I once had a conversation with somebody that claimed if Egypt (which was a puppet under Britain at the time) joined the Central Powers, this would completely change the war. He claimed that Egypt would divert significant amounts of the British army to Africa to the point where it would change the war in the Western Front. He also claimed it would give less pressure on the Ottomans allowing the Central Powers to defeat Russia sooner. He then claimed Germany will have time to launch an all out offensive on the Western front to knock out France sooner. I told him the British army will just clobber Egypt and that Britain isn’t fighting alone, it’s right next to Italian Libya. So anyways, what if Egypt joined the Central Powers?
