Europe Before The First World War The Alliance Search of The Ottoman State and The Introduction to War

Abstract

The conflicting interests of the Entente States with the Ottoman Empire resulted in many problems. Ottoman Empire, with its mineral resources, was both an obstacle and reason for cooperation and conflict among the Entente States. From the Ottoman perspective, in case of the pre-war alliances, there were two options. The first option was to stay neutral. However, this was risky, considering that, every great power had an eye on him and wants a piece of it. The second was to ally with Germany. Indeed, many members of the Committee of Union and Progress, such as Enver Pasha, Minister of War, Grand Vizier Said Halim Pasha, Interior Minister Talat Pasha and Parliament Speaker Halil Bey were favor of this option. According to these people, such an alliance would not only protect the Ottoman Empire, but also would help it to gain the lands and prestige it lost in the Balkans. Thirdly, an alliance with Germany would serve as a block against Russian threat and help the Ottoman Empire to free itself, in case Germany and it won, from Düyûn-u Umumiye debts and capitulations
