Tanzimat in Ottoman Empire
Embedded Files
This Industrial Revolution is becoming more and more popular. Everyone on the plant either seems to be doing it or planning to do it soon. But by the middle of the 19th century, if your nation was not industrializing or modernizing they were not keeping up with the “Big Boys” (Britain, US, Germany).
This topic will look at three to them: Japan (Meiji), Ottomans (Tanzimat) and China (Self Strengthening). All three empires will use the power of their absolute leader with the industrial plan. Some leaders, like Muhammad Ali in Egypt [Ottoman], or the Tsar in Russia beginning to modernize in the 1890s. Japan will get into the act too with the arrival of the Americans in 1853. But each state's industrial applications were initiated in different ways and each had varying degrees of success from the others. Nevertheless the point for these empires was to industrialize or Westernize, in effort to stay competitive in a new, truly global, economic game.

Historical Development
As the influence of the Industrial Revolution grew, a small number of states and governments promoted their own state-sponsored visions of industrialization. Additionally, the expansion of U.S. and European influence in Asia led to internal reform in Japan that supported industrialization and led to the growing regional power of Japan in the Meiji Era. An example of State-sponsored visions of industrialization include Muhammad Ali’s development of a cotton textile industry in Egypt, which was apart of the Ottoman Empire.
