Let us assume that for one reason or another, the Ottomans do not get involved in the First World War. Therefore, our point of departure, for the purposes of this debate is during or after 1914. The Balkan wars are over, and most of the Empire is now in Asia. Presumably with the British focused elsewhere, there is no Arab revolt, and the House of Rashid succeeds in defeating the Sauds for control of Nejd and Hasa. However, what I do no know is what the consequences of these events would be. The discussion may get into the evolution of the Ottoman Empire after this point, but I want the discussion to focus on what the consequences are for the various statelets of the Arabian Peninsula with a surviving Ottoman Empire. Have at it.
