well the US has joined the war and I'm pretty sure the Entente now has this in the bag

Yeap pretty much. A few distractions, but as soon as the US entered the war it was all over. Only question is how long it takes and how much it costs.
Spoilers honey. It's very different from what you might expect. A little more than a pistol shoot in the foot, more like a shotgun blast.
Tease, tease, tease. You torture us but I know you love to do it.
I can not deny that I'm afraid
Oh there is one qualification to that. Assuming they can get into combat before the French, who've been carrying the entire weight of the war in the west for two and a half years, can lose it. Or the Russians collapse.
Just delurking to say how much I’m enjoying this! One small thing though- it doesn’t explicitly say that the country the British are fully occupying in October 1915 is Persia

Thank you I'll fix that.
Right now I know how the war turns out, time to figure how the peace turns out.

Welcome to reality, war is the easy bit however peace is a lot harder and TBH seeing as you setting up a German screw thats a fair birt of round two twenty years down the road
Not exactly, Zaitian will crop up again as will his son. But the Qing sadly had to. The southern Chinese had to break with the "foreign" Qing to have any chance of retaking the north
eh by this point the French offensive at the utmost officers should either be dead or cashiered or the troops would have mutinied by now and sane men put in their place so I'm pretty sure the Entente can carry this threw
That's the key to this. At this point in the war, nobody is keen on bringing the British in on the other side. The loss of one small port in a colony is just not worth bringing the British into the war.

Just loving the whole logical flow. By the by, it’s Brest Litovsk. One little snippet I love is that when the RN took 120 steam trawlers under the colours in 1914 they found it impossible to crew them and eventually conceded that’s the fisher fleet could do it better. Virtually all the original crews signed up and a new rank of ‘Skipper RNR’ was created.
Exactly, trawlers are easy to convert. There is a downside. You can convert too many, gutting your fishing fleet. I believe this is what the British did OTL
