brits wanted the suez canal. ottomans told the brits to fuck off. brits sent infinity indians and italians at them. ottomans went bankrupt trying to rearm during the war because they couldnt produce their own equipment so brits finally stepped in on the mountain of allied corpses, as is british tradition, and finished the war. the peace treaty and bankruptcy of the ottomans directly led to turkish independence war where ataturk (formerly an ottoman soldier) took on like 5 armies at once with a shoestring budget and collapsed greece and got romania invaded by russia. thanks for that "lasting peace" brits!
