>>213131323ottomans were rich compared to other countries until late 1500s but after a point ottomans became overextened and the expansion for the empire became way harder and also were late to keep up with developments in europe so empire started a stagnation period
by the late 1600s ottomans started facing coalition of european nations venice austria polish-lithuanian commonwealth and russia and were overwhelmed and it started the declining period
ottomans lost wealth and resources fighting against these nations and by 1800s ottomans were a poor nation indebted to the western powers
they tried to modernize but it wasn't enough to recover the empire because they had too many enemies and not enough allies and had too many internal problems
tldr: ottomans did were not able to build a wealth that reaches the modern day from the money they gained
