Im currently writing about the Russo-Japanese War in this timeline but I am ultimately thinking about WW1 if it ever does happen. If the British do get involved in WW1 and align themselves with the Russians against the French, they could probably overtake the French as biggest colonial power. They would likely annex Western Canada from the French and Northern Mexico from the Spanish in North America and take much of their colonies in Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan as well.
But however the British could also be happy and grateful that their biggest rivals the French and Russians are just simply fighting each other and be totally neutral. In our timeline the loss of the Russo Japanese war made the British think that the Russians were weak and so allied with them against Germany (remember France would be the equivalent of Germany in Europe geopolitically in this timeline) and I wouldn't see how the Russo Japanese war would be any different in this timeline since I had the Japanese modernize.
