The Fall of the Ottoman Empire The Ottoman Empire, one of Europe’s greatest powers, . There are many causes of the the Ottoman Empire’s demise. Unemployment and economic decline developed severe ramifications on an already climbing debt. Rising debt obligated business owners to constrict production which lead to poor manufacturing. Unprosperous exportation of products constituted for a substantial reliance on agriculture, which lost the battle of competition between other agricultural countries. The Ottoman Empire fell into a deficit and therefore retroceded as a result. Rising unemployment within the Ottoman Empire evoked an impoverished economy. Public functions depended on public investments. As economic times changed, the Ottoman

“Over the 19th century, a shift occurred to rural female labor with guild organized urban-based male labor less important.”(Quataert).Women had minimal rights and were forced to work extremely laborious for almost no payments. There was not enough exportation to ameliorate for the imports, which coerced a slew of money loss. This was due to a decline in production, which was caused by restrictions in manufacturing lead to by the debt. “Domestic consumption and demand. Mechanized production even at its peak remained an insignificant portion of total output. The lack of capital, as in other areas of the economy, deterred the mechanization of production.”(Frangakis-Syrett). The bad trading port and closed off river prevented a well performing system for exporting goods. “One will find then that ottoman industry was not ‘dying, unadaptive, and an unevolving sector, but vital, creative, evolving, and diverse.”’ A constriction and unbalance in manufacturing created a loss of even more money and the rise of …show more content…
People would travel for months just to sell a small amount of cloth. The increased time of labor was induced by an inflated need for production. However amazing the agriculture was, the area in which the state inhabited could not provide enough profit. Therefore the major business owners were forced to limit manufacturing in order to save money. “Functioning under strict price regulations, the guilds were unable to provide quality goods at prices low enough to compete with the cheap European manufactured goods that entered the empire without restriction because of the Capitulations agreements.”(Britannica). Cheap American grain imports caused economic crises because of the lower quality, lower price, overall consumer competition. “The majority of the population earned a living from small family holdings and this contributed to 40% of taxes directly…”. The economy was so impoverished that the agriculture was the main source of taxes, income, and exports in the empire. Failed economic agriculturalization and exportation ultimately destroyed any minuscule chance of rising from the deficit.
There are many causes for the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The economic failure created a huge impact on the climbing debt, which forced large business owners to limit production. The decreased manufacturing and production evoked poor trade and exportation. Minuscule exportation caused a heavy reliance on agriculture,
