In a thread about the Ottoman Empire remaining neutral a few weeks ago, I pointed out that Ludendorff believed that the CP would have been defeated two years earlier if that had been the case. Reasons:
And how would the CP lose? Would they begin negotiations once it's apparent they're going to lose, or are they going to have to suffer decisive military defeats deep inside their own territory to accept defeat?
What would be the nature of the post-war world? What territorial adjustments would be made? With the war shorter, I assume European debts will be less than OTL, will a Great Depression still occur?

- Russia could have been supplied through the Straits
- Entente armies not tied down by Ottoman army, could have been used on other fronts
- Bulgaria does not join the war
- Serbia lasts longer, or does not fall
