Germany, defeated, will lose the control or monopoly of the Kiel Canal, and possibly the country around it which she took from Denmark.

The Kiel Canal under international control will extend the Baltic Sea of the Russians and the Scandinavians most directly to the North Sea and the English Channel.
To the south Russia will have something to say in Asia Minor and much to say concerning Constantinople.

Certainly her influence in the Balkan States and on the Bosphorus will be as great as she could desire.

As long as the Turks remained loyal to England, Great Britain was bound to maintain their integrity and hold upon Constantinople and the Bosphorus.

With the passing of the Turk Constantinople is in the hands of the Allies when they are victorious.
