Proxy Wars, Geostrategy, Statecraft and Hubris

Proxy Wars, Geostrategy, Statecraft and Hubris

The premature dissolution of the Ottoman Empire feared by the European Great Powers lest it upset the established balance of power reveals how superpowers navigate geopolitically and militarily globally to protect their national interests. Hence governance by proxy is both a stabilizing and undermining force depending on what side you are on.
Such a reliance on proxy rulers by the Ottomans led to disintegration of the empire due to inadequate assessment and inability to collect resources (primarily through taxation) from lands under their oversight (Lecture 2).

That being said does anyone have further insights they would like to ad about proxy wars and statecraft?
