You mean the Central Powers.

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

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.

Europe might be entirely different

[–] Dpof@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Germany might also be kicked out of Africa later then they were

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.

I don't think so at this point we were already the dieing man of europe

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but automatic weapons changes that significantly.
