If cooler heads prevail in 1914 and later and WWI is delayed until the 1950s (the development of nukes is also delayed by a couple of decades in this TL), would French unrestricted submarine warfare (USW) in this TL's WWI be plausible?
For the record, this TL's WWI will have these sides:
-Central Powers: Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary (if it survives), the Ottoman Empire (if it survives; if not, then Turkey), and Japan.
-Periphery Alliance: France, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro.
For the record, the logic of French USW in this TL would be the same as the logic of German USW was in WWI in our TL--specifically to knock Britain out of the war!
Anyway, any thoughts on this? Indeed, is this scenario actually realistic?
