The Ottoman Empire entered the war that continued more than four years on German side and declared jihad. The declaration of jihad was a plan plotted by Germany. When Germany was stopped in Marne, Yser, Ypres and Mazuries' moors by the Allied Forces, all their clandestine plans went flat. In order to lessen the burden of the war, they had to get the Russian engaged in the Caucuses and the British in Egypt. For this reason, they terribly needed Turkey to go into the war on their side. Germany reckoned that of rebellion used by "Holy War" at least a portion of the Muslim world by exploiting the Unionists in Turan policies and by supporting it panislamist policy. The whole Islamic world of the colonial or semi-colonial state was formed in the negative factor for Jihad. Panislamist great propaganda activities were initiated after the declaration of Jihad.

While Berlin and Istanbul was became panislam propaganda centers, thanks to the fact that the neutral countries were tried to reach out propaganda purposes to non-Muslims in various ways. For this purpose, regardless of the Sunni-Shiite differences were the effort to establish alliances of panislamist politics issue. Turkish-German side tried to use the jihad policy at pilgrimage. At the same time, Entente Powers used all forces to tried to stop the propaganda made for this purpose and they were prospering. However, the application of Turanist policies and panislamist policy was causing to be questioned of Jihad. Besides, pan-islamist policy which was under the guidance of Germany, were refuted with big and strong arguments from the Ententes. Central powers Powers of jihad was important in the success, and even if it was frightening initially at successful military victory.

They passed into the ranks of Sharif Hussein's rebellion. Which began in 1917, the Bolshevik revolution was revealed as a chance to jihad but the Turks since then have other eyes Turan and was moving toward the Dagestan. However, germans' empeyal dreams and turks' turan dreams finished when USA took the place of tsarist Russia in the war.
