Dear,
OTTOMAN EMPIRE:
The greatest of the Muslim states. Its 600-years history extends from 1299 through World War l. Under Osman (d.1326), considering the founder of the dynasty, the Ottoman Turks began their westward expansion at the expense of the Byzantines. By 1400 Osman's successors controlled the greater part of Serbia, Bulgaria, and Walachia. In their most significant victory over the Christians, the Muslim forces captured Constantinople (1453). Soon afterward the khanate of the Crimes became part of the Empire, as did Egypt, the Red Sea shore of the Arabian Peninsula, and the Mediterranean shore of Palestine and Syria.
Under Suleyman l (reigned 1520-66) the Ottomans reached the zenith of their pow err and civilization. The Empire lost both territory and prestige during the 17th and 18th centuries. The 19th century saw superficial reform efforts, followed in the 20th century, by the founding of the Turkish republic.

The defeat of Turkey in WW1 meant the break up of the Ottoman Empire.
The new League of Nations gave a mandate to France to rule Syria and Lebanon and a mandate to Britain to rule Palestine, Trans-Jordan and Iraq.
The Arabian Peninsular was largely transformed into Sau
di Arabia with independent sheikdoms on the Persian Gulf and Yemen and the British Protectorate of Aden in the south.
After WW2 Some of these states achieved independence but Palestine was broken in two after a terrorist campaign by illegal jewish immigrants from Europe and part of it became the new State of Israel

to answer to your question is big but very simply put it lost the Balkans due to the raise of nationalism amount its Balkan subjects which lead to them fighting for independence. it couldn't assert itself against Europe because it wasn't modernized enough to stand up to them militarily or economically.it couldn't effectively reform because most ruling nobles were against because they would lose power,wealth and they felt it was admitting that Europe was superior to them. it was also too multicultural with only the nobles seeing themselves as ottoman and even then so nobles like the bosians wanted freedom. for more information read "the Balkans 1804-1999" by Misha glenny
