During the 1800s, Europe's main interest in the Ottoman Empire was:
Maintaining the balance of power between Europe and the Ottoman Empire.
European powers were concerned about preserving the balance of power in the region to prevent any single state, including the Ottoman Empire, from becoming too powerful and potentially disrupting the stability of the European system. This interest was motivated by geopolitical considerations and a desire to prevent the expansion of influence by any one state in the region.
