The Ottoman Empire joined forces with the Central Entente Axis Allied powers during World War1?
The Ottoman Empire has formed various alliances with European States during its long existence.
During the early European Conquests, the territories of Moldavia and Wallachia (in what is now Romania) became vassals of the Ottoman Empire.
France also had a longstanding alliance with the Ottoman Empire (1500s-1800s) since both Empires opposed the Hapsburg Emperors of Austria and Spain. The British joined this alliance in 1852 to prevent Russian expansion into the Ukraine during the Crimean War. As France and Britain promoted self-determination in the Balkans, especially Greece, the Franco-Turkish Alliance dimmed.
In the years before World War I, the Ottoman Empire had good relations with Germany and Austria-Hungary, eventually creating an alliance with those powers and joining the Central Powers in that war.
