Turkey (or to be more precise, the Ottoman Empire) was an ally of Germany. It fought mainly against the British and also against the Russians (in the Caucasus). Given its geographical position the Ottoman Empire was a potential threat to links between Britain and India (and the Far East). It was also a potential threat (of sorts anyway) to British oil supplies from the Persian Gulf.
