From time to time I've dabbled in the game Diplomacy, which features the European powers of the late 19th/early 20th century competing for control of the continent. One fairly popular and effective strategy is an alliance between Russia and Turkey, sometimes referred to as "the Juggernaut" for its ability to roll over the western powers.
Now I realize that in real life, a Russo-Turkish alliance in that era would have been strange bedfellows indeed, so here's my challenge: with a POD no later than the end of the Napoleonic Wars, present a plausible scenario whereby Russia and Turkey end up on the same side of a major war around 1900. Bonus points if your POD is after 1870!
