So, if the Ottoman Empire manages to maintain its dominant position in the Balkans (say, they don't lose the Russo-Turkish war in 1877-78), what happens to it? How does its future history go? What does its internal situation look like, and how to the problems with all the Balkan ethnicities get sorted out? Do people like the Young Turks still come to power, or does the empire remain more pan-Islamic? What about economics-how quickly does it industrialize, and what does its economy look like in 2011?
