In the late nineteenth century, the Ottoman Empire faced significant challenges from rising nationalism, particularly among its diverse ethnic groups, including the Serbs, Bulgarians, and Greeks. These nationalistic movements sought independence or autonomy, fueled by a growing sense of national identity and inspired by the success of nationalist uprisings in Europe. The empire's attempts to modernize and centralize governance, such as the Young Turk Revolution, were often met with resistance, further exacerbating tensions. This period marked the beginning of the gradual disintegration of the empire, leading to its eventual collapse after World War I.
