Austria-Hungary and Russia intervened in the Ottoman Empire's domestic problems in order to expand their Empires and strategic alliances. The Balkan countries intervened in the Ottoman Empire's problems in order to gain proper independence. This meddling was occurring in the 19th century when Austria-Hungary and Russia proper were powerful countries that had no major territories under Ottoman control. (They both acquired Ottoman territories later, but these were external regions like the Ukraine or Croatia which are separate nations today.) In 1800, Greece, Crete, Serbia, Bosnia, and Bulgaria were all territories of the Ottoman Empire whose people were just beginning to achieve national consciousness and trying to organize their various ethnic groups into one contiguous homeland.
One of the major challenges faced by the Ottoman Empire was determining how to govern many different regions.
