This is my first timeline, which I am just showing the bones of to make sure there are no horrible clangers. This is in the planning, about 90 per cent unfinished.
This is not a first post per se, just a statement to see if this works [it will be deleted and replaced with the first post if it works].

- Chamberlain is successful in creating an Anglo-German alliance. Britain signs an accord with Germany, binding them into a mutual defence pact and an agreement to settle differences amicably. However, the UK stays out of the Triple Alliance, as it is unwilling to prop up Austria.
- The Morocco Crisis [Britain and Germany against France] still takes place, but slides out of control when Germany, supported by Britain [Chamberlain still fearful of French colonialism], signs an agreement and sends a division of troops to Morocco to support the Sultan. Conference of Algeciras bogs down and ends in deadlock.
- In 1906, the Kaiser announces a protectorate over Morocco as Chamberlain is elected PM. France declares war on Germany. Britain pulled in on German side. Russia remains neutral. Austria-Hungary declares war on France.
- 1907 - Russia invades Turkey after riots against Armenians. German alliance declares war on Russia.
- 1908 - Italy invades the Veneto, supported by France, to attempt to knock Austria out of the War.
- 1911 - Peace. France defeated, Italy occupied. Russia knocked out of war late 1910, cedes the Ukraine and Baltic to new states. Communist revolts across Russia, government collapses. Peace treaty still being designed.
