What if the reign of Edward VII of Great Britain was prevented? There should be enough possibilities: His appendix problems before his coronation, his lifestyle, other factors.
The most important changes, of course, would be that the Triple Alliance may not come into existence. Despite his "playboy" image, Edward (who was nicknamed uncle of Europe) was deeply involved in the creation of the alliances with both Russia and France, once Britain's worst enemy.
Who'd take the throne in his stead? Would this lead to Britain's neutrality in World War I, or even to a German-British alliance? Would there be any other important changes?
