Their victory meant little since the unrest continued, with a 1909 countercoup to the Young Turk coup, followed by three countercoups. </p><p>In 1914, although they were utterly disorganised, the Ottomans attacked <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russia</a> and declared war. <a href="/wiki/Britain" class="mw-disambig" title="Britain">Britain</a> and <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a> went to war with the Ottomans, and <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> had come to what remained of the Ottoman Empire. </p><p>The Ottomans performed better than had been expected early in the war.
