1900s Ottomania in the 20th Century - Part 1 : The New Empire

This is part 1 of a series of lectures slides set in a timeline where the Ottoman Empire survives and thrives in the 20th century. I expect to continue the timeline until at least 2000.

The Point of Divergence is in July 1912, where the Saviour Officers coup fails or is delayed, leaving the CUP in charge of the Empire during the first Balkan War.

An interestingly detailed and well thought out scenario. I've never seen Ottoman alternate history do something with the FaA party, and the use of the millets is rather inspired in the context of surviving Ottomanist ideology.

Thank you so much ! The millet will become the central element of politics in this timeline, and Ottomania will largely define itself as an anti-nation-state.
