Why Were the OTTOMANS so USELESS in World War 1?????

The Ottoman Empire fought alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War 1, yet their military performance was disastrous. Outdated, poorly equipped, and badly led, the Ottomans struggled on the battlefield, suffering massive losses. By the war’s end, their empire was dismantled by the victors.
So, why was the Ottoman military so ineffective in WW1? What led to their downfall? In this video, we’ll break down the failures of the Ottoman war effort.

This video is based on research from the following key works, among others:
Eugene Rogan, The Fall of the Ottomans: The Great War in the Middle East (2015)
