You forgot one thing: Russia reforms into a constitutional monarchy, turning the Tsar into a figure head. That way, it's far more stable & reduces the chances of Tsar making any stupid mistakes

The worst mistakes were made under Republican governments

Great scenario! But I could see even more improvements to help the Russians such as Bloody Sunday ending better and the Russians winning the Russo-Japanese war to paint a better image of the tzar. Also as many have mentioned I do not believe the Russians would gain Constantinople, I see why you would think that they would get it but it's just to important for the brits to give to Russia, at best I could joint occupation, Lastly while unlikely you could of had Bulgaria join the Russians, if Russia worked closer with them you could have them join the against Germany and MABY just MABY they may gain Constantinople instead as a compromise deal. (Sorry this is so long, but just so you know these are not complaint's ,from what I've seen of your channel you make great stuff! these are just some bonus things I thought would be cool to add)

11:15 Russia wouldn't get Constantinople because neither Britain nor frances wanted them too. Likely an 'international zone''(british) would be created , similar to our timeline. (minor thing)Turkey could still become similar to what they were in our timeline , minus kurdistan and outer Armenia , IF they cooperate with the russians .If they don't then well the treaty of severes would be put into action . I consider the latter more likely due to a number of reasons. greece getting that much of western turkey is well , hard to see as they would become majority muslim or turkish with that unless a population exchange happens , I could imagine a smaller expansion in areas like smyrna 'n stuff

No matter what Britain and France wanted, it was not only promised to the Russians, but the Russians would have taken the majority of the casualties and would have been seen as crucial to the Western Entente to win the war and keep a balance of power. So they would have to give at least the city to them because of their contributions to future peace and overall performance in the war. Do you think the western powers wanted to give the soviets the Eastern Bloc. They were given it because they didn't want to fight a war over it.

@@TheCrazyHistorian Or the British could land troops in Istanbul and also punish the Ottoman government less to delay the Russians from taking Istanbul and prevent the Russians from approaching the Mediterranean from Anatolia. In return, the Russians could support Ataturk and try to weaken Ottoman power. And also because the Russians supported the royalists in Greece, if the Entente powers did not directly support the republicans, Greece would still be in civil war and could not spend resources to advance into Anatolia and Rumelia. This would lead to a different peace treaty. Maybe the Italians could try to take advantage of that.

@@TheCrazyHistorian i could imagine a lesser deal in which they can more easily send ships through the Bosporus or the city is made into an international zone with both british and russian overside
