I am listening to a book on CD re the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Apparently, allegedly, the Ottoman Empire getting into the war was in part due to Germany paying them some chunk of gold! The Ottomans were still not sure of entry and Germany then said that OK, well, we can agree with the Russians to divide up your lands between us.
Anyway, what happened, if anything to the gold that Germany gave or paid to the Ottomans?
