What is an accurate description of relations between European states and the Ottoman Empire in the period 1815 to 1914?

Abstract

Three contrary theories of great power war are examined. The first is the common balance of power argument that parity preserves peace. The second is Organski's oft-cited alternative, "the power transition." The third is a conflation of the first and second. Like the first, the inherent inability to measure power precisely is the basis of the conflated balance of power theory. Like the second, the conclusion is that parity encourages war. Unlike either the first or second theory, the third provides an explanation of the incidence and extent of warfare between great powers. The basic proposition tested is that nonseparated great powers fight as they approach parity in power capabilities. The evidence is from the relations between the European great powers during 1815-1939. /// On examine ici trois théories contradictoires sur la guerre entre les grandes puissances : celle de l'équilibre des forces, qui assurerait la paix; l'alternative, exprimée par A. F. K. Organski, qui prétend le contraire; enfin, une synthése des deux précédentes. Cette troisième théorie repose (comme la premiére) sur l'impossibilité de mesurer avec précision les forces en présence et aboutit (comme la seconde) à la conclusion que l'approche de l'équilibre encourage la guerre. Contrairement aux deux autres la troisième théorie explique l'incidence et l'étendue des guerres entre les grandes puissances. L'Europe, de 1815 à 1939 en fournit la preuve.
