Nationalist unrest led to the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire through territorial losses as various ethnic groups sought independence, resulting in significant internal conflicts and the empire's weakened authority. European powers intervened in these nationalist movements, further complicating the empire's stability and control. Ultimately, this unrest contributed to the empire being labeled 'the sick man of Europe' and paved the way for its eventual collapse.
