Dardanelles Victory Timeline

This is an alternate history, with a point of divergence in early 1915. It explores some possible consequences of an allied victory during the Dardanelles operation. I've divided it, unlike Gaul, into four parts.

Planning before the operation. Complete, though subject to change without notice and for no reason.

The operation itself. Same status.

The subsequent course of the war. Complete, and even more likely to mutate.

History after the end of the war. Just an outline, with a few ideas, which may grow into a complete version some day.

Design philosophy. Some mumblings on the principles I followed when writing this timeline.

The beginnings of an essay on Why we shouldn't study alternate history. Honestly not worth reading yet, but I've left it there because maybe someone can tell me how it finishes.

Please send me feedback at David Bofinger. Other alternate history material can be found on my home page.

This contrafactual was partially inspired by a "reality seed" suggested by Erwin Wodarczak. Some of the earlier material was stolen from a published essay by Lieutenant H. K. Ackland, R.N.. Thanks to Demetrios Rammos for comments and suggestions.
