They conquer the Byzantine empire, the Balkans and nearly take Vienna, while Barbary pirates raid slaves. The Western exploration and colonization hand it economic prominence, the Ottoman empire stagnates intellectually. The British empire faces the Mahdi (Muslim Messiah) Sudan uprising. The Wahabite version of Islam fundamentalism became relevant because of oil. The First World war carves up the Ottoman empire. Turkey becomes a Western secular republic. In Arab countries and Iran, Islam becomes entangled with nationalism and socio-economic problems. Internet technology and education may finally spell a socio-cultural renaissance.
