Answer:
B. European nations had no interest in the Ottoman Empire.
Explanation:
It was known as the Ottoman Empire, an important state that lasted from 1299 to 1922 and comprised vast territories in northern Africa, southeastern Europe and the Middle East. Established by a branch of the various Turkish peoples who migrated to the Anatolian peninsula (where the modern state of Turkey now exists), the Ottoman Empire is considered the last global power in the Islamic world to this day.
After defeats in two important sieges of the city of Vienna in the 16th and 17th centuries, the empire enters a slow process of stagnation and disintegration. The economic activities of the conquered peoples were conducted on their own initiative, which caused the empire's general economy to slowly crumble. As the entire nineteenth century lost territories, political instability increased and increased until, in 1909, Sultan Abdul Hamid II was overthrown by a rebellion that began the modernization of the empire. This, however, comes late, as the breakdown continues, with two Balkan wars between 1912 and 1913, and the colonialist attacks of Italy and France, which formally end the Ottoman presence in Europe and Africa.
