The Ottomans did not join the Allies. They aligned with the Central Powers, Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Ottomans remained officially neutral for a few months after the war began, but had a secret treaty of alliance with Germany from August 1914. This was aimed at the common enemy, Russia. The Ottomans openly swung into the losing camp in late 1914, after the Goeben and Breslau incident. These were two large German warships which were in the Mediterranean when the war began, and they then headed for Turkey. The ships evaded Allied fleets searching for them, reached the Dardanelles, and entered Ottoman waters. They were "transferred" to the Turkish navy but continued to be crewed by Germans. The ships went on into the Black Sea, and in late October bombarded Russian cities, causing Russia to declare war on the Ottoman Empire on November 2, followed by France and England on November 5.
There were five great, ancient empires which went into WWI, and only one emerged intact, though it took a few years after the war for the Ottomans to topple. Backing the losing side in the war made "Abdul the Damned" the last Sultan.
