Decline Of The Ottoman Empire
The Decline of the Ottoman Empire (20 October 1827 – 24 July 1908) is the period that followed after the Stagnation of the Ottoman Empire (11/12 September 1683 – 20 October 1827) in which the empire experienced several economic and political setbacks. Directly affecting the Empire at this time was Russian imperialism. The political rhetoric was dominated with the economic problems and national uprisings. The Empire tried to catch up to the western world by passing political and administrative reformations. The decline period was followed by the Dissolution of the Ottoman Empire (24 July 1908 – 30 October 1918).

—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

Guide our Forces by Thy Hand,
Gallant blacks from far Jamaica,
Honduras and Togoland;
Protect them Lord in all their fights,
And, even more, protect the whites.”
