German Empire/Prussia/German Bund violates Belgium´s neutrality before 1900

How would a 19th Century violation of Belgium´s guarantered neutrality effect the war and peace on the continent? Would England intervene and declare war at all costs ? Would England bring troops to Flanders ? Maybe an 1848 successful revolution leads to a German Empire, which Great Britain sees as an illegitimate threat and declares war. The Germans than invade Belgium . Otherwise an alternate 1870 Schlieffenplan like scenario maybe ? Maybe France has strong fortifications on the Rhein, so the Prussians try to invade France from Belgium ?

In 1848, I have trouble thinking of a way Germany could threaten the UK enough for the UK to declare war. Even the First Schleswig War could hardly lead there.


Maybe it can happen, if due to crazy circumstances, the French Revolution of 1848 becomes much more violent, and the German princes try to violent suppress the March Revolution, so the French and German revolutionaries somehow ally. The German princes are toppled, and the specter of an even longer and more bloody replay of 1789-1815 rises. Victoria and Albert mourn the execution of various relatives.
The Netherlands-Luxembourg and Belgium are unharmed during the immediate revolution, but to distract from internal problems and from the mounting unwillingness of the common French and German people to see the other as friends and allies, the leaders in Paris and Frankfurt (and Rome and Buda) start to put pressure on The Hague and Brussels to join their alliance.
The UK government decides to intervene and protect the two minor kingdoms.

Highly improbable, but not completely impossible.

OTOH, a likewise improbable course of events would be:
Stronger revolution in Germany, so the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have to ask the Tsar of Russia for help to regain their capitals. The formal Holy Alliance is transformed into a fighting alliance bent on extinguishing all revolutionary regimes on the continent, bound on retaking Paris for the legitimist pretender and possibly even installing the carlist pretender in Madrid. When a Russian general crosses the Belgian border, the UK takes this as reason to fight against the Tsar's expansionism.
