WI: The Fashoda Crisis escalated into war.

France would have to be led by very very very ... very very very stupid government and parliament if it went to war against the UK.

The UK was the world number one power, by far. It had control of the seas. France was still very isolated and had just started to building a russian alliance.

The constant axis of french diplomacy after 1815 was : no more war against the UK which we can't defeat.

This is impossible. You need a stupid dictator like Saddam Hussein to have such a war.
