The Ottoman Empire has always been been an imperial power as opposed to a colonial power, so while it has had periods of expansion (with numerous former kingdoms in its empires), it has never had colonies. As for what happened in these culturally distinct imperial territories, this depends entirely on the period. In the 19th and 20th centuries nearly all of them rose up against the Ottoman Empire and desired to form nation-states or more localized monarchies.
