Question

Which Asian empire was weakening,

unstable, and experiencing nationalist
uprisings in the 1800s?

Answer 1

I believe it's the Ottoman Empire.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it culminated in uprisings largely of Christian peasants against Muslim lords in Bosnia and Herzegovina (July 1875) and in Bulgaria (August 1876). Ottoman efforts to suppress the uprisings led to war with Serbia and Montenegro (July 1876) and to attempts by European powers to force Ottoman reforms.
