The Ottoman Empire capitulates in 1916 before the Entente can completely overrun Syria and Iraq and before the Sykes-Picot Agreement is signed.
Instead of losing all of it's territory and then suffering a internal civil war, the Ottoman Empire loses a large degree of it's territory (mostly in the Arabian Peninsula below the 30th parallel north) and it's religious government (including the sultan) remains in place.
