Their religions also differed. The Russians are Orthodox Christians and their government didn’t have much in the way of religious tolerance while the Ottomans had large swaths of conquered lands with many religions so they were quite tolerant so their religious scope was varied.

Religion has been an integral component of humanity, as a way to search answers to existential questions that they might have as well as possibly giving a reason as to why the things they saw happen occur, mostly in older religions.

Overthrowing the tyranny of Hamid should have been enough to help establish a new government, but the triumvirate also became quite oppressive during their reign. Turkism established a new form of nationalism that left out various nationalities, races, and cultures, and this led to the decline of the empire. Following World War I, the empire was faced with so many conflicts, they were unable to remain strong.
