that Goods could
2:54
bypass ottoman-controlled territories
2:56
leading to a significant loss of Revenue
2:59
this economic setback weakened the
3:01
Empire's ability to finance military
3:03
campaigns and internal reforms
3:07
5. colonialism and resource influx
3:11
European colonialism had another
3:13
indirect but profound impact on the
3:16
the vast wealth flowing into Europe from
3:19
colonies enriched European States
3:21
enabling them to invest in military
3:23
technology and infrastructural
3:26
development the Ottomans without such
3:28
Colonial revenue streams founded
3:30
increasingly difficult to match European
3:33
powers in Military and economic
3:35
capabilities 6. diplomatic isolation
3:39
as European powers grew stronger they
3:41
also became more cohesive in their
3:43
diplomatic efforts to contain ottoman
3:47
treaties often sideline the Ottomans and
3:50
diplomatic alliances were formed to
3:52
counter ottoman military campaigns this
3:55
isolation left the Empire with fewer
3:57
allies and made it susceptible to
3:59
multi-front conflicts further straining
4:01
its already limited resources
4:06
7. European ideas and nationalism
4:11
the spread of European ideas like
4:13
nationalism also disrupted the ottoman
4:16
Empire's internal cohesion various
4:18
ethnic and religious groups within the
4:20
Empire became influenced by European
4:22
concepts of nationhood leading to
4:24
internal revolts and demands for
4:26
autonomy this ideological encroachment
4:29
added another layer of complexity to the
4:31
Empire's declining stability
4:36
in summary the rise of European powers
4:38
played a pivotal role in the decline of
4:42
the ascendancy of the Habsburg Empire
4:44
and Russia presented direct military
4:47
challenges made more acute by the
4:49
Ottomans lagging military capabilities
4:51
the shift in global trade routes due to
4:54
European Maritime discoveries eroded the
4:57
economic base of the Empire the
4:59
resources and ideas flowing into Europe
5:01
from Colonial expansion and the
5:03
enlightenment further widened the gap
5:05
between Europe and the Ottoman Empire
5:07
both materially and ideologically
5:10
thus the ottoman decline can be seen as
5:13
part of a broader realignment of power
5:15
in the world where European States
5:17
ascended at the expense of older Empires
5:20
constrained by economic technological
5:22
and diplomatic factors the Ottoman
5:25
Empire could not adapt to the rapidly
5:27
changing geopolitical landscape leading
5:29
to its eventual dissolution
