  In the midst of political decline and burgeoning financial problems in the late 19th century, the Ottoman Empire became embroiled in a borrowing frenzy, which eventually resulted in the financial collapse of the empire. This work focuses on the handling of the external debt crisis, one of the most controversial periods of Ottoman economic history.
