Lets say the wrong turn is avoided at Sarajevo and no July crisis happens, thus no WW1.
But in OTL late 1914 Angola was restive. Lets say January 1915 the Germans send a couple of liners loaded with marines to reinforce Southwest Africa along with a naval squadron, to "protect" Southwest Africa which means putting Angola in order (i.e. taking over the place).
The Germans at the same time signal to the British that they will abide by the terms of the much discussed but never acted upon their proposed split of the Portuguese colonies, and signal their interest in a naval holiday.
Would the British do anything about this? Do the Germans suffer diplomatically?
