The unfortunate part about writing AH is that I can't ever cover quite everyone that should be covered. I've definitely noticed my own lack of anything related to the British Empire, for example. Anyway, I might have mentioned it, but if not I'll go into more detail that France supported the Ottomans against Russia during the various conflicts in the Balkans as well as Ottoman claims inSo what exactly has been going on with the Ottoman Empire in the lead up to war? With the Russians in the Quadruple Alliance its doubtful the Ottomans will join. Might they stay out of the Great War altogether as the League of Armed Neutrality seems poised to do? After all aligning with France doesn't have many tangible benefits. France/AH v The Quadruple Alliance while the other Great Powers selectively send aid to either side seems like a interesting conflict in the making, but I digress. Whatever does end up happening im sure it will be superb
the Caucasus. Essentially, allying with France is seen by the Ottomans as a way to get back land they lost in the Balkans and Caucasus as well as get revenge against the Russians. Which also has the added benefit of giving the failing government the prestige it needs to keep the empire together. I'll cover everyone's main reasons for war in the next update.
