There was also a PPT at http://archive.is/LXbAS.

Relevance to education sections of successor countries

@Loksmythe: Hi! Re: this edit.

The Ottoman Empire made up large swathes of southeastern Europe, West Asia, and northern Africa. The empire slowly broke up and then went away completely in 1923. The listed education sections were of countries that succeeded the empire.

Middle Eastern territories changed hands as a result of World War I: Saudi Arabia took over Hejaz after it was briefly independent, the British established Iraq, Mandatory Palestine (now Israel and the Palestinian territories), and Transjordan (now Jordan) while the French established Lebanon and Syria. Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire.

Also the Balkan Wars meant that many European parts of the empire went independent.

In summary: This article is a list of schools that existed at the time of the empire (primarily post-Tanzimat/late 1800s/early 1900s), and the other ones are their modern equivalents. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
