How would you go about getting a war between the British and French between 1870 to 1890? In this hypothetical war what would the German and Austrian Empires do?

Who would win?
 
Maybe the Brits get dragged into the Franco-Prussian War somehow?

France and Great Britain gets involved in the Austro-Prussian War.

Or maybe there is another War of the [Insert Country here] Succession, and Great Britain supports one candidate and France supports another candidate.
 
Well if Britain joined the Franco-Prussian War against the French, I don't think much would change, other than Britain inflicting harsher peace terms. If we go with France fighting Britain we would probably have a very long costly war, and since Britain wasn't really using any of the major advantages that Prussia had, we may have seen a dead lock like in World War 1
