ottoman empire

Supposing, as a result of a preserved Franco-Russian Alliance, the Porte loses all de facto authority in the Balkans, Egypt, and North Africa about 50 year before OTL (so by 1830 or so -- or better still, before an Auspicious Incident can be arranged). As asked before:

IOTL, at the end of World War I, Turkey was allowed a free hand in the Caucasian Isthmus after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and the Treaty of Batum, which stipulated that the Ottoman Empire was allowed freedom of movement of goods and persons through the territory of the modern Republic of...

Germany and Russia had pretty good relations, until Germany, together with the UK, opposed the Treaty of San Stefano, forcing Russia to settle for lesser gains as per the Treaty of Berlin. So what would happen if Germany stayed neutral during the Eastern Crisis? would Russia still ally France...

Rumours have it that, in his deathbed in 1640, ottoman sultan Murad IV ordered the execution of his brother Ibrahim. However, the order was not carried out, and Ibrahim succeeded his brother as sultan. His reign was notably affected by his mental instability. But what if Ibrahim had actually...

After defeating and executing his brothers in 1513, Sehzade Selim ascended the Ottoman throne. What would have happened had he died (of illness, possible poisoning, etc.) shortly after ascending the throne? Would his nephew Murat have had a shot in this case? I apologize for any knowledge gaps...

How would this affect the outcome of the war? Would this change a lot of very little?

During the Ottoman Empire's height after conquering Greece they capture massive number of the hellenic people and ship them to Arabia. This takes place during the 17th century. They speak a language descended from Greek. Now I want you guys to come up with other aspects.

The pod is neutral ottoman empire in world war 1. Lenin get to power in Russia in 1917 and wwI end pretty same in 1918 with Versailles treaty. Ottoman capture Caucasian mountain and oilfields of Grozny and Maikop and Baku. first what happen to a Persian corridor of lend lease second what happen...

I know that the PoD could be placed before 1900, but i chose placing this thread in the "after 1900" forum since most ottoman military disasters occured in the span of ten years between 1911 and 1921. I was reading a wikipedia article on the First Balkan War and stumbled upon the "reasons for...

IOTL, there was an attempt on ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1905, put forth by armenian terrorists. The bomb that was thrown managed to kill 26 of Abdul's servants and acquaintances, but not Abdul himself. But what if the sultan had been killed that day? What are the ramifications stemming...

After the famous Battle of Mohács in 1526, which caused almost all of Hungary to be absorbed by the Ottoman Empire (except for a portion in the west, which was given to Habsburg Austria by treaty), the ottomans under Suleiman decided to follow up on their success and try to capture Vienna in...

I want to do a TL about it but I can't find a good POD (I thought that the UK intervening in the Russo-Turkish war could have done it, but I now realize that the UK would not had intervened). So are there any good PODs?

Is this plausible? Can the UK pull off something similar like they did in the Crimean War? And could the British-Ottoman alliance win?

Historically the Ottomans actually got quite close to taking Vienna. After two months the Ottomans had forced thee Austrians to fall back to the inner city and were close to breaching that as well. However, as we all know a strong relief force defeated the Ottomans before that could happen. But...

So I remembered this post by Indicus: So let's say this happens. How would the European powers react? How would the Janissaries react?

So I have participated in this year's MUN of my school and the committee I have joined is European Conglomerate. The committee is set during World War 1. The committee does not follow the actual timeline or war. Till now a lot has happened and one of the current update is: 150k Ottoman troops...

Šćepan Mali was a "Tsar" of Montenegro from 1767-1773. As a doctor at a monastery, he was one day proclaimed to have been Tsar Peter III of Russia. Though not actually the Tsar, Montenegrins had an appreciation for the Russian Empire in the time of Ottoman domination and supported Šćepan Mali as...
