The Baltic states, the Ottoman empire and the Italian city-states were the 3 principal political entities in central and eastern Europe in the mid-seventeenth century. The Ottoman empire dissolved in 1923.
The slavs were a separate community scattered over many countries of Europe.The pan- slav movement was a movement encouraged by Russian czar to increase their hold over the Balkan states once these states became free from the ottoman Empire. In Austria-Hungry the slavs were also residing who were against Austria as well.This created bad blood between Russia and Austria as their iintrests clashed so as the Balkan states were concerned.This led to the conflict between Russia and Austria.

The Serbs gained limited self-government in the Ottoman Empire.
Poland, Hungary, and the Czech lands were independent kingdoms within the Habsburg Empire, whereas Balkan states were part of the Ottoman Empire. Poland and Hungary were elective monarchies, while the Czech lands had a nobility-dominated society. Additionally, the Czech lands had a strong tradition of Protestantism compared to the primarily Orthodox Balkan states.
The Ottoman Empire was a Sunni Islamic Theocratic Empire. Its main opponents were Christian states, although it also opposed a number of Islamic States.

(Not "now" exactly, but I trust you understand my meaning.) The Central Powers were: Bulgaria The Ottoman Empire The German Empire The Austro-Hungarian Empire
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.
In the early 1800s, a growing sense of nationalism in Eastern Europe fueled the desire for independence from imperial control, particularly among the Balkan states. This movement was exemplified by the Serbian struggle for autonomy, which culminated in the First Serbian Uprising in 1804 and eventually led to their recognition of independence. As nationalist sentiments spread, they challenged the Ottoman Empire's dominance and inspired other ethnic groups to seek self-determination, significantly altering the political landscape of the region. Ultimately, these nationalist aspirations contributed to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of new nation-states in the Balkans.
