No war in 1914 means Moltke Jr retires as Chief of German General staff. His replacement could execute a much better (or worse) Schlieffen Plan.
In any case the best situation for Ottomans would be both sides exhaust each other without a clear winner while Ottomans use neutrality to fix the economy , get rid of capitulations and reorganise the army .

well if the Germans attack through Alsace and nt Belgium the UK may not do anything so that would change things, if the UK is not at war and let the UK sort out Ireland, stop the Liberal Party split, prevent the rise of the USA economically and militarily, or slow it down. A more left Government would affect India (for the better probably) and screw Russia even more. All good things. .
Speaking of Ireland their first general election under the home rule act is about to start.......
The Liberal Party is definitely going to have a peculiar future ahead ittl.
Goodness gracious this is going to get ugly.
By the way, how long did Ali Kemal serve as Grand Vizier? Two years (1912-14)?

In terms of the US recession, I dont think it will last long with war on the way. The belligerent powers are going to need both raw materials and war material in huge quantities, and the US, both with an inevitable need to rearm and the profit to be made is low hanging fruit.
It's also a pretty dumb idea for the Great European powers to disinvest from the US, given the fact that they're going to be spending so much money to wage war and they're suddenly going to need access to US loans. Besides, each time that there has been a downturn, the US has bounced back

I cant say much about France against Germany, it seems the War was avoided as much as it can, but if it doesnt spark in Alsace, it will spark in Serbia, Russia or other powderkeg.
Now, about the Depression... Maybe other countries can take advantage of the situation and get nice deals to trade, more the case of countries focused on infrastructure.
indeed......
Yes. Ahmet Riza on the other hand has an interesting premiership ahead! His cabinet does include some of the most competent men of the age,
Kind off. Economics is a bit more complicated than that. During inflation, getting even more money by selling stuff is going to create even more inflation, so not really clear cut as it seems
Not exactly. In 1907 Britain, France, Germany and A-H threatened the USA that another recession would see their banking investments out because the USA went into depression too damn frequent. (1873,1879,1887,1893, 1899, 1902, 1907). Since it has happened, the great powers are taking their shares away from the US banking sector, deeming it to unstable. OTL, Roosevelt's anti-trust campaign was partially due to this promise from the rest of the great powers.

Will there be any more updates of this timeline before it's put on hold with honeymoon?
War could have been avoided otl as well.......history shows us that the easiest wars to avoid are the deadliest.....
Basically what they're trying to do is this.
actually all of these chapters are pre-written. I just upload them with the pictures and some grammar corrections and that's it.
I feel im going to spoil you so i will only say good luck on these deals!
