      @@stevekook-xw3is True, but I think there still was a way (even if next to impossible) for France to dominate, and that would have been going the exact opposite choice with ultra right wing racism. If the French had decided that they had lost WWI because they were too disunited and that they needed a true Holy National Union (l'Union Sacrée Nationale) under real human rights and republican principles for all French and colonial citizens (the rest of the world are not "real" human beings in this scenario), then, and only then, could the French pool the manpower resources from Asia and Africa to enact the "revanchism" policies needed to become a military hegemon in the world scene. As said, that would be pretty far fetched, but I once tried that path from the focus tree in HOI4 and it was the easiest world conquest I ever had with France...

    While I subscribe to the idea that Austria-Hungary is not as unstable and prone to collapse as many made it out to be, I think a conflict on the scale of World War I, despite the Dual Monarchy doing better in this timeline, would still be too much for it to bear. Especially if a powerful Germany that can dictate Austria-Hungary emerges out of it. While the Czechs, Poles, etc, might get a better deal under Austria rather than, say, Germany, if the institutions that hold the Empire together began to unravel, they'll probably just swallow the bitter pill and try to get the best deal possible while jumping ship rather than have the deal imposed on them.

      and to add, attempts to reform the Empire will probably actually just make it more unstable. While the elites would probably love for it to work, I think many German Austrians are not quite as keen to the idea, and the Hungarians probably even less so. In my opinion, the condition that exists in the pre-WWI Austria-Hungary status quo were really only as stable as it was because the rest of Europe itself was fairly stable and balanced. Any big shakeup in Europe will inevitably rock Austria-Hungary, and WWI was that big shakeup.

It’s a silly idea, but I thought “why not?”
    Edit: My ideal PoD would be 1943-ish, probably December. Doing it in 1944 seems too late, and any earlier and a majority of the worst of it won’t have happened yet. If you set the scenario let’s say December 20, 1943, the Claus family contacts the Allied command and insists on intervention. PH HMU 🤙

    While i think i can agree on a lot of fronts here, the one thing i am almost certain on is the ottomans would not get away with that by any means. With an Empowered Bulgaria and Italy, as well as a still rather influential england, even the germans would have to realize that the ottomans were going to far.
    I see it far more likely within the 20s or 30s that they find themselves dismantled, possibly even before the austrians, to prevent the extermination of groups like the Armenians. This hadn't even considered that the christian population was made larger by the war, making their success far less likely than in our own timeline.
    While i think the other situations were fairly decent takes, I can't say i could see the ottomans getting away without imploding even more so than the austrians

      I think the most likely scenario for the Ottomans is that the CUP would be overthrown after the war and be replaced by a more moderate nationalist regime led by Mustafa Kemal, who would seek to modernize the empire and assert it as a Great Power in its own right. But when Kemal inevitably dies, his successors will be unable to replicate his successes, and the empire would be torn apart from inside and out, both by internal nationalist groups and hungry foreign powers looking to gain from the destruction of the Sick Man of Europe.

      I disagree, as stated in the video, ottomans are essential for germany and british, even for italy. It would probably be A play ground for influence. I think the most important factor that will be deciding the Fate of the empire is the emerging factions. So if a modernist faction emerge, ottoman empire could die off like you Said as the government wants to kill out the foreign influence. But if a more appeaser faction emerge, things May go like shown in the video. And if ottomans collapse, middle east would be likely same with our timeline except for few german colonies and influenced states scattered.
      In addition to this, I dont think nations would really care about miniorities getting expelled or even exterminated as it would be more beneficial for them to stay in controle of more intact and strong in theory state.

      I can understand where that point can be made, especially seeing how the British treated the Ottomans prior to ww1, but I just don't think History backs it up.
      To start, it should be noted that the ottoman's goal would be less of a Christian population, not more, so taking in more Armenians and Georgian land is already pushing the limits. But then, to say the ottomans and young Turks would just continue to push the slaughter further against an even larger population with no one stepping in is absurd. The Bulgarians had lost land two years prior to the war starting against the Ottomans, and if given such victories, they have no reason to stand by. The Germans may want an ally to control the straights, and if Bulgaria is positioned as a rising power, they likely would favor them over the ottomans, which, there's a chance the British or any of their neighbors could step in.
      Saying that other nations wouldn't care is absurd, most of our best sources on the matter come from outside observers in the Ottoman empire, as most Turkish sources at outright propaganda on the matter. The Russo-Turkish war 40 years prior started over outrage from Ottoman treatment of minorities, and while the other powers had intervened in the Crimean war, they stepped back here as their own populations were horrified at how barbaric the ottomans were. I don't see any difference here, as the Ottomans are far more likely to be split up between the other powers, Germans included, then to be allowed to expand such horrors

      @@aquarius3848 I see.
      First off, world countries such as germany and british in this timeline does not really care about miniorities getting slaughtared, they only intervene or "care" if they have something to gain from it. We can see this even today, look at USA, they "Liberated" Iraq to stop terrorism and inhumane actions commited by saddam husein, they did their job, ended authoritarian and oppresive regime. But now? Iraq is mostly left behind as a backwards state, struggling with terrorist organisations and economically destroyed. This can also be Said about Afganistan, even further, they stopped the oppresive regime and a decade later, more oppresive one came. Our topic is not modern times but i found this to be a good example. The old days of fighting for jesus had died after reform and renaissence. Countries dont care any more if millions People gets killed, unless it effects them.
      I also think that ottomans main wealth wasnt their straits, yes it is also an important trading hub but it is not as important as natural recources in anatolia and arabia such as chromium and boron in Turkey and oil fields in arabia. Also anatolia and northern arabia is famous for its cloth and cotton production. So using bulgaria as a tool to control straits is A good option for germany but keeping the ottomans intact and securing influence over it is a better option.
      Furthermore, i dont think ottomans could have survive much longer, at max late 40 or mid 50 is its maximum living date as there is no Way ottomans can come up with a solution to Live past that, already old and useless ruling traditions, turkish population ruling over arabs and cristhians "quite oppresively", destroyed economy and great powers gambling over their natural recources. This leads me to believe ottomans will eventually die, but not like exploding into multiple pieces. There is 2 out comes i believe:
      First: Everything goes similar to our timeline, a turkish state is created and rest is divided between germany and british possibly french.
      Second: Ottoman empire collapses and shatters into multiple pieces and your scenario takes place.
      I believe the first one is more realistic and possible but i wont make a comment on the second one as i want to hear your toughts first.

      See, again, don't worry, I understand where you are coming from, but I personally just don't see it as a realistic thing, besides that in the end, the ottomans will collapse one way or the other.
      To start, the Americans and British both acted as outside observers in regards to what happened to the Christian populations, and in this scenario, the Greeks are actually likely to start the international uproar, let alone the other powers I've previously mentioned.
      They had maintained neutral for the war, and had ties to both the Germans and British. If the ottomans started to slaughter and displace the entire Greek population, let alone the Armenians and other Christian populations, it is fairly likely that the ottomans are dropped so the Germans and British can carve oil rich regions away, while the Christians likely form a state at least in the caucuses between the Georgians and Armenians, likely reaching into Anatolia. The Bulgarians likely push for Constantinople if they see their chance with Germany turning on the ottomans, while the Greeks would likely at least try for the West Anatolian coast, although similar to our timeline, there's always the chance the Turks at least repel and hold onto Anatolia.
      The idea that the ottomans are propped up even further when even the Turks are done with the ottoman empire by the point of the war , let alone the Arabs, is just too unrealistic.
      With the Christians, Arabs, and Turks all against this state (note that migrated circassians and Kurds weren't as opposed to the ottomans at this point), it is very unlikely the ottomans last for long at all after the war, let alone if they commit even more atrocities, which would get their allies and neutral parties up against them.
      The Greeks, Italians, Germans, British, and Bulgarians all have claims to wanting the empire, and even Reza shah in Persia could have an eye on the Azerbaijan region, although that last one is a bit more far fetched. I just can't see the ottomans lasting for long enough, and they likely would be torn apart by various powers as attaturk would miss his chance to modernize the state.
      That's another note, for all we know, attaturk could still overthrow the other young Turks in an attempt to disband the empire from within, as many Turks had grown rather opposed to the empire prior to the war, and winning the war likely wouldn't change this.
      Overall, I think there are just far too many internal and external factors to let this slide. I think the fact that the Greeks were neutral during the war yet had their people treated so horribly would likely be the tipping point, as the Germans could no longer bury their heads in the sand, and the British would likely jump at the opportunity to gain valuable land with a valid excuse following their loss in the great war. This could then coincide with Arabs, Christians, and Turks under Attaturk revolting plunging the region into chaos realistically before even the Austrian collapse.

      Whatever our wildest ambitions were we couldn't be interested in something like that where we are neighbours to Italy. At the time the kingdom is not nearly enough developed for such an empire like state. Allegedly we were the largest population in Balkans but this Yugoslavia thing is weird. A whole bunch of Serbs in middle and a whole bunch of others folks in lands that simply don't matter to Bulgarian ambitions. Consolidating in the neighbourhood seems to make much more sense than Yugoslavia. Them Serbs couldn't handle it in real time line. They got massive beating in ww1 and that gift to them is more generous than they deserve or could handle. Should've been given something like till west Bosnia. They weren't ready to control so much and obviously didn't had the money to do so. Neither would we Bulgarians. It's said that in 1st Balkan war there were not enough rifles to equip the whole army that fought in the war. That war is only a few moments prior to ww1. By having gained Yugoslavia we do not get to loot places filled with endless riches. Again Serbs in middle. What would be gained from conquering them? Nothing of the necessary level that requires handling an empire.

    Trialism would not have happened. The Austrian emperor would rather have attempted federalism, like he wanted to in our timeline. The preparations were actually made in October 1918, but that was too late. So in this timeline it would be more realistic if that happens instead of Trialism. And the thing is, the South Slavs (Croatians in particular) weren't actually that unhappy with the Habsburg rule. They were split pretty much evenly between joining a federation with Austria and joining a Yugoslav state. Who knows what would've happened had federalism been introduced earlier.

      Believe it or not Ottomans actually were modernizing. After the 1908 Young Turks revolution and overthrow of autocratic Abdulhamit II, democracy was restored to the empire and sweeping reforms were being made. It's just that in the aftermath of the catastrophic First Balkan War, 3 Pashas staged a coup and took over. After that WW1 killed the empire. But if they were given some breathing time and not get attacked constantly, Ottomans could've remained a relatively stable modernizing Democracy.
