This is the first in a series of threads where we consider what happens to the British if they make different choices in August 1914 if different outcomes happen (I thought we'd do Italy and Romania next)


Our scenario: The British declare neutrality and Europe goes to war. Miracles happen and everything goes the French and Russian way The Germans are defeated in East Prussia, Conrad can't escape in Galicia and France goes through the gap and separates the German first army and destroys it. The ensuing German retreat turns into a panic and the German army collapses. The French reach the Rhine by Oct 1 1914 and the war ends

France and Russia are free to dictate any terms they desire

Our questions: What terms do the Franco-Russians dictate?

What is the future of the British Empire?

Yes I know that this is borderline ASB with a POD of 1914 though easily done with a POD of 1911 or so. If anyone wants to argue about the plausibility, we can start another thread. The important points are the British didn't know the outcome when they chose to intervene and many observers thought this likely
