In January 1913, Enver Pasha, Talaat Pasha and Djemal Pasha, three prominent individuals in the CUP, led a coup d’état against the government of the Freedom and Accord Party, effectively establishing a dictatorship of the triumvirate. Hence, if we are to compare this to the Ottoman Empire, as they were also one of the victorious powers, one can understand just how significant of a role the economy plays in the survival of an empire.Ī second factor behind the Ottoman survival of the collapse of other global empires was the Committee of Union and Progress’s (CUP) strong political influence. Mathews’ argues that the main reason behind the demise of the German Empire despite their victory in the First World War was due to its inability to reinvest and maintain a strong economy. This was important as it allowed for the development of the economy and ensured that the government retained a competent image among its people. Consequently, with an industrialised empire and income through taxation of foreign traders and reparations, the Ottomans were able to fund and invest in other areas of the empire without putting extra pressure on its citizens through increased taxation. This was important considering the empire had started industrialising much later than its European counterparts, as it allowed them to quickly catch up and close the gap. In addition, receiving the reparations, stated throughout the Treaty of Versailles, from the defeated powers allowed the Ottomans to further fund the industrialisation process that they had commenced before the nineteenth century. The graph presented in Jefferson’s book shows a positive correlation between the years following the abandoning of capitulations and the increase of taxation of foreign traders, and thus the positive impact the abandoning of capitulations had on generating revenue through taxation. The empire therefore found the opportunity to make up for the revenue lost through the European interruption of Ottoman trade routes and partnerships. The abolition of capitulations was crucial in aiding the development of the economy as it meant that they were no longer restricted from taxing European traders that used Ottoman territory to reach their destinations.

This demand can be found in Article 28 in the Treaty of Lausanne. Though this was an outcome of deteriorating relations, the Germans’ need for Ottoman cooperation meant that the Ottoman authorities could demand the dismissal of capitulation agreements with Germany as well. For instance, with the commencement of World War One, the capitulation agreements between the Ottoman Empire and Entente Empires ceased to exist. The main reason behind the empire’s economic success was its ability to adapt its policies to take advantage of key European events. This allowed the government to maintain political legitimacy among its subjects. New eastern cannons and eastern rocket are added to Ottoman Empire.Firstly, the long-term economic success of the Ottoman Empire was the most significant factor contributing to its survival, as it enabled the empire to overcome short-term crises, such as the First World War and minor coup attempts.Some technological things are corrected (Now you can’t have nizam light infantry without light infantry doctorine, etc.).Almost all units of Ottomans and some eastern factions have unused second hats.Now when you zoom in and out, models do not change. Zooming (or phasing) problem of units are solved for Ottoman Empire.Ratio of religion for some cities are changed and corrected.Some soldiers are changed on campaign map and Ottoman Empire has more powerful soldiers on Balkan at the beginning from now on.
