How would an industrialized Russia fight WW1?

What if in an alternate timeline, The Netherlands kept Belgium because there is no Belgian Revolution in 1830.

In September 1915 Bulgaria joined the Allied powers in WW1 after being offered Ottoman Thrace and border corrections with Serbia (later Yugoslavia). But what if it had joined the Central Powers? As far as I know Germany offered a much larger territory to Bulgaria, almost 60% of Serbia.

London 1917; '... I speak for all people's on this fair isle, I speak for all in any class, I speak for this nation when I say; Britain must leave the war!' The crowds erupted in cheers to the words of Oswald Mosley. He was a famous figure, having gained a reputation for his bravery and...

I'm in the planning stages of my first Post-1900 timeline, and I've decided to focus it on the aftermath of an early Entente victory in WW1. I'm considering PODs like Plan XVII being rejected or the British Expeditionary Force advancing between the German 1st and 2nd Armies. Would either of...

(The title is misleading. Not exactly Napalm, but something similar is created, and acts like Napalm) In a hypothetical scenario, what if Scientists discovered before 1914, on making an earlier form of Napalm or something similar Then WWI starts, and like poison gas, Botha sides started using...

Basically as the tin says. IOTL, Constantine I had been suffering from pleurisy for quite some time and almost died in 1915. So, what if he had actually died two years into his reign and been succeeded by his eldest son, George II? Would George II have continued his father’s policy of neutrality...

In 1905, the Royal Navy embarked on a brand new trajectory, commissioning construction of HMS Dreadnought, an all-big gun battleship with a main battery of 10 x 12” guns and powered by turbine engines. This changed the nature of battle-fleets, and immediately rendered all previous capital ships...

The Mexican Revolution got hot exactly around the time WW1 started, how would no WW1 in 1914 change the cards in Mexico? How likely is an armed intervention by the US? Would european powers get involved?

“The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.” -Otto von Bismarck. ACT 1: “The White Negroes of Europe”: The History of Persecution of the Polish People, by Piotr S. Wandycz. It would be incredibly hard to pinpoint the moment when Poles became the most undesirable people of...

Believe it or not, there is actually a pretty solid steampunk mechanism video game series, and yes, it features a post-World War I vibe. And now it features Americans (a.k.a. "Usonians"). I am surprised this game isn't discussed on the site more:

If Greece, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden all joined the Central powers, how much sooner would WW! end, what concessions would they demand, and what does postwar Europe look like?

With a pod in 1820, how can we get an alliance between the United states, a Prussian Germany, and a modernized Qing? What smaller allies would also be part of this pact, how would the coming great war between powers go, and what will the world look like after?

What if a figure in Hungary akin to Attaturk arose in Hungary using the popular outrage by occupation of Hungarian land by the Entente and the Treaty of Trianon arose to power? Assuming Hungary remobilizes and resists the loss of its territory, what would be the effects of such a scenario...
