First sentence: In the late eighteenth century, just before the upheavals caused by the French revolution, the Ottoman Empire roughly consisted of: the Balkans (with modern-day, or rather yesterday's, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and large parts of Romania), Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and most of the Arab world (with the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Kuwait, parts of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria).
