Hello there!

Your answer would be D. Was divided into several smaller new nations

The reason why "D. Was divided into several smaller new nations" would be the correct answer to your question is because when World War I ended, the Ottoman Empire actually split into smaller nations around the world. This would be some of the smaller nations like Turkey, the UK getting parts of Africa, Palestine, and etc. If it wasn't for Palestine becoming one of the smaller nations, Israel wouldn't be possible. The reason why the Ottoman Empire split into different nations was because they trading system was going so well since other European trading systems were exceeding theirs, in which they empire started to take a sharp decrease. When the ottoman Empire was finally done for, people decided to just split up and make their own nations.
