Ottoman Empire, after 1700s had to maintain status quo for falling technologicaly and economicaly apart from European counterparts. Diplomaticaly it could have lost its existence long time ago if England and France did not prevent Russia from further advancing. However at the last times of the empire English left supporting and Italy invaded Tripoli, at that time with Russian support Balkan Wars began which was probably the greatest defeat of Ottoman Empire, by the countries it ruled for 4 centuries directly or as vassals. As nobody wanted to ally with Ottoman Empire, Germany was only country that was interested in allying. Great German aid was made, in both army and industry. Construction of Istanbul-Baghdad railroad was also maintained by German industry. Under this pro-German aids Ottoman Empire sought to gain its old power, at least on Balkans, which was so close to its capital and were highly populated by Turkish population.

Note: By the Ottoman official records 2,5 million immigrants came from newly founded countries which is a real high number as Turkish population of Ottoman Empire was about 10 millions before WW1.

What was the role of women in the Ottoman Empire.?

Ottoman Apologist AnswerIn Ottoman Empire, women were cared for so much. Maybe you heard like women didn't go out because it was banned for women. No it wasn't like that completely. In 1800s and 1900s until 1930s women in big cities wore veil etc. I said "BIG CITIES" not in other small cities or villages.Also men wasn't treating women badly and women weren't doing anything except sitting at home. No, women had special places called "Şırahane"-as far as I remember where they sat and spent their time with each other.Ottoman Critical AnswerAs the above answer demonstrates, a woman's place in the Ottoman Empire was to manage the household and to socialize in women's only places like Şırahane. Women in the Ottoman Era did not have the right to work in a profession, the right to freely marry and divorce (or remain single indefinitely), and did not have the right of movement. The fact that it was less repressive than other Islamic Societies is little comfort to Ottoman Women. Especially in the late 1800s and early 1900s, women in Western Europe and Anglo-America had more rights.
