WI: The Ottomans Defeated the Russians

History doesn't work like a video game or Risk. For two such large empires with some vast and difficult disantces between them it is very very difficult to actually "militarily render them not existent as a state."

Yep. Each state had a center of power that was very far from the other's.
 
Well , even if the Ottomans somehow managed to do that - no - the only outcome I see from this is a Polish or Swedish Wank stretching all the way to the Pacific from the Baltic at the end of it.

Still , ASB baring Strangerverse hijincks. Which is ASB too.
 
Probably, but i don't see how assemble such an alliance.


Poland and the Ottomans had an Alliance through the 16th Century, and Charles XII was helped out by the Ottoman Empire in the Great Northern War.

Sweden and the Ottomans could be allied under a common cause (Russia) and Poland could be brought in because of there alliance with the Turks. And Crimea counts as the Tatars.
