I've been thinking about a what-if scenario where the Ottoman Empire hadn't collapsed, however, there's a lot I'm not sure about:

1) What events would have needed to change for it to remain?

2) How might it have affected World War 2?

3) How might it have affected modern history?

I'm going to guess that if the sultans had been stronger morally and not misruled the Empire might have remained, but I also suspect at some point the Empire might have ended up being more akin to the United States, with various states established within it under the rule of a particular local group but united with the Empire overall.

Thoughts?
