In 1914 the Young Turks and the Ottoman government received a 100 million dollar loan (2.5 billion in today's money) The plan was to spend the money on Public lighting, Intercity railways, transportation, and other big plans for infastructure in the Ottoman empire, as well as modernizing the Ottoman navy, military, and education.
But then
Bum Bum BUMMMMM
World War I.
But if the Central Powers win the war, would part of the peace agreement with the Ottomans, including other reparations in Territory, and money, would the Ottomans say they don't have to pay the French their loan?
And if anyone knows what happens to France after the central victory, what happens to the French after a central power victory? Like a revolution or something?
