I am trying to find more information for a TL I'm considering to write, but this event is a bit of a knot-binder to me. If the Ottomans manage to win against the Russians in the 1877 Russo-Turkish War, how long would it be before the European alliance systems lock themselves into place? And how early would a WW1 (or just a singular World War) analogue occur?
