the royal navy was pursuing a german fleet through the mediterranean and they managed to make it to turkey. they could only stay a while in a neutral port (because people somewhat obeyed the laws of war back then) so instead of heading back out to sea to get obliterated, they decided to hand their ships over to turkey, who in some gigabrained turn off events immediately used their new boats to attack the russian navy (british ally) in the black sea to limited effect and straight up got themselves into their own 2 front war.
