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. Additionally, controlling these territories would enhance their military and political influence in the region, particularly in the context of rivalries among European powers. The desire to spread Western culture and political ideologies also motivated imperial ambitions in these lands.

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.


What is Bulgaria's historical connection to the Ottoman Empire?

Bulgaria was occupied by the Ottoman Empire from 1396-1878 and fought with Central Powers in World War I (like the Ottoman Empire). Bulgaria still has a large Muslim and Turkish minority.
