Both of these groups where allies during ww1. These are not all of general staff of each country but are probably the most known.
In my objective opinion the Turkish general staff had more experience at the start of the war, only because they fought before dure the balkans and in Libya. The only war experience germans had at that time was the franco prussian war in 1877.

Most of the Ottoman and German high command where conservative revolutionaries, the Germans in exception to the Ottomans and other countries where also Social darwinists. It was not difficult for them to later become national socialists and start a war all over again.

The youngturk revolution in 1908 ousted most of the old reactionary garde in the high command. The youngturks themselves where a big tent pollitical party with many factions, one of these where the conservative revolutionaries who where pro German. Within a few years after this revolution a coup happened in 1913 and the state became effectivly a millitary dictatorship. The conservative revolutionaries that now holded the power followed a pan-Islamic pan turkist ideological line. Through Iran they wanted to reach india and from there to central asia to expel occupying forces from these lands.

*Germany became a millitary dictatorship in 1917.

Yes, Gallipoli was however their most advanced strategy against the old empire. Ottoman however won also in Iraq during the kut campaing and the carpaithian front where turks also fought.

The plan in gallipoli was to knock us out fast and supply russia. This didn't happen russia basicly starved. after the revolution we gained Azerbeycan and other lands in caucasus.

The state of the empire was most intact until the battle in armegeddon was lost.

The ancient fortress of Megiddo stands on Tell el-Mutesellim (Tel Megiddo), at the mouth of the Musmus Pass near al-Lajjun, controlling the routes to the north and the interior by dominating the Plain of Armageddon or of Megiddo

it's true that he is good looking. the thing with country is that it is quite subjective....

His place of birth is Selanik that lies in northern greece. during the indepence war there where hundreds of liberation movements. More then 50% of these where from a religious standpoint. The asignment to lead these movements was given by the last Ottoman sultan. he did not do this on his own initatieve.

So when he was leading these various movements mustafa kemal reprented himself as a muslim, a very pious muslim. Once the war was over he reversed himsef because he converted to atheism or was always like this.

Central anatolia was saved by Kazim karabekir, mustafa kemal fought for western anatolia, namely the places that where in direct greek occupation.

After the war he led 100000s of balkanic people in anatolia, for these where his ''people'' the problem started when these people where given the turkish identity for free. their grandchildren are the so called ''white'' turks and they hold the movie industrie, these are the left secular part of our population right now.
