The first world was sparked by the assasination of the archduke, but the thing that really got the ball rolling was France's decision to bypass the fortified border with germany and attack through beligum. Now to be fair to the french they did have intel that stated that germany planned to do the same thing, and Germany had done a similar thing in past wars, but in invading Beligum France plunged europe into one of the most bloody wars in human history.

This decision for better or worse defined the 20th century, but what if the french had decided against attacking beligium how would the world look like today? How would the Great war and the rest of the century turn out?
