How would this work out?

Britain, Germany, A-H, Spain, Portugal, Japan and the Ottomans

vs.

France, Russia, USA, Serbia, Italy

Near ASB, but we'll say the war breaks out as it does historically, with the assassination of an Austrian royal by a Serb nationalist in the summer of 1914. Let's also say that due to butterflies somewhere or other (Spanish/American war?), the U.S is not isolationist, and has been an active French ally, and has engaged in a naval race with Britain.

Firstly, how do these alliances form? And secondly, how would the war unfold, assuming it does start as I predicted?
