In OTL, very strong German fears existed with such an outcome. Moltke the Younger felt intense pressure to welcome a conflict sooner than later during his tenure because of Russia's Great Program and French increases in mobilization potential. If the July 1914 crisis had passed with no conflict and no significant loss of face to AH or Germany (that's a tall order), and no more major squabbles appear until 1917, would German strategy still be rested on Schlieffen's approach, or would it have to change and in what ways? I found some references to possible results of Russia's Great Program in Norman Stone's excellent history of the eastern front, but not sure what the effects would have been on German strategy given such a scenario. Germany was losing prestige in Europe in OTL and smaller nations, like Romania, started looking towards the Entente for their future interests. I suspect that would continue after the July 1914 crisis. In addition, could the Junkers continue the policy of limiting conscription to only half the available population, or could the navy continue with getting huge funding under the weight of Russia completing it's Great Program? What were the potential results of the Great Program for Russia?
