Suddenly? Didn't they progressively get weaker and weaker over hundreds of years?

>>3016041

addapt or die , simple

they did, it's just that the "suddenly" was due increasing nationalistic sentiments across europe in the mid to late 1800s that the balkans wanted in on.

they were relevant because they controlled trade through constantinople and bosphorus but eventually got cucked by global trade and colonisation

they had control over the mediterranean sea ,,trade routes from east and %60 of the world market
they had so much gold that they used gold as their currency ....and gold was the srtongest currency then
until the spanish and portuguese ships started to pump gold to the mediterrean market from their lootings in s,america (aztecs , mayans)
ottoman archieves say inbetween 1695-1698 , their gold as a currency was %700 devalued in 3 years
this was the first biggest catastrophe of otto economy , they even had struggle to pay janisseries pension which caused lots of riots,uprisings etc...
after that they couldnt recover and everything went downhill
we can see similarities between otto/gold - usa/usd

They reached the realistic maximum extent of a medieval empires in the 16th century, and began to dexline as empire often do. Then thier neighbors broke out of the technological end economic stasis which had been the norm since at least 1 ad, and they failed to adapt.

The era of nationalism and imperialism

when you have a strong convertible currency ,first you have all the advantages of the open trade economy
open trade / low taxes leads your economy to deflation first
everything gets cheaper and cheaper everyday
even workforce ( slavery )
your local manufacturers start to produce less and less everyday because it is not profitable.they cant compete with manufacturers from europe or far east
.... and when your strong currency collapses , booom ... they call you paper tiger or "sick old man "
