Ottoman empire in its weakened state, it has got the name as "Sick man of Europe"

Explanation:

The Ottoman Empire was one of the powerful empires, just because it had the control over the trading city 'Constantinople' which acted as the bridge for trade between the Europe and The mighty Asia.

Many wars took place over the same place and in fact it was one of the reasons for the fall of this mighty empire in the nineteenth century. Once a great empire turned to a weakened state, he was started to be referred as the "Sick man of Europe".

Turkey is the modern country risen from the ashes of what once was the powerful and vast Ottoman Empire. The empire disintegrated after World War I. Several of its former territories became British or French protectorates following the Ottoman defeat (it was a German ally). The Republic of Turkey was formally proclaimed on October 29, 1923. The father of modern Turkey is Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
