WWI with more theatres

How could have the scope of WW1 been broader or more akin to WW2? With more significant battles in Africa and East Asia etc.
 
Russians attack against Swedish navy, like it was planned in OTL but cancelled, and so we get Finnish front.

Perhaps Netherlands could join to CPs and so we see battles in Southeast Asia.

Spain could too join to CPs but this would need earlier POD.

Mexico perhaps could declare war to United States like Germany tried propose but you need very crazy leaders.
 
Might Brazil, Argentina, and Chile start a sub front in SA and drag others into the Chaos?

Maybe a Danish stalemate frontline with mayor Entente troops in Denmark protecting the country after Denmark joins the Entente. Copenhagen had been fortified but the other Danish territory was vulnerable. Could there be any strategic value for the Allies regarding Denmark? The Germans had fortifications along the than Danish border.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone of any significance supporting a danish entry in the war, except possibly in case of an imminent german collapse.
If Denmark is drawn in it'll be due to invasion, either because neutrality becomes impossible (the brits resist mining of the belts etc) or because one of the parties tries a coup de main (both Germany and the Entente toyed with such plans in the stalemate of 1916/17).


As an alternative, maybe Jackie Fisher gets his invasion via the Baltic ?
