If the Greeks hadn't chosen a Bavarian king, that might be the way it is today. Even if the troops they could have provided didn't allow Churchill to take Gallipoli before the Turks could muster their reserves, the Greeks would no doubt have been the major and longest remaining part of the garrison of Constantinople after WW1. Perhaps with wartime experience and a large supply of surplus arms from Britain, they might have held that part of Asia Minor also.
