[quote=@duck55223] I realize it may not be the most accurate scenario, but the way I have it setup makes things a lot easier on me. [/quote]You asked people to help with other countries. I can help smoothing things out as much as my time allows it. As I said, UK couldn't have dodged participating in WW1. If their anti-french sentiments win out at best it means the Entente never forms and instead each nation would fight the Central Powers individually. Which would sure give an advantage to Germans regardless. Letting the Germans pass through Belgium is just an overkill. Similarly if the German leadership realizes it's stupid to provoke the USA when they have their hands full it can help their efforts a great deal. As for outcome, the war would've ended long before conquering France and the Central Powers would be satisfied to only take the colonies and some disputed land (plus portions they had already conquered). I predict this version of WW1 ending in 1917, maybe even before the Bolsevik uprising concludes. The lack of knowledge on the uprising's success may give them the uncertainty to not push this war further and go for the peace talks. After that the Central Powers would have their hands full with the colonies and in case of Hasburgs also some of the national issues. As for Germany's situation, nationalism will grow but something like the Nazi Party would never gain much power. A considerable source of anti-semitism was actually that Germans (and Austrians) were looking for an excuse why they lost the war.
