Ottoman Empire (The 1800's)

The Ottoman Empire or known colloquially and historically as either the Turkish Empire and mostly Turkey, was a sovereign nation situated in the European and Asian continents. The nation encompassed present day Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Greece, Bulgaria, most of the Saudi Arabian coast, and other Balkan states.
