The other day I was sitting and discussing what would have been the impact in history had Turkish Empire
had remained as unit in 1920 till now? Imagine had they been neutral in historic sense.
1. One of the things post ban on collecting Navy Tax from merchant ships was Empire was seeking
financing. Imagine the impact , when oil was discovered in Turkish territories (Known as Gulf countries)
had history been different?
Trillions of Dollar worth of $$ , and The Turkish Empire would have been the single point of Oil and power
to whole planet
(Just 1 Generation difference between Fall of Empire and Discovery of Oil in Middle east)
2. Perhaps Palestine would have been under Turkish control and there would have been no Israel
3. There would be no Dictators in Egypt / Libya , the money generated from Tourism would have further
provided revenue for the Empire. No monarchy in Gulf
4. May be there would be Shinkensen like train running between Africa/ Middle east / Turkey
5. With the funding from Oil money Turkey , would have certainly been involved in Space Race
With budget greater then of USA/Europe combined
6. Egypt / Libya / Tunisia would have been great hubs for trade in Africa , giant Mega ports of trade
Since there would be no suez canal
7. Perhaps may be there would be a Bridge from Oman to Pakistan 4, lane bridge
8 . Iran and Turkish empire would have perhaps enjoyed healthy trade, and there would be no iran -iraq war
9. UAE , major cities in Middle east would have pure Islamic architecture in buildings but on colossal scale.
10. There would be no Somali piracy as Somalia would have been absorbed into Empire to curb piracy
11. Pakistan would have may be joined the federation with Turkey in 1980 or may be in 1990
12. International Space Station perhaps would have Turkey as contributor
13. Turkey would have been representative on the Global Council with Veto powers
representing perhaps 15% of world population
14. Turkish Football league would be among the best in world combining talent from Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia , Libya, Gulf regions
15. May be Africa would have been more developed with roads, and resources
