As the Ottomans had a huge land they normally spread their religion to there. They didn't force people to be Muslims directly however by getting more taxes from non-Muslims they indirectly forced people under their control to be Muslims. That is why there are some Muslim countries in Africa and in Europe (in Europe there was no prior county with a Muslim-majority population).
For example, Bosnians and Albanians were Christians; and most of them had converted to Islam; while the Greeks and Bulgarians are still Christians.
The Ottoman Empire tried to resist European Trade and Culture but were not terribly effective in doing either, especially at resisting European Culture.
The rise of the Ottoman Empire cut off any European direct connection with East Asia. Therefore, in order to continue trading with East Asia without trading with the Muslims, the Europeans would need to find other routes to East Asia. The search for these routes culminated with the Age of Exploration.

Most European countries thought that the Ottoman Empire was in its death throes. As Russian, English, and French empires expanded in the 19th century, that expansion came at the expense of the Ottoman Empire which continued to contract.
Incompetent leadership.

As the Ottoman Empire expanded in size, it become more difficult for a centralized power to control all aspects of the empire. One consequence of this was that local leaders gained more autonomy, and made decisions that were not in the interest of the empire. The Ottoman Empire was in existence from 1299 to 1923.

Europeans had to find new trade routes to the East because the Ottoman Empire controlled and taxed existing routes.
