Answer 1

Farmers and artisans from The Ottoman Empire found it increasingly hard to compete with the highly industrialized countries.

When the Industrial Revolution took place, some countries became industrialized faster than other countries. Great Britain is considered the place where the Industrial Revolution truly began, so Great Britain was one of the first industrialized countries. Industrial technology spread across the world soon and quickly and was embraced in several countries, especially in Western Europe (including Germany) and soon after in North America (including the USA). Neverthelessr, numerous regions such as the Ottoman Empire centered on modern-day Turkey and they did not  adopt industrial technology as quickly as the other countries, hence their farmers and artisans found it difficult to compete with the highly industrialized countries.

Answer 2

The Ottoman Empire is the answer. :)
