The 20th Century, even before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, was full of points for the world to burst. In 1905, Kaiser Wilhelm II supported Moroccan independence, angering France and Britain, but eventually a diplomatic solution was reached. But what if negotiations broke down, and the Entente declared war on the German Empire and Morocco?
Since the Entente would be the aggressors, Italy would have to join the CP in the war this time, since it didn't otl because Italy felt the triple alliance was a defensive pact and not an aggressive one. Russia hadn't yet joined the entente, still annoyed with Britain. Seems an easy enough CP victory, but if morocco is the reason for the conflict, i'd assume that they'd be the focus, and would draw significant resources from both sides to keep them down/keep them in the fight. So i'm not sure.
Plus, if it is an easy enough CP victory, what would the peace be like? There wouldn't be the insane totals of dead to quite justify tearing the entente apart, would there?
