World War I would be very hard to avoid, considering most nations were just waiting for some kind of crisis to happen, so the war could begin. Germany, Russia, France and even Britain were looking for a Casus Belli. Especially the Germans thought they needed to start a war soon, or the small window they had when they were stronger and better prepared than the French and the Russians would close. But let say Archduke Franz Ferdinand isn't killed. The assassination attempt was already very much based on luck, and let's just say Princip never runs into the Archduke and there is no Austrian casus belli on Serbia. Let's just say the Germans don't find a reason to start a war, and in 1916 the German High Command realize they don't have an advantage over France and Russia anymore, and the Great War just don't happen.
