DBWI: No Anglo-German Union

What if Britain didn't adopt absolute primogeniture in 1901, and so her eldest daughter, Princess Royal Victoria the Kaiserin Friedrich of Germany did not become Queen after her? Or more importantly, what would the world be like if Wilhelm the Great simply stayed Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, and not simultaneously King William V after his mother's death later that year?
 
Well, the merging of the British and German navies wouldn't push France into its own shipbuilding spree. Perhaps the First Great European War gets averted?
 
Well france was gunning for germany after its humiliation in the franco-prusian war and a united anglo-germany didn't stop the war. I think if germany was gone on its own the war would have started sooner.
 
Well the Afghan genocide would be averted and the French wouldn't be living under joint Anglo-Deutsch administration after the War de Revancheé.

There would have been no American-Anglo War that ended in bitter hostility and resentment between the North American and European Collossusses.

The Afghan massacres were definitely a shameful chapter in our history. London is still paying reparations to the descendants of the survivors. Also, the Union of American Socialist Republics is the most repressive state on Earth.

The UASR may be bad, but some of their client states, like the Workers Republic of Korea, which is ruled by a pseudo-monarchic regime which is tied to a shamanistic cult, the People's Democratic Workers' and Peasants' Republic of Indochina, where the crazed communist regime dealt with rebellious regions by forcing the people to work in the countryside and "depopulating" the cities, or the Socialist Republic of Mali, who's communist dictator seems convinced that he is Mansa Munsa reborn, are even worse.
 
North Africa would not have been as prosperous as it is today because the Anglo-Deutsch unified the area and encouraged local trade. Now after decolonization in the 90s North and East Africa are culturally and economically integrated into the European sphere(helps too that there was a vast missionary campaign which brought the Christian population from near zero to 75%).
