Let's say for the sake of minimizing butterflies that France did go back to being a monarchy after the Second Empire. How does this affect the First World War?

I'd think the US is likely to still fund the Entente. But without boots on the ground, I don't think Wilson's 14 points are going to be as important as they were in the OTL. The status quo could still be restored, albeit with more autonomy in Austria-Hungary and a king on the throne of a restored Poland (given that the Russian government would still be overthrown and no one wants to give territories to Soviet Russia.
