Before WW1 the Ottomans were known as the sick man at the Bosporus. German help made them to a vlueable allied in this war. German officers lead their army and navy. The best two ships of their navy were German ships, which switched the flag more officially than de facto. These ships were the BC Goeben, now Sultan Yavuz, abd the CL Breslau, now Midillih. At the Dardanelles the fortifications and defense positions were made by Germans and the troops were lead by Germans. Uboats were sinking at least 3 predreadnaugts. Only U 21, Klt. (Kapitänleutnant) Hersing, sunk two of them. After loosing at least 5 of these ships the allied navy had to withdraw. This was one fact of the disater. But I do not want to forget the bravery of the Turkish troops which beat such a big scale landing.
Due to this disaster Russia remained isolated from the other allies. Here was no way, the North route to Murmansk or even the route to Wladiwostock were not very suitable. And it was a dream to take the route through the Baltic. Mines, Uboats and the second strongest surface fleet of the world blocked this way.
I´m just playing the game and there are some smaller errors: The town NE of Kiel is called Esbjerg, Mernel is still Memel and Bremen is also a harbour city (Bremerhaven). The German fleet should be concentrated at Kiel or Hamburg, only a few ships at Stettin or Königsberg. Swinemünde (near Stettin) and especially Pillau were war harbours but not many ships were based ther- just enough to push back any Russian attack. This force should be supported by the High Seas fleet if a big Russian assault were launched. What about introducing all big ships of the Fleets 1:1?

At the beginning of the 20th century a large area of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, was ruled by the Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid II and his appointed Grand Vizier. However, the governors of the Empire's four provinces: Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Kurdistan and Arabia enjoyed a certain amount of autonomy.
Abdul Hamid II was forced to summon a parliament in 1908 by the Young Turks movement. He attempted a counter revolution in April 1909, and when this failed he was deposed and exiled to Salonika. Enver Pasha, eventually emerged as the new leader of the country.
In 1914 the Ottoman Empire contained an estimated 25 million people. Although there were 14 million Turks, there was also large Arab, Assyrians, Armenian, Kurdish, Greek and Circassion minorities within the Empire. As a result, there existed nationalist, separatist movements in several areas of the territory under the control of the Turks
The Turkish Army was made up of Anatolian Turks, Arabs, Armenians, Kurds and Syrians. The army performed badly during the Balkan Wars (1912-13) and it was clear that there was great need for reform. In 1913 Turkish government invited the German Liman von Sanders to help modernize its army.
On the outbreak of the First World War, 36 divisions were organised into three armies. Each division had three battalions, a machine gun detachment and 36 field guns. Although attempts were made to dramatically increase the size of the army, desertions meant that full strength was never above 43 divisions.

The ottoman leader in the WW1 was the Sultan Mehmed Resad (Mehmed V Reshad ) who acceded the throne at the age of 65 (in 1909) by the support of the Committee of Union and Progress (Ittihat ve Terrakki Partisi). He was not neither included nor interested in the government administrations during Abdulhamid IIs period. During his sultanate, the important members of the the Committee of Union and Progress, Talat Pasha and Enver Pasha had administrated the empire.
During the WW1 The Ottoman Empire fought in many front lines, but, Sultan Mehmed Resad just prayed for his army and not involved in any struggle, at last he died of a hearth attack in 1918.
Then please change the leader.

The constitution was amended to transfer real power to the Parliament. The army, and particularly Sevket Pasa, became the real arbiters of Ottoman politics.
Maybe we need tho change the goverment, the Ottoman empire had an inperfect parlamentary system

ottoman turkey was a severly messed u government by the time ww1 hit europe.
Not really, but that is one of the things that everybody say and in a few time everybody believes. The Ottoman goverment was far better than the russian, greek, Romanian and other european countries.
The Ottoman govermant was more and less like the austrian, and with less national problems. Remenber that Lawerence of Arabia must bribe the arabs to fight against the turks. They were a nice masters for the time.
The Ottoman Empire was not a Turkish empire as such, since Turks did not profit more from the benefits of the state than the peoples in non-Turkish territories. And even though the first sultans were Turkish, they generally married non-Turkish women, so the race of later sultans was not Turkish either.
The empire was through most of its period not a state in the modern sense of the word, but more of a military administration.
While the Ottoman Empire at its death bed had few friends, it still had offered its inhabitants many benefits through most of its existence. For Muslims it was considered as a defence against the non-Muslim world. For non-Muslims it offered a better life and more security than Christian states up until the 18th century. For most of its inhabitants it had offered career possibilities. And it offered peace and relative harmony to all its inhabitants despite cultural and ethnic differences.
Not bad at all for the firsts decades of the XXth century

GROUND FORCES
By August 1914, Britain had 247,432 regular troops. About 120,000 of these were in the British Expeditionary Army and the rest were stationed abroad. There were soldiers in all Britain's overseas possessions except the white dominions of Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
By January 1916 over 2.6 million men had volunteered for the British Army.
AIR FORCE
Great Britain founded the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in May 1912. It was decided that initially the BE-2 would be the main fighter plane. By the end of 1912 the RFC had one squadron of airships and three of aircraft. Each squadron had twelve machines.
At the beginning of the war the RFC mainly used the BE-2, Farman MF-7, Avro 504, Vickers FB5, Bristol Scout, and the F.E.2. By May 1915, the Royal Flying Corps had 166 aircraft. Therefore the vast majority of the operations on the Western Front was carried out by the Aéronautique Militaire, which had 1,150 aircraft available.
By the time the Battle of the Somme started in July 1916 the RFC had a total strength of twenty-seven squadrons (421 aircraft), with four kite-balloon squadrons and fourteen balloons. The squadrons were organised into four brigades, each of which worked with one of the British armies.
It was only with the arrival of improved fighter planes such as the Bristol Fighter, Sopwith Pup, Sopwith Camel, S.E.5 and Airco DH-2 that losses began to decline. Britain also developed new bombers such as the Handley Page and Airco DH-4. By the end of 1917 the British has established their superiority over the German airforce.
NAVAL FORCES
In 1914 the Royal Navy was by far the most powerful navy in the world. The Royal Navy's basic responsibilities included policing colonies and trade routes, defending coastlines and imposing blockades on hostile powers. The British government took the view that to do all this, the Royal Navy had to possess a battlefleet that was larger than the world's two next largest navies put together.
By early 1914 the Royal Navy had 18 modern dreadnoughts (6 more under construction), 10 battlecruisers, 20 town cruisers, 15 scout cruisers, 200 destroyers, 29 battleships (pre-dreadnought design) and 150 cruisers built before 1907.
After the outbreak of the First World War, most of the Royal Navy's large ships were stationed at Scapa Flow in the Orkneys or Rosyth in Scotland in readiness to stop any large-scale breakout attempt by the Germans. Britain's cruisers, destroyers, submarines and light forces were clustered around the British coast.
The Mediterranean fleet, of two battlecruisers and eight cruisers were based in Gibraltar, Malta and Alexandria. These were used during the operations to protect Suez and the landings at Gallipoli. There were also naval forces in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
AUSTRALIAN IMPERIAL FORCE
Australia's regular army was formed in 1901 and was backed-up by a part-time volunteer militia. All males of combat age were required by law to undertake military training on a regular basis. On the outbreak of the First World War the Australian government immediately offered to supply Britain with 20,000 troops. As the regular army was organised solely for home defence, a new overseas force, the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) was formed.
The first Australian Imperial Force troopships left Australia on 7th November 1914. These troops were sent to Egypt for training with British weapons. It was decided to put Australian and New Zealand forces together to form the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). Some were used to defend Suez but most of them were sent to the Gallipoli Front under General William Birdwood. The ANZACs suffered over 33,600 losses (over one-third killed) by the time they were ordered to withdraw in January 1916.
The Australian Navy contributed a battlecruiser, five cruisers and six destroyers. Two of Australia's submarines, the AE1 and AE2, were lost in naval operations during the First World War.
The Australian Flying Corps (AFC) was founded in 1914 and contributed pilots and aircraft to the Mesopotamian Front, Palestine and the Western Front. About 60 aircraft were lost over France during the war. The leading Australian Flying Aces included Robert Little (47), Roderic Dallas (32) and Arthur Cobby (29).
During the First World War Australia contributed 322,000 soldiers
CANADIAN CORPS
In 1914 Canada had just over 3,000 regular soldiers. Based at harbour fortifications, the Canadian Army was backed up by a militia of local volunteers. Expecting a war in Europe, during the summer of 1914 the Canadian government asked for volunteers to join a Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF).
Over 30,000 Canadian soldiers reached Britain for training at Salisbury Plain in October. Lieutenant-General William Anderson and the 1st Canadian Division arrived on the Western Front in February 1915 and immediately saw action at Ypres. Over the next two weeks the Canadians suffered 5,500 casualties.
Over 13,000 Canadians served with the British air services. Leading Canadian Air Aces included William Bishop, Raymond Collishaw and Donald MacLaren. About 3,000 Canadians joined the Royal Navy and another 5,100 sailors were recruited to protect Canadian waters.
Almost 600,000 Canadians joined the army during the First World War. Of these, 418,000 served overseas with the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF)
