During the Napoleonic wars British armies played a relatively small role in the war against France, Britain's main job was to use it navy to blockade the French and seize colonies, and bankrolling its continental allies effectively financing their war effort.
Is there a way for a first world war to develop like this? that is Britain's role would be largely naval and financial with only a small expeditionary force fighting the Boche. Britain would be responsible for arming feeding, and clothing French and Russian armies while British armies are largely confined to seizing German colonies in Africa. I'm thinking that if the initial German push is some how stopped much earlier (or there's somehow an initial French push) and the Turks never join the war this is quite possible.
