What would happen if the British interviened in the Russo-Japanese war?
The Anglo-Japanese alliance stated that if Russia asked for help against the Japanese then Britain would have to come in on Japan's side. But if the Brits came in anyway would the Russians seek help? Their two main allies at the time were Germany and France. The French coming in is unlikely because of their close relationship with Britain. Germany is a maybe and a sensitive issue because they don't have much of a navy yet.
What would the British do in this case in terms of tactics, the Russians had a sizable presence in Manchuria but that was being slowly whittled away and Port Arthur had already fallen. The Japanese knew that on land they would be severely outnumbered and did pursue a land war. But with the help of the British what would they do then?
What would combat in the Baltic and North Sea be like? The British would have a clear superiority but what would they do specifically would they mount a siege of St. Petersburg or try an actual landing.
And please, no comments like "Russia gets raped" or things of that nature.
