History: With majority of the European backers of the Ottoman Empire gone, plus the general chaos that reigned within the Empire even beforehand, it wasn't surprising that the collapse of it was imminent. It split into a number of vilyaets, the most important of which was the Danubian Vilyaet, which following the total collapse of Austro-Hungary had began to expand into Serbia and later on, Slavonia. By 1890, it had managed to reconquer the entirety of the Balkan peninsula, and even began to title itself as the successor of the Ottoman Empire.
However, in order to establish this success, it had to adopt many of the previous reforms that the Ottoman Empire had done only halfheartedly, ushering into a new, real era of the Tanzimat. For several decades, from 1890 to 1916, an era of prosperity, or at least, stability, had reigned. The rulers in the now-renamed Istanbul had felt that the tide of nationalism had been finally stemmed, and that the day of the Neo-Ottoman Empire had come.
They were wrong. An organisation, called the Bulgarian Freedom Front had existed since 1897, permeating every corner, from Vidin to Istanbul and from Varna to Solun. By 1910, it was deemed that the time had come, and the organisation of a rebellion against the hated Turks had began. By 1915, all of Bulgaria was ready and prepared for an open rebellion. It is then that a brave man - the son of Hristo Botev, Dimitur Botev, had done the impossible. On 14th of July, he assassinated the sultan of the "Neo-Ottoman Empire", resulting into chaos, further exacerbated by the open rebellion that had happened by then. In the end, the Neo-Ottoman Empire ceased to exist, only to be replaced by Great Bulgaria.
