If Germany would have returned Alsace-Lorraine to France (such as by having France purchase Alsace-Lorraine back from Germany) before 1914, then would France have been willing to break up the Franco-Russian alliance?

Also, if so, then when exactly is the earliest time that Germany and Russia could have realistically gone to war with each other in this TL? After all, I would think that Russia would become much more hesitant to go to war (for the time being) in the 1910s if France is no longer Russia's ally.

Anyway, any thoughts on all of this?
