Okay, here is my opinion:
In OTL WWI, Britain, Germany, and Russia got a lot of problems to defeat their respective enemies because those three giants (Britain and Germany, Germany and Russia) was opposing each other in said war.
Now, consider the following ATL WWI scenarios:
- Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary vs. France, Russia, Ottoman Empire
- Britain, Germany, Ottoman Empire vs. France, Russia, Austria-Hungary
- Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary vs. Britain, France, Ottoman Empire
- Germany, Russia, Ottoman Empire vs. Britain, France, Austria-Hungary
Am I right to say that the Anglo-German and German-Russian alliances will always win, in either of those scenarios?
In "Anglo-German alliance" scenarios, Britain helps the Germans invading France, France is doomed, and Russia stand no chance against the combined might of those two powers.
In "German-Russian alliance" scenarios, without Eastern Front to worry about, Germany unleashes her full might against France, France is doomed (again), Britain is isolated from the continent, and armistice is then signed.
PS: The "Britain, Germany, Russia vs. France, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire" scenario is pretty much undebatable...
