Could the decline and collapse of the ottoman empire leave a bigger territory for the Turkish Republic? The one I consider more posible are the kurdish mayority northern Irak and Batumi (majority muslim at the time), but how could they keep eastern Rumelia or the aegean islands and cyprus? The regions of eastern rumelia show on map had a substancial muslim minority or even majority in some pockets, but still majority christian with hostile irredentist states on its frontiers, the same with the islands tough Crete muslim/christian ratio was almost 50/50.
