    Would the Ottoman Empire have still gotten expelled from the Balkans and North Africa if it wasn't for the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars?

    My PoD would be Potemkin dying in 1784, enabling the Anti-Ottoman coalition of the Russo-Austrians to start their joint war against the Turks several years sooner. Such enables the successful implementation of the Greek Plan, which is something @Skallagrim has suggested before elsewhere.

    I know that map comes from a Ottomanphile from 2008, IIRC there's been a lot of pushback on it since then based on other sources and newer research.

    Yes, the Balkan Christians were starting to stir and the Austro-Russians were becoming increasingly serious about dealing with the Turks to their South.
