I realize this might have been discussed before and if it has, someone putting links in this thread would be cool.

But yeah, on-topic. If the Ottoman Empire had stayed neutral during the war, how would the following questions get answered:

  1. How would it have affected the eastern fronts of the war, not to mention the Russian and British efforts?
  2. What would the Middle East be like after the war?
  3. Would the Ottomans have capitalized in Caucasus if Russia still collapsed?
  4. Would there have been further reforms?
  5. What about the Arabs, Kurds and Armenians across the empire? Would integration have occurred or a sense of Turkism occurred?
  6. How would the Jewish situation diverged?
  7. Would the Hashemites have remained as overseers in Hejaz and Al Rashid in Ha'il?
  8. Would the Al Saud have been conquered by the Ottomans and that territory either split between their Arab allies or merged into their territory?
  9. What of British interests in the area?
  10. But most important of all: Would alternate me still be as awesome as I?
