From the 1500s to the 1800s, the Ottoman Empire's relationship with the West shifted from one of relative strength and dominance to a more precarious position of decline. In the 16th century, the Ottomans were a formidable power, engaging in trade and military conflicts with European states. However, by the 19th century, they faced significant territorial losses and increasing Western intervention, leading to a perception of the empire as the "sick man of Europe." This period saw rising nationalist movements within the empire and a growing reliance on European powers for military and economic support.

The Ottoman Empire joined forces with the Central Entente Axis Allied powers during World War1?

The Ottoman Empire has formed various alliances with European States during its long existence. During the early European Conquests, the territories of Moldavia and Wallachia (in what is now Romania) became vassals of the Ottoman Empire. France also had a longstanding alliance with the Ottoman Empire (1500s-1800s) since both Empires opposed the Hapsburg Emperors of Austria and Spain. The British joined this alliance in 1852 to prevent Russian expansion into the Ukraine during the Crimean War. As France and Britain promoted self-determination in the Balkans, especially Greece, the Franco-Turkish Alliance dimmed. In the years before World War I, the Ottoman Empire had good relations with Germany and Austria-Hungary, eventually creating an alliance with those powers and joining the Central Powers in that war.
