The Peace of 1915

So if the Allies know that the Central Powere are running out of nitrates, and the CP is asking for terms.
?What kind of a Treaty are whe talking in 1915 -- as opposed to OTL's 1919 negotiations?

Well if the process failed competly then maybe me might be looking at a peace. However, there would still be other ways of getting ammunition. Remember, in WW1 the Germans were very innotaive.

What could be a replacement for Nitrate ? I need help....

Rather wild guess. Depends on how it turns out. At least France will want A-L back under their control. Almost certainly some repatriations for the invasion of Belgium. However depends on how it goes that might be about it. Britain might push for some limitation on the German fleet. Russia for gains in the east, say Posen/Galicia transferred to Russian Poland - which might backfire on them. Possibly if when the Russian advance into eastern Anatolia is at its height you might see some gain from the Ottomans there, which would limit the later massacres to areas further west. Difficult to say on the colonies overseas. Suspect the Germans would lose the Pacific ones and not complain too much about it, given they were basically indefensible. Probably also Namibia to S Africa. Could possibly keep the rest. Austria would I expect largely survive.

I.e. basically gains, but fairly minor ones [excepting A-L] for all the victors and no serious losses in terms of territory/population for the defeated powers. Would depend on how the various powers react to the results of the war as to where things go from there.

My initial suspicions would be very little. Possibly a limited Russia gain in Armenia, as they held part of it at one stage. Otherwise the technical loss of Egypt and Cyprus, which were still formally tribune states of the Ottomans until the latter joined the war and that's about it. The British and French will be more concerned, with Germany humbled at least for the moment, with keeping the bear from Constantinople to want to push a harsh peace.
