It appears that there was a serious attempt to get Afghanistan to enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niedermayer–Hentig_Expedition
Based on what it states in that article, Emir Habibullah supported Afghanistan neutrality while both of his successor as Emir of Aghanistan (Nasrullah and Amanullah) supported having Afghanistan enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers.
How, what if Emir Habibullah would have been assassinated or died as a result of an accident several years earlier than he did in real life and Afghanistan's new Emir (Nasrullah, presumably) would have decided to enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers? How would this have impacted World War I and what would have happened to/with Afghanistan after World War I in this scenario (after the Entente/Allies win World War I, which I don't see changing in this TL)?
Any thoughts on this?
