The Footstool Empire would’ve collapsed at some point soon thereafter anyway. Buy the turn of the 20th century they had become woefully incompetent at managing such a large and diverse empire. It was basically a corrupt oligarchy like modern day Russia, but with a much less effective security apparatus to keep everything glued together.

could be argued that had the Ottomans survived WW I, there is no 9/11, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Lebanon, etc or middle east strife.
The British and French so totally fricked the Middle East after the great war. They deserve way more shite for the foundation builders of the strife, war, and hell scape that pace currently is.

Anything can be argued. Britain survived WWI and lost its empire, the Soviet Union survived WWII, and lost its empire. Nationalism and ethnicity are powerful things.
