This week we go through the last part of the regain of the Ottoman Empire. At their height they had over 30 million people under their rule. But in the late 1700's the might of the Empire began to fall. 

Over the next couple of centuries the border of the empire fluxed, with wars raging on almost all sides. When the 20th century came around, citizens of this once great empire found themselves seeking a change in guard.
