I'd give the ottoman empire (and by association the axis) modern weapons in WW1
You mean the Central Powers.
For all we know, that may avert WWII. WWI was less of a clear cut good/evil fight.
The Ottomans would turn around and kick Austria's ass after they were done with Russia though. It'd end up being a more protracted affair when the Sublime Porte gets it's revenge.
I don't think so at this point we were already the dieing man of europe
Yeah, but automatic weapons changes that significantly.
Oh yh we could have made bank from selling modern weapons to other central powers and reconquer old ottoman territories
