What would have been the effect of The Royal Navy being ordered to fire on the Russian Baltic Fleet after it had fired on British Fishing Boats near Dogger Bank in October 1904. Given that France was allied with Russia, Britain with Japan and the entant cordieal was a year away, would France of honored its treaty agreements? With the Russian Army being mauled in the Far East would the Kaiser have taken the chance to gain more territory and backed his British Cousin, stayed neutral or joined with the French to attack Britain (unlikely I know but Kaiser Bill had a bad case of Battleship envy).
