Hey Guys,

Throughout the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century Joseph Chamberlain tried multiple times to create a military alliance between both Britain and Germany, though on all occasions he failed either due to the German Foreign Minister, Bernhard von Bülow or due to the British Prime Minister, The Marquess of Salisbury.

But, what if Joseph Chamberlain had succeeded on one of the occasions due to some POD on either a more lenient PM, a more lenient German Foreign Minister, possible even by having Joseph Chamberlain taking a more influential parliamentary position (such as foreign minister rather than colonial secretary as OTL), or a drastic one being having a weaker German Emperor who had a weaker foreign minister, and thus more inclined to go along with Chamberlain perhaps.

So let's say that the military alliance is created between Britain and Germany, what effects would this have on Anglo-French relations? What other affects would follow the alliance between Britain and Germany?
