"The Ottoman Empire has been embroiled in various wars through the beginning of the 19th century, and while some reforms have been attempted, more will be needed to prevent the decline of this empire."

The Ottoman Empire is a Great power.png Great Power in the Middle East and southern Europe. It begins in a strong, but precarious position, with the Sick Man of Europe hanging over its head.

The country's name changes to Turkey if it stops being a monarchy.

Historical background[edit | edit source]

After being officially founded at the end of the 13th century, the Ottoman Empire finally conquered the city of Constantinople on 29 May 1453, ending the last remnant of the Roman Empire. In the following centuries, the power of the Ottoman Empire grew significantly. At its height, the empire controlled most of the Balkans, North Africa, and Mesopotamia. The Ottoman Empire's power began to wane in the 17th and 18th centuries, as its government institutions became more and more dysfunctional.

Following defeats by Russia and Austria in the 1700s, the Greek Revolution in 1821-1829, and Egyptian conquest of Syria in 1831-1833, the cracks in the Ottoman Empire became more evident. While reforms were enacted, they failed to reverse the decline; although the empire retained nominal control, many of its provinces became independent or occupied by the great powers. In particular, the Ottomans' near total reliance on Great Britain and France was exposed in the Crimean War (1853-1856).

The Ottoman Empire was officially dissolved following World War I, with its core Anatolian territory making up the modern state of Turkey.

Formation[edit | edit source]

If the Ottoman Empire ceases to exist, it can be released by any country that controls Eastern Thrace and four other Turkish homelands, which make up its core states.

Journal and decisions[edit | edit source]

The Ottoman Empire starts with three negative modifiers.

  • Sick Man of Europe: −33% prestige
  • Outmoded Bureaucracy: −25% Bureaucracy and taxation capacity
  • Cizye Tax: +0.5 religious tax and −40% conscriptable battalions

One way to remove them is for the player to accomplish certain tasks, Tanzimats, within twenty years. If the player fails, the event Dead Man of Europe happens, which removes the Ottomans' recognition status, making it an Major power.png unrecognized major power. The event also releases all Ottoman subjects, making them independent.

Alternatively, if the player causes a civil war, switches over to the opposing side and wins the civil war, the three negative modifiers will also be removed; the Sick Man of Europe and Tanzimat journal entries will only be removed in patch versions 1.2x and before.

Tanzimat[edit | edit source]

The game defines several tanzimat reforms (cf. wikipedia:Tanzimat) to help guide the player to modernize the state:

  • Urbanization: Incorporate and have at least 1 Urban Center building in at least 75% of all owned states
  • Army Modernization: Research Invention napoleonic warfare.png Napoleonic Warfare, have at least 150 battalions, and all barracks use Method line infantry.png Line Infantry and Method mobile artillery.png Mobile Artillery or better with no shortages
  • Reclaim Syria: Own all of Adana, Aleppo, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Transjordan (claims for these states are given)
    • If Reclaim Syria is completed, Reclaim Egypt is unlocked: Own all of Lower Egypt, Middle Egypt, Upper Egypt, and Sinai (claims for these states are given once the journal is unlocked)
  • Educational Reform: Raise literacy by 20% and have at least a level 5 university (fully staffed)
  • Bureaucratic Reform: Change Bureaucracy and Taxation laws and have a bureaucracy surplus
  • Suppress Separatism: Have 15 years with no secession movement over 50% progress.

Four tanzimat entries must be completed in order to succeed in the reforms.

Events[edit | edit source]

The Ottoman Empire has several events related to the Tanzimats.

The Ottoman Empire is in a period of steady decline. If we do not reassert Ottoman sovereignty and reclaim our place among the Powers of the world, we risk catastrophe.
 Flavor text:
"We have fallen, but we can rise again. In an Auspicious Incident we deposed the Janissaries who had maintained their miserly grip on power for centuries, finally alowing reform to be possible. There is much more to do. First, of course, we need to replace the Janissaries with a truly modern military force. But in addition, we must restore the place of Sublime Porte as the very height of civilization. Education, urbanization, and sovereignty shall be the top items of the Ottoman agenda."

"The Sublime Porte falls silent. Just days after announcing his intention to abdicate, most likely under the duress of his ministers, the [Ruler title] has been found dead in his chambers.

Strategy and guides[edit | edit source]

Strategy The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Ottoman Empire. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.

Early civil war[edit | edit source]

As a successful revolution removes the truce with Egypt, all negative modifiers and resets Ottoman relations with almost every GP (this includes removing the rivalry with Russia), consider setting a civil war in motion from day one. At the various checkpoints (if possible) , take the option to add other IGs to the revolutionary cause, increasing the ease of the subsequent civil war. Remember to switch to the other side when the Diplomatic Play starts.

Tanzimat[edit | edit source]

It is probably best to focus on military and diplomacy for reforms as you need to fight Egypt in two (or more) wars and reclaim several states each time. For these wars, you definitely do not want GP intervention on the Egyptian side. Also, maximize the military's pay for increased power projection; it'll allow the Ottomans to become a GP.

Discrimination[edit | edit source]

The Tanzimats don't touch on this, but as the Ottoman Empire is home to several cultures and religions, it might be prudent to adopt Law freedom of conscience.png Freedom of Conscience or even Law total separation.png Total Separation to stop discriminating against the non-Sunni religions and probably also Law multicultural.png Multiculturalism to stop discriminating against non-Turkish ethnicities.

Remember that, as long as a pop is discriminated against, it will NOT assimilate! You also gain radicals from discrimination. Fulfilling the demands of the Tanzimats is by no means easy to achieve, and yet, it is still not enough. The Ottoman Empire in 1836 is a large multi-ethnic, multi-religious state covering a large area in Europe and Asia. You cannot run it as if it was the Sultanate of Brunei.

Viable economies[edit | edit source]

The Ottoman Empire has a lot of of states with the potential for Goods tea.pngtea plantations. Building those and exporting tea to the United Kingdom is a very profitable plan due to the low construction costs and the British obsession for tea.

On the other hand, the Ottoman Empire does not have sufficient Goods iron.pngiron and Goods coal.pngcoal for full industrialization compared to its size.

The war with Egypt[edit | edit source]

It might be tempting to declare war on Egypt as soon as the truce expires. But the Ottoman Empires growth potential is much higher, so the longer one waits, the more one-sided the war will be. However, once war breaks out it is worth taking the state of Upper Egypt on top of the Ottoman claims. Note that if the player causes a civil war, switches over to the opposing side and wins the civil war, the truce will be cancelled. This means that a successful revolution (usually) allows the Ottomans to attack Egypt earlier.

The Ottoman fleet is much superior to the Egyptians'. The war is best fought by simply holding both fronts (Levant and Tripolitania), while preparing a naval invasion in Upper Egypt. Once a foothold is established there, the Egyptian Army will collapse.

Flags[edit | edit source]

  • Default Turkish Flag, Absolute Monarchy

  • Turkish Flag as a Constitutional Monarchy

  • Turkey as a Republic or as an Oligarchy

  • Turkey as a Republican Dictatorship

  • Turkey as a Theocracy

  • Turkey as a subject

  • Turkey as a subject of Britain or Spain
