Why do they call Greece Greece?
The Greeks called and still call themselves Hellenes.
They overpopulated their small and poor country, and the city states sent out their surplus populations into colonies around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Some colonies were established in Italy (Naples = Nea Polis, new city, Tarentum, Sybaris, Croton etc plus plenty in Sicily).
In their expansion down the Italian Peninsula in the 4th and 3rd Centuries BCE, the Romans encountered a Latin tribe called the Graeci. As they went further they ran into the Greek cities at the bottom of Italy, and thinking them to be a lot more of the Graeci tribe, called them the Magna Graeci.
The word Graeci (anglicised to 'Greek') was erroneously extended to the home country and people of the widespread Hellenic colonies, and the word Greek has stuck.

What is the relationship between the Greeks and the ottoman empire?
The Ottoman Empire conquered Greece in the 1300s and 1400s and Greece only broke free in a century of wars from 1821 until 1923. During those roughly five centuries of occupation, Greek culture and religion (Greek Orthodox Christianity) were sublimated and repressed. As a result, Greek Independence was mainly cast as a revolt against Ottoman identity, culture, and religion, creating a high degree of antagonism between Greeks and Turks (the dominant Ottoman ethnic group). The last two decades of the wars between the Greeks and Turks resulted in the Pontic Greek Genocide, where Turks murdered 500,000 Greeks who lived in Anatolia, and a number of Greek massacres of Turks, especially near Smyrna (modern-day Izmir).
