How did the Ottoman Empire fail to industrialization?

It was too agrarian. While the industrial revolution swept through Europe in the 1700s and 1800s, the Ottoman economy remained dependent upon farming. The empire lacked the factories and mills to keep up with Great Britain, France and even Russia, according to Michael A.

How did the Ottoman Empire react to industrialization?

The Ottomans, in their attempts at reform and industrialization, were too late to keep pace with more developed countries regarding industrialization. The Sultan Abdulhamid ended the reforms and exiled Young Turks, which were the primary advocates for reforms.

What were challenges facing Ottoman Empire?

As many other great empires around the world, the Ottoman Empire has internal problems such as rebellions, corruption, financial weakness and military defeat which surrounded its development.

What were some of the challenges and problems that contributed to the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries?

Numerous revolts and wars of independence, together with repeated incursions by Russia in the northeast and France (and later Britain) in the North African eyalets, resulted in a steady loss of territories throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
