The Ottoman Empire expanded by conquering territory from neighboring states. In some cases, such as the Byzantine Empire (and all of its Despotates), the Sultante of Rum, the Empire of Trebizond, the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, and several Balkans States, were entirely consumeed by the Ottoman Empire. Others such as the Hungarian Empire and Romania were not entirely conquered but lost some lands.
European imperialist powers sought to take over Ottoman Empire lands primarily for strategic, economic, and geopolitical reasons. The decline of the Ottoman Empire created opportunities for expansion, allowing European nations to gain access to valuable resources, trade routes, and new markets.
