<Snipped quote by The Nexerus>I did read the OP. And it makes no sense because UK would've known they're the next in line. Like I said among some other reasons the purpose of WW1 was the revision on colonization, which obviously involves the UK. Even if the UK doesn't wish to enter the war, they will. Just like how it happened with America (thanks to Germany's hilariously bad plan to use Mexico to attack the USA). Either way even without Belgium allowing passage and the UK actively fighting if the German leadership is less desperate and wait till the Bolsevik uprising makes Russia exit the war it ends circa around 1917-18. So that's better for the timeline.

The only thing I'm not sure on is whether Austria-Hungary would informally break up in 1917 like it happened in history. Suppose they don't if the war will be in their favor. Absolutely not if we go with the above scenario and the French get overwhelmed "quick" a year before this would've happened. I'm also not sure if Italy would side with the Entente without the UK trying to convince it (and how the French would be at the brink of defeat).

I realize it may not be the most accurate scenario, but the way I have it setup makes things a lot easier on me.
