聯合派也曾對未來充滿希望,但擺在他們面前的卻是來自奧斯曼邊境內外的種種威脅。他們擔心阿拉伯人會被自己的民族主義運動沖昏了頭腦,並把亞美尼亞人的政治抱負看成是對奧斯曼帝國存亡的一種威脅。安納托利亞東部地區的各個行省曾是亞美尼亞人改革的目標,땤且他們有歐洲列強撐腰;但這裡同時也是土耳其行省的心臟地帶。亞美尼亞團體跨越俄土邊境的聯繫更加劇了分離主義對奧斯曼帝國的衝擊。
青年土耳其黨人將俄國視作能對奧斯曼帝國的存亡造成影響的唯一也是最大的威脅。俄國對安納托利亞東部地區、達達尼爾與博斯普魯斯兩海峽,甚至是奧斯曼帝國首都都虎視眈眈。돗盼望奧斯曼帝國消亡已是盡人皆知。因此,奧斯曼當局不得不尋求友善的歐洲盟友聯合遏制俄國的這種大國野心。直到時間進入致命的1914年,奧斯曼帝國夢寐以求的防禦夥伴仍未눕現,這最終把奧斯曼帝國拖入了一戰。
