What was the role of the ottoman empire in ww1? what did the ottoman empire do before and throughout ww1?

The Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers to form the Triple Alliance with the signing of the August 1914 Turco-German Alliance. Turkey formally entered World War I on 28 October 1914 with the bombing of Russian Black Sea ports. The Triple Entente, or Allied Powers, declared war on the Ottoman Empire on November 4.

Before WW1, the Ottoman Empire was mostly handling civil unrest and immense diplomatic tension amongst itself, in order to create a tyrannical sense of order, military action was taken. It was common, but things like this did happen.
