Based on the passage, identify an issue faced by the Ottoman Empire in the 1600s.

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

The power of the [Ottoman] Empire was waning [fading] by 1683 when the second and last attempt was made to conquer Vienna. It failed. Without the conquest of Europe and the acquisition of significant new wealth, the Empire lost momentum and went into a slow decline.  

Several other factors contributed to the [Ottoman] Empire’s decline:  

• Competition from trade from the Americas  

• Competition from cheap products from India and the Far East  

• Development of other trade routes  

• Rising unemployment within the Empire  

• Ottoman Empire became less centralized, and central control weakened  

• Sultans being less severe in maintaining rigorous standards of integrity in the administration of the Empire  

• Sultans becoming less sensitive to public opinion

Based on the passage, identify an issue faced by the Ottoman Empire in the 1600s.

The Ottoman Empire grew too extensively to be able to govern it.

Explanation:

Despite not being able to conquer Europe, the Ottoman Empire did grow by several conquests, and because of that it eventually shifted into a less centralized government, making the control of it more difficult.

Furthermore, the sultans´ weakening the standards of the administration of the Empire made the central government even more vulnerable.  

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
