Irish civil war

On the army yes not all of the army would be mutinas or anything but the Curragh incident is worring considering that kind of explicit political threat hadn't been done by the British army sense the civil war, combine whith the fact that a large portion of the British officer corps where Irish protistance and you can see why the army may not be reliable in a shoting war in Ulster, lagitmit or not.
Of course you could replace the officers that threatened to resign rather than fight the U.V.F. with officers from the Indian Army with no links to Ulster.
 
The Russians and the French not being completely demented might not have backed Serbia to the hilt if the UK was involved in an internal civil war and unlikely to come to their assistance of course.

The Curragh mutineers had no particular links to Ulster other than ideological sympathy. They were by and large from the Southern Anglo-Irish gentry who were pretty much the nearest thing the UK had to a Junker class. Only Ulster military men of note at this point were Henry Wilson and Louis Lipsett. Montgomery, Dill and Alexander were subalterns and not among the mutineers. Blair Mayne and Nelson Russell were about nine years old.
