I'm looking for input, advice and timelines on what happens internally within the Ottoman Empire in a Central Powers victory.
For my purposes the exact nature of how the central powers win isn't that important. The situation should be somewhat comparable to the one of the allied powers in 1918 - vicotry, but not necessarily an easy one.
I'm thinking especially in terms of:
- Could the Ottomans help German efforts in Africa with a land connection to the continent through Egypt(I'm assuming Egyptian independence/Ottoman alliance as part of a peace deal)?
- Can the empire hold together, for how long, and could it remain in its pre-war form for a considerable amount of time?
- What would oil mean for the economy (probably a lot)?
