(I might aswell spill more beans

The Ottoman Empire was in decline for many years and it started losing territory like Crimea and Algeria to the other powers

But then one Sultan came into power, and everything changed

The Ottoman Empirw saw rapid industrialization, a higher standard of living , a big reform of the army and navy to make it up to date, new weapons were produced, it was ALL great for the Empire

So it tested out it’s new military strength by taking out Greece, in 2 days, Greece collapsed and was intergrated to the Empire.

In order to reclaim lost territory, it went after the Egyptian Rebellion (in our timeline there was a egyptian rebellion that caused the British to gain Egypt) and they crushed the rebellion

They decided to go after the rest of the independent Balkan states and went after Russia which saw the return of Crimea to the Empire

The 1900’s roll around and the plane has been invented

The Ottoman Air Force was huge but the planes were ineffective and weak, but they developed a bomber that is good enough to make up the airforce, by the time the first Great War, they had a good airforce and they fixed the weak problem

So the Great War occurs and Ottoman land gets invaded by the Irish and keep in mind that the Ottomans stayed out of WW1 and lost all their holdings in Africa but 7 years later they took back Egypt and Libya.

The Ottoman’s economy was thriving in the 20’s until the Great Depression arose and the economy was bad but the military is just fine and went after the rest of the Arabian peninsula.

But the time the 30’s arrived the Ottomans sensed a war coming, Ireland was getting more hungry, America stopped supporting Ireland, The USSR was very suspicious of Ireland

So they decided to do a deal with the devil.

They decided to join Ireland...
