dissolution of the ottoman empire ne demek?

The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire began in the late 19th century and continued until the end of World War I in 1918. The decline of the Ottoman Empire was due to a combination of factors, including economic, political, and military weaknesses, as well as the rise of nationalism and imperialist ambitions of European powers.

During this period, the Ottomans lost control of many of their European territories, including Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece. They also faced challenges from Arab nationalist movements and other rebellions within their empire.

In World War I, the Ottomans sided with Germany, hoping to regain some of their lost territories. However, they were defeated by the Allied powers, and as a result, the Treaty of Sèvres was signed in 1920, which effectively dissolved the Ottoman Empire.

The treaty imposed harsh conditions on the Ottomans, including the loss of most of their territories in Europe and the Middle East, the demilitarization of their army, and the establishment of mandates in their former territories under the control of European powers. The Treaty of Lausanne, signed in 1923, replaced the Treaty of Sèvres and recognized the new Republic of Turkey as the successor state to the Ottoman Empire.
