The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire was on this day..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmed_VI

poor Sultan mehmed had the dishonour of bieng the last Sultan, but in reality the Sultanate died 13 years earlier when Sultan Abdulhamid the second was deposed
by the zioninst controlled Young Turk movement....


What would the world have been like if abdulhamid remained in power and his counter coup was successfull in 1909?
No entry into WW1..

Survival with neutrality into WW2 and beyond imagine the economic and political power of a surviving Osmanli sultanate..

They called it the sick man of Europe but it wasnt sick and it was attacked and gang raped and it put up a hell of a fight on 4 fronts
and handed the British Empire 2 devastating defeats in Al kut and Gallipoli, and it was still fighting and intact all the way into 1919 long after the Russian and Austohungarins collapsed completly.

The Young Turk Revolt was in 1908, which followed the Young Ottoman's revolt in 1876:

"First Constitutional Era, 1876-78
The First Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire was the period of constitutional monarchy from the promulgation of the Kanûn-ı Esâsî (meaning "Basic Law" in Ottoman Turkish), written by members of the Young Ottomans, on 23 November 1876 until 13 February 1878. The era ended with the suspension of the Ottoman parliament by Abdülhamid II."

The second period of constitutional rule began in 1908. You get the idea reading the articles that the last several sultans participated very little in the actual government.

"The Ottoman Caliphs never claimed to be religious descendants of the Prophet but they were nonetheless an important authority figure within the Ottoman Empire. Muslims of India and of Anatolia supported and recognized the Ottoman caliphate for instance. As Sultans of the Empire, the Ottoman rulers had a very strong position, but the Sultan of Morocco, the Mahdists of the Egyptian Sudan, the Senussi in the Libyan Desert, the Wahabis in central Arabia, never acknowledged the title of Caliph as being higher than the Sultans' as the leader of state. Such recognition was also not given by the Arabs of the Hedjaz, Palestine, and Syria, which contain the holy places of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem.

The last official remnant of the empire—the title of caliphate—was constitutionally abolished on 3 March 1924. With the abolishment of the Ottoman Caliphate by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, throughout the country from Mecca to Aleppo, the Ottoman Caliph's name was replaced in the Friday liturgy by that of Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca, the hereditary guardian of the holy cities of the Hedjaz, who is referred to as "The Commander of the Faithful".

If I am not mistaken, Saud and Wahaab are the inheritors of this mantle.

Meanwhile, the Turks still have all of Turkey and a toe-hold in Europe.
