The End of the Ottoman Empire
The Turkish Republic was established in 1923. The Empire had been in a state of decline for several centuries. The inability to keep up with industrial and scientific developments, social and political unrest and wars had sapped its strength. The First World War signaled its end. The Ottoman’s were on the losing side of the war and the British were given most of it’s former empire. As the Empire crumbled, its Turkish nucleus rose up in a War of Liberation against the invading powers and the Sultan’s government.
