I'd give the ottoman empire (and by association the axis) modern weapons in WW1

Why on earth would you do that?

[–] Dpof@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Too see what happens? If it ends up worse then I could always just go back and stop myself

You mean the Central Powers.

For all we know, that may avert WWII. WWI was less of a clear cut good/evil fight.

The Ottomans would turn around and kick Austria's ass after they were done with Russia though. It'd end up being a more protracted affair when the Sublime Porte gets it's revenge.

Oh yh but this would be an interesting outcome without the Central powers losing the treaty of Versailles wouldn't have been signed that means Hitler wouldn't have as much support (the ottoman empire would up the same we were already dieing, bit this time entand won't be involved)

The Austro-Hungarian Empire would not have split and the US would never have gotten the postwar economic boost that made it a great power. The Cold War would have been tripolar, with Germany dominating Europe and probably the world.
