specific periods of its history relative to its rivals. Every empire undergoes traumatic events and challenging periods. Rather, upon reading the citations presented on both the Talk Page and within the article, it becomes apparent that what has been overturned is a now obsolete historiographical view of the empire that situates it within an abstract state of perpetual, undefined downward diminution from around 1600 to 1922. There is nothing wrong with stating (for example) that the relative military power of the
Ottoman Empire waned in comparison to the Russian Empire throughout the early 19th century. But even if we clearly specify what was in decline, it again becomes problematic insofar as the term implies a continuous downward trend, which would be inaccurate even for the 19th century. As discussed extensively within the article, it was this type of nuance that was previously absent from early to mid 20th century analyses of the empire's history-instead opting to narrativise entire swathes of Ottoman History as being in a "state of decline," leaving little room for any other narrative.

text isn't integrated into the article at all and most of it doesn't even address the actual topic (the decline thesis as a historiographical concept within
Ottoman history). Instead it's just a collection of musings on various aspects of Ottoman history post-16th century. I think most of it would need to be removed or heavily reworked in order to fit into the article. This article is about the historiographical concept of the decline thesis, so it's very inappropriate for the first thing confronting the reader after the introduction to be a random collection of comments on the Ottoman economy (though some parts of this text could potentially be integrated into the section of the article discussing the relationship between the decline thesis and the Ottoman economy). Sorry to whomever added this text, but I feel that I've got to revert it.

rivals. Rather, they are critiquing the prevailing tendency of certain mid-20th century historians to characterise entire portions of any empire's complex and dynamic history as "periods or states of decline/stagnation." The reason for this is that this is not how historical empires work. For example, whilst it would be okay to describe the
Eastern Roman Empire as declining in military power vis Ă vis the early Ottoman sultanate, it would not make sense to describe the Roman Empire from the reign of Justinian to Constantine XI as a "period of decline" simply because they collectively lost more territory than they gained. It's important to be specific with regard to what is meant. Likewise, it would be fine to describe the early 19th century Ottoman military as declining and modernising relative to Russia or France, there is a whole

rejection of a now obsolete paradigm and their reasons for doing so. Whilst the article does indeed speak in absolutes in some instances, such as reiterating
Toledano's observation that reliance on non-specialists has meant that the decline thesis "maintains a presence in popular history," I do not find this to be a tendentiously presented view. Simply put, there was a popular historiographical view of the empire's history, and it is now rejected by most historians in favour of a more nuanced narrative of crisis and adaptation. I see little reason to seesaw this, or play devil's advocate until equilibrium is reached when there already appears to be an evident consensus that it was a prevalent but oversimplified historiographical view that has been replaced with more balanced alternatives.

decline compared to the countries of Europe who continued to improve (in technology, economy, science, military etc.) while the
Ottoman empire did not. The empire conquered Muslim countries which previously were at the forefront of science and technology, but stopped inventing new science and technology and was late to adopt ideas coming from the west (even such monumental ideas as the printing press and clock technology). Also, the empire, by giving the Sultan absolute power to seize anyone's property or life (a power that did not exist in Europe at the time), made Capitalism impossible and hurt the economy and the military of the empire. Corrupt and counter-productive ideas such as slavery, which were abandoned in Europe, were never abandoned in the Ottoman empire (see
2415:"period of perpetual decline" simply because they collectively lost more territory than they gained. You mentioned the Habsburg Empire, which is another great example of this. It would be incredibly reductive to describe the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1866-1918 as existing in a "perpetual state of decline." Whilst Vienna may not have had the same authority over other German states as it did previously, she still massively centralised her own authority and like the Ottoman Empire, her overall ability to influence the lives of her subjects was never greater than in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, despite territorial losses, fiscal problems, revolutions and the ascendance of other Great Powers such as Russia and Germany.

scholarly literature has rejected the thesis and moved on. Then we get silliness like the comment to which I'm replying, that assert that the reject this thesis is to "pretend that the
Ottoman state wasn't as bad… as it actually was." The editors of Knowledge need to ignore this nonsense amateurism (and pretty rank bigotry) and recognize that in the field of Ottoman scholarship, this "Ottoman decline thesis" was a thing (and still is for some of the amateurs writing here) and that it has, after many scholarly labors, been decisivly rejected. If some want to maintain it, then write another article, but this article, imperfect as it is in its nascent state is utterly uncontoversial among experits in the field.

the 19th volatile political landscape disfavored the
Ottoman Empire. The rise of nationalism with the French Revolution inspired independence movements among Christian subjects in the Balkans. The Ottoman Empire spent enormous financial and military resources in a failed attempt to quell the revolts caused by separatist organizations. At the same time, the imperial powers of Europe, namely Britain, France and Russia wanted to expand their spheres of influence in the Near East. Under those conditions, the Ottoman Empire took three mighty blows to its hegemony: 1) The Russo-Turkish War of 1878, 2) The First Balkan War, 3) The First World War. The last one definitely ended the rule of Ottoman dynasty.

Habsburgs). But even I know that this position is not as universally held by scholars as as this article makes it out to be; it's just that the empire's most strident defenders have been the most vocal in restoring the Ottomans' place in history. Like all matters in historiography, arguments will seesaw until they find an equilibrium one day. But the flaws in this article really lie in its own strident tone: there's no nuance (like a newspaper op-ed), it speaks in absolutes and implicitly treats anyone who disagrees with

But there is such a thing as taking things to the opposite extreme, and there have been grumblings and quite vocal disagreements on how efforts to portray the Ottomans as "just like any other empire" to admire and behold go some ways in whitewashing the Ottomans' own misdeeds. This article reads like something along those lines.
