How difficult would it be to have three main alliances made up of Germany and Austria-Hungary, France and Russia and a neutral but Allied inclined Great Britain and Ottoman Empire? One idea I had was for a much reduced Anglo-Russian entente so that relations are still somewhat rocky whilst the entente cordiale between France and Great Britain settles their differences and greatly improves relations but doesn't lead to a formal alliance. Germany and Austria-Hungary take care of themselves. A neutral Britain and the Ottoman Empire is the hard one that's going to require several changes from our timeline. First you have to get the Ottomans away from the Germans and with the British and then have the British stay out active involvement in WW1 but still provides favourable aid for the Allies.

Can anyone think of how this could be done with as few changes as possible? The best I've come up with require multiple changes and a definite push in the direction to make happen.
