[WHAT IF GERMANY WON WW1? | KAISERREICH LORE: OTTOMAN EMPIRE, BULGARIA, GREECE, ARABIA, IRAN, CAUCASUS]

This fictional Kaiserreich Documentary series explores the alt-history timeline of the world’s most popular fan-built alt-history IP, ‘Kaiserreich.’ In the world of Kaiserreich, Germany and her Central Power allies win WW1, leading to a world very different from our own.

In the seventh episode of this tentpole series, Kaiserreich developers and KCC writers explore the fate of the struggling Ottoman Empire, and its waning status as hegemon of the Southern Balkans and the Middle East. In Constantinople, the Ottoman Sultan’s reign is fading. The ancient Empire that once stretched from Tunisia to the Caucasus is now a shell of its former self. In the North, the unreliable Bulgarians and the revanchist Greeks prepare to redraw the map of the Balkans. In the South, Ottoman rule has all but retreated from the lawless deserts of Arabia, now home to growing bands of Arab freedom fighters.

For the Sublime Porte, former allies have become bitter rivals. Constantinople and Berlin fight each other openly in the Caucasus in a series of proxy wars. The Central Powers alliance of old has dissolved into irrelevance, and Constantinople now stands alone. To make matters worse, the fall of the British Empire has thrown the Middle-East into turmoil. Egypt and Persia, now free of British influence, rise to challenge the Sultan in Constantinople. Their growing alliance, the Cairo Pact, vows to rid the Arabian peninsula of Turkish rule for once and for all.

Eight years ago, the Ottoman Empire barely survived the Great War. It is yet to be seen whether she will survive the Desert War to come...
