I've been wondering lately if there would be any circumstances in which the First World War could have been limited to the eastern theatre. What might have kept the French and the British (and possibly the Germans) out of the conflict and made it a dispute between Russia, Austria, the Balkans and maybe the Turks?

If it had been restricted to Russia fighting Austria and possibly Turkey, who would have had the advantage?

(I recognise the improbability of this eventuality, but I'm curious if it might have been possible and what the outcome would have been).
