Britain's decision to fight Germany in August 1914 was by no means an ineviatble one. In the end the Cabinet favoured war rather than peace after Lloyd George threw his weight behind those advocating war. But, it was a close call. Let's say he decided otherwise and that , as a result, Britain is left without an effective goverment for the whole of August and that, consequently, the BEF has remained at home. What do think would have happened in Europe during this time and do you think that Britain would still intervene?
