    Ottoman Empire stays out of WWI, how does this changes the course of the war?

    From what I've been reading about WWI, the Ottomans and Young Turks weren't exactly keen on joining the war because they preferred to focus on improving the empire instead of wasting money and energy they didn't have into a war.
