when did the ottoman empire drop out of ww1
History of the Ottoman Empire during World War I On 30 October 1918, the Armistice of Mudros was signed, ending Ottoman involvement in World War 1. The Ottoman public, however, was given misleadingly positive impressions of the severity of the terms of the Armistice. They thought its terms were considerably more lenient than they actually were, a source of discontent later that the Allies had betrayed the offered terms.[27]
Churches of Christ Though not officially recognized as distinct movements until 1906, the separation of the Churches of Christ and the Christian Churches had been taking place gradually for decades.
Gallipoli Campaign On 27 October, Goeben and Breslau, now Yavûz Sultân Selîm and Midilli, conducted the Black Sea Raid, a sortie into the Black Sea, where they bombarded the Russian port of Odessa and sank several ships.[30] The Ottomans refused an Allied demand that they expel the German missions and on 31 October 1914, formally entered the war on the side of the Central Powers.[31][30] Russia declared war on Turkey on 2 November, the next day the British ambassador left Constantinople and a British naval squadron off the Dardanelles bombarded the outer defensive forts at Kum Kale on the northern Asian coast and Seddülbahir on the southern tip of the Gallipoli Peninsula. A British shell hit a magazine in one of the forts, knocked the guns off their mounts and killed 86 soldiers.[32]
Member states of the League of Nations Despite formulating the concept and signing the Covenant, the United States never joined the League of Nations.
Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 As a consequence of the Second Italian War of Independence and the Austro-Prussian War, the Habsburg Empire was on the verge of collapse in 1866, as the wars caused monumental state debt and a financial crisis.[28]
Central Powers It faced and was defeated by the Allied Powers that had formed around the Triple Entente. The Powers' origin was the alliance of Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1879. Despite having joined the alliance before, Italy refused to take part in World War I on the side of the Central Powers; the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria did not join until after World War I had begun, even though the Ottoman Empire had retained close relations with both Germany and Austria-Hungary since the beginning of the 20th century.
