how the fuck did this happen?

They thought the french were strong but when they had to face reality they sided with the others. I mean it's pretty simple.

Prussiaboo chucklefucks

idk seems to me like they bet on the wrong horse then, seeing as france won the war.
i suppose it must've been more about opposing the anglos than anything else
kek

Russians were stronger than ottomans
That's all

they are natural traitors and sided with those whom they believed to be stronger.

As has any country since the dawn of man kind

Because Russia wanted to cut the Ottoman Empire up (and had already played a big part in doing so), the British wanted a similar goal, and France needed them a lot more than it needed the Turks. Meanwhile Austria and Germany were the major enemies of Russia and Britain.

WWI is

>Britain/France/Italy/Turkey/USA/Japan

vs.

>Germany/Austria/Russia/Balkan states

Who wins?

Without Russia holding up half of the German army by itself, France would have been invaded long before the US could have intervened.

would never happen since Germany n0. 1 priority was to make sure russia never gets its shit together. which they would fail spectacularly over the course of two world wars ironically enough

Ottomans first tried to get an alliance with Brits and French but they had other ideas for their Arabic territories. Especially British who wanted an easier path to India.

You guys must be from /int/
Turkey attacked Russia, which drew Russias allies(France and UK) into a middle east war

German ships attacked Russia with Ottoman flag after Ottomans already allied with Germany. Ottomans. Go read up on Ottoman decisions pre-ww1 they did try to get an alliance with Brits but three pashas realised after Brits rejected they must have plans for their territories and thought they either choose a side or get dissolved alone.

So it was a defensive war to stop british plans then?

No, it was more of a desperate attempt to not be scrambled and divided by 3 powers. They thought they could either fight in the war with allies or be dismantled alone later.

>sucks french cock
you clearly have no knowledge of history. you need to get back

They sided with whomever they felt would protect them and maintain their empire.
>Sided with Britain and France against Russia in the Crimea war because they were threatened by Russia
>Handed over territories like Cyprus, Kuwait and Yemen to Britain as protection payment in the 1890's still fearing Russia
>Sided with Germany believing they would protect them and from imperialist ambitions of Britain and France on their territories and thought Germany would help preserve the empire

There's probably tonnes more examples of this because Ottoman history is extremely long but seemingly they sided with whatever they thought would help them keep the empire.

>Hapsburg
>Haps
>p

WWI had the weirdest alliances.

>Russia allied with France, Britain and Italy, 3 enemies of the Crimean War
>AH and the Ottomans on the same side
>Bulgaria and the Ottomans on the same side
>Italy and Romania breaking their vows with Germany and AH

And WW2 didn't?
>most capitalist and most communist nations allied
>Hitler allied with Orientals
