AHC Challenge: Alternative WW1

So swap France and Germany in the international alliance schema.

March 1905: France bungles the handling of the First Morrocan Crisis in such a way as to look overly aggressive while Kaiser Wilhelm is a little bit better about *appearing* politically adept. France looks like the aggressor, Germany is backed by AH only to ask for arbitration from London instead, insulting the Habsburgs and loosening *both* alliances.

1907: Torpedo boat explodes in Toulon harbor with blame going to spies, especially the British. Rampant rumors are carried in some newspapers without even minimal authentication, spiking the relationship further.

1909: another explosion in Toulon harbor, this time from the battleship Iena, and a series of suspects are rounded up and incarcerated. Many are Jewish, all are innocent, and blood runs in the streets as slanderous rumors run in the papers.

1911: French ship Liberte explodes in Toulon, another in a set of disasters with more blame-throwing and idiocy resulting in a public relations nightmare. Now official documents emerge suspecting British or German involvement. Simultaneously the Agadir crisis resolves much as the first did with France appearing the aggressor and this time Germany sounds reasonable. France is humiliated and alienated that the UK is not by her side despite her behavior and thinks Russia should be more supportive while Italy and AH think they are merely junior partners for not being consulted by Germany more.
