What caused Cizre's decline in the 19th century?

  • Ottoman control

  • Natural disasters

  • Economic collapse

  • Foreign invasions

Answer

Cizre's decline in the 19th century was largely due to Ottoman control. Under the Ottoman Empire, the city stagnated and became a small district center dominated by ruins. This decline continued into the 20th century, further exacerbated by the Armenian and Assyrian genocides and the exodus of the Jewish population.
