Weak and in decline best describes the Ottoman Empire in the years just before World War I.
Further Explanations:
Ottoman Empire was structured by the Turkish tribes of Anatolia and soon it gained fame of being a powerful empire during the 15th century period. At its powerful state, the empire extended into the gates of Vienna, Greece, and Ukraine. During the era of WWI, the empire allied with Germany the "Central Powers." In conclusion of the war, the Central Powers lost and the Ottoman Empire too ceased to be as an empire. Though Turkey continued as a nation but lost its territories that it had detained before.
The early phase of the empire was regarded by provincial expansion towards southern Europe and Anatolian, but by the commencement of the 20th century, the empire began to fall and its territories went on the verge of declaring itself self-governing. European powers were too waiting for the Empire to fell and so that they can begin their supremacy in those areas.
