18th - 19th Century Maps (continued)

In the 19th Century we see serious changes in the map of the Ottoman Empire with the growing idea of Ethnic Nationalism in Eastern Europe and expansion of Colonial Powers in North Africa.

Within the vast territories administered by the Ottomans during their reign of 700 years, there are over 20 independent nations today in North Africa, Balkans, Middle East, Caucasus and Arabian Peninsula.
