I'd give the ottoman empire (and by association the axis) modern weapons in WW1
If I ever successfully create a time machine, I'll put Wednesday before Thursday. Just for the luls
Tbh that would be a nice harmless troll lol
Why on earth would you do that?
Too see what happens? If it ends up worse then I could always just go back and stop myself
It ends at the atom bomb that’s kinda a hard stopping point.
What if in this timeline Germany (or one of the other central powers) invents nukes
You mean the Central Powers.
For all we know, that may avert WWII. WWI was less of a clear cut good/evil fight.
The Ottomans would turn around and kick Austria's ass after they were done with Russia though. It'd end up being a more protracted affair when the Sublime Porte gets it's revenge.
I don't think so at this point we were already the dieing man of europe
Yeah, but automatic weapons changes that significantly.
Oh yh we could have made bank from selling modern weapons to other central powers and reconquer old ottoman territories
Oh yh but this would be an interesting outcome without the Central powers losing the treaty of Versailles wouldn't have been signed that means Hitler wouldn't have as much support (the ottoman empire would up the same we were already dieing, bit this time entand won't be involved)
Germany might also be kicked out of Africa later then they were
The Austro-Hungarian Empire would not have split and the US would never have gotten the postwar economic boost that made it a great power. The Cold War would have been tripolar, with Germany dominating Europe and probably the world.
Europe might be entirely different
