    As an Australian, the significance of the Ottomans cannot be understated. The country's almost entire focus was on the Ottomans from a variety of fronts, with a lot of British supplies being used over and over again. The Ottomans may not have been a fearsome military to rival that of Britain or Germany, but by simply holding out they made themselves a lightning rod for Entente hostility. The Germans needed all of the help they could get to win the war, and it would have been a fair amount shorter without years of naval and cavalry warfare on the far side of the conflict, not even considering the effect this had on the Russians. Great video as always.

      A Russo-American alliance with the US possibly influencing and pressuring the Russian empire to become more liberalized and fairer. I like this too. Personally, I think it always made sense. Since Russia's own one continent, it's gigantic, and the United States is on another, and it's also massive. The United States gets this oceanic base in the Pacific and vice versa.

      As a Turk interested in history, I can guarantee it to you that we wouldn't be better off without a war. It is not mentioned always that just because of the humiliating defeat we got after WW1, we had more reasons to have an independence war. We probably would have gotten a more methodical dissolution of Ottoman Empire had we have not joined the war, since we would literally have no one to back us up. The faster and less methodical dissolution of rhe empire resulted in the public being more proactive in wanting to be more sovereign. Therefore, I think that WW1 brought us a lot of casualties which might have set the country back a lot, but we have at least gained a chance for total independence. Had we have not joined the war and eventually dissolved methodically, I highly doubt the general public would have had the urge to fight for independence.

      The industrial revolution never happens. The downfall of the Ottomans started when the Spanish Armada defeated the Ottoman fleet in the Battle of Lepanto, that and colonization along with advancements in trade which give Europe much more options to trade with leaving the Ottomans with trade dominance.
      In short, take out industrialization, colonization, both of which led to the Ottomans loosing major trade influence and military power relative to Europe.
      Also the Ottomans are harsher on converting people to Islam and try to assimilate their conquered peoples.

    If Gallipoli had never happened then the slaughter of ANZAC troops would never had happened. Several things occurred because of this usage of colonial troops by the British. One of them was that ANZAC troops were allowed to have their own generals, these generals were treated with more respect and lenience than most other generals. This meant that requests made by these generals would be far more likely to considered and approved than other generals even if the requests they made were against certain rules or objectives. One famous incident of a request that should've been denied but wasn't was in WW2, when New Zealand general Sir Bernard Freyberg requested that the Abbey at Monte Cassino be bombed because recon had falsely reported that there were Germans inside. This request went against specific orders to not damage important Italian works but it was approved anyway because Sir Bernard Freyberg was leading a colonial force.
    TL;DR: If the Ottomans remained neutral, the Abbey of Monte Cassino would still be the original structure. The butterfly effect is a crazy thing.

The jokes work, and they likely landed well with a lot of people, but they feel a little out of place compared to the tone of the video as a whole.

    I'm an australian, and I don't think it can really go much without saying just how much this would affect australian history as well. Without the disasterous campeign, pushes for self-sovereignty would be weaker here, as one of the key things that made us begin to distance ourselves with britain was realising they saw our men as _nothing_ but expendable soldiers they could throw at unwinnable battles. This would directly lead to the rise of australian nationalism and contribute to the rise of a significant fascist minority in our state during the 1930s. With this altered, the pushes for australian statehood would likely emerge sometime after an alternate second world war if japan was our enemy, since if that was the case we'd likely see something like the Burma Road or Singapore to further make use feel disdain towards britain. All-in-all, without Gallipoli, it's perfectly reasonable to expect australian dominion status to continue into the 70 or 80s.

    I think that in this world the ottomans would have to walk a very tight rope not to anger the entente, so maybe their attacks against minorities would be somewhat mitigated. The entente may be occupied, but I wouldn't rule out them pressuring constantly the ottomans to keep in line. Also, as a little sidenote, it's a shame you didn't mention how this scenario affects zionism. It would be far more difficult to create a jewish state under ottoman rule, but the zionist movement was already getting pretty strong, and I wouldn't discard the British pressuring the ottomans to stablish some sort of autonomous state. Maybe even the French do the same with the Lebanese christians. Overall, I think that once the war is over, the entente would go back to pressure the ottomans, and they wouldn't really have all that much freedom to push for turkification.

      @@matthiuskoenig3378 yes, but I highly doubt they would let them have any sort of autonomy without outside pressure. It's one thing to receive highly qualified immigrants that add value to the land. It's very different to abandon your own power in favour of those immigrants, especially when this puts the people of your own religion at a disadvantage.

      Problem with this scenario is if the Ottomans to stay neutral, there shouldn't be a triumvirate dicatorship in the government but a democratic parliamentery which there was before this three idiots took power.
      So without three pashas there wouldn't be major problems with minorities because these atrocities were their brainchild.
      I don't think Brits would let Ottomans control their own oil, like they did in Iran and in future we would have a delayed Arab Revolt and maybe even a proxy war in the oil lands.

So all of Palestine as Israel would have to be taken from Enver's cold, dead hands at the cost of millions of dead Brits or French. I can imagine a scenario where Enver makes the British and French help in conquering Turan in exchange for Israel but I doubt they would accept that either.

    One of your best videos yet. WW1 is one of the great turning points of history and Turkey vs Russia one of the great rivalries, especially when it comes to who the west chooses to support.
    Somehow the west has always chosen Turkey; which I personally think was always the wrong choice, except when Russia was communist. Coincidentally both are occupying neighbouring countries today.

      The general idea was to keep Russia out of the Mediterranean and prevent them getting a Black Sea monopoly via taking the straits. This growing and modernizing and ambitious Russian Empire was a far more pressing bugbear for the west than anything the 19th century Ottoman state could put out.
