Which empire is not correctly matched with the opponent that caused its downfall?
  1. Umayyad Caliphate: Abassid Caliphate
  2. Mongol Empire: Ming Dynasty
  3. Byzantine Empire: Ottoman Turks
  4. Ottoman Empire: Holy Roman Empire
Explanation
Answer: D - The Ottoman Empire fell in 1923 due to a combination of factors, none of which involved the Holy Roman Empire, which itself ended in 1806. When the Ottomans lost World War I, the Allies partitioned the empire, which marked the beginning of its end. The partitioning led to uprisings, the Turkish national movement, and, eventually, the Turkish War of Independence, which was successful in achieving the Republic of Turkey.
