The Age of Imperialism Practice

Unit 5 World History

Economic problems arose, inflation increased rapidly started in Europe with the flow of precious metals from America and the signing of the treaty of capitulations where little French entered to market in Ottoman territory, Western European factories also sold their products and not they allowed the sale of the Ottoman products themselves, with this came the decline and then the Ottoman ruin. Another problem was the internal revolts of the subjugated peoples, which weakened the empire and the European states took advantage of this weakness.
