Background
At the beginning of the 20th Century, Ottoman Empireball was called the "sick man of Europe" due to his low living standards, high rates of poverty, and general instability, especially with the  Armenians. Both had been engaged in armed conflict since the late 19th century, much to the ire of European nations, especially Russian Empireball. During the First Balkan War, Ottomanball was beaten by the Balkan League, an alliance of Balkan nations that were once his clay, and realized the need to modernize his army, a need that Germanyball was willing to meet in 1914 and convinced Ottomanball to join the war in October of 1914.
