I'd give the ottoman empire (and by association the axis) modern weapons in WW1

You mean the Central Powers.

For all we know, that may avert WWII. WWI was less of a clear cut good/evil fight.

The Ottomans would turn around and kick Austria's ass after they were done with Russia though. It'd end up being a more protracted affair when the Sublime Porte gets it's revenge.

Yeah, but automatic weapons changes that significantly.
