The government in the Ottoman Empire was complex but ineffective, facing challenges like military corruption, decentralization, and cultural stagnation, leading to its eventual decline and fall in the early 20th century.
The government in the Ottoman Empire can be best described as complex but ineffective. The Ottoman Empire had a complex structure with a hereditary sovereign, a strong military organization, and an imperial bureaucracy, but it faced challenges like military corruption, decentralization, and cultural stagnation that hindered its effectiveness.
Advocates for reform, such as the Young Turks, pushed for changes and forced the adoption of a constitution, but ultimately the empire faced decline, especially post the reign of Selim II, becoming known as 'the sick man of Europe' in the 19th century.
Despite attempts at modernization and reforms, the Ottoman Empire could not keep up with its European neighbors and eventually fell, with the Republic of Turkey founded in 1923, leading to the official abolishment of the caliphate in 1924.
