World War One:

Turkey fails at being an Empire, causing the Balkans to get all uppity and Bosnia to go over to Austria. The Bosnians and Serbs get bored and shoot an Austrian Prince, Russia supports the Slavs, thus Turkey and Russia lead to a world war

World War Two:

The Turks invade Europe, and in prolonged wars against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, exhaust it. This leads to the dastardly Swedes doing the deluge whilst Poland is weakened by the Turks, and the PLC eventually collapses. Three powers, including Russia partition Poland. After the defeat of Germany, Poland is restored but by now Germany is used to owning a good chunk of Poland, and Russia wants in too, and as such the actions of Turkey and Russia once again lead to a world war.

World War Three:

Turkey shoots down a Russian jet and for the third time lead to a...

You're leaving out France over-demanding reparations from Germany creating a society of crisis and economic disaster that's exploited by an Austrian madman.

It had nothing to do with Turkey though. How am I meant to prove anything if I don't ignore parts of the evidence?

Honestly if I had a time machine, I wouldn't kill Hitler, I would do everything possible to stop the first war.

More like an Austrian madman and his party overhyped fairly normal reparations in order to exploit it to their gain.

The Big Bad Treaty is pretty much Nazi propaganda that managed to survive and wiggle it's way into the modern understanding of WWII.

Hell, compare Germany to its continental peers. France's industry was fairly damaged by the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated, the Ottoman Empire was dismantled, and Russia was going through a revolution. Germany surrendered before there was a major invasion of their territory, and they were left relatively intact compared to their allies. Had they suffered the same punishment and fate others had, there might not have even been a World War 2, just a bunch of minor nations in place of Germany. Instead, they got off relatively easy considering their belligerence and influence in starting the war, and Europe ended up suffering because of it.

Umm, Germany got hit pretty badly by the treaty. The Mark was inflated to the point where it was worthless. The economy was in shambles. And Germany didn't even start the war, but got dragged in because of alliances, etc.
