Industrial revolution
They were too retarded to manufacture their own good and they had to buy them from Europe, this trade deficit bankrupted them even thought that they had the resources of the entire middle East
Industrial revolution is the reason why Japan bullied everyone else in Asia
The empire crumbled under its own weight by the time WWI began, but it was already very weak years prior partially due to massive corruption in the government. More and more ethnicities started to look for a way out of the inevitable collapse, hence you had ethnicities like Armenians trying to break free (and getting shoah'd in the process).
