What if.. Britain decided to join Germany in WW1

[North German Realm]

Victim? AH issued an ultimatum which was impossible for any independent country to meet.
AH's government exploited the murder of Franz Ferdinand as a pretext to justify their invasion of Serbia. When in 1898 Kaiserin Elisabeth was killed in Geneva by an Italian, AH didn't even try to issue any kind of ultimatum against Italy - knowing well that they were totally unprepared for a war against Italy. Serbia merely looked like an easier target.

The killing of Franz was hardly the only thing Serbia was doing. Serbia was hell bent on driving AH out of the Balkans. Serbia and AH could not coexist as they were, war was inevitable.

Eh. If you read the history, Austria Hungary was openly planning on an invasion of Serbia since 1913. That said, given they were the victim (the Archduke was killed), their action was justified. It was German Blank Cheques and Russian agitation that made the war into a crisis.

I'm not actually sure how it's possible for the first World War to even come into place if an Anglo-German rivalry wasn't in place to be quite honest.

The germans still had it in for the french, and the Serbs and Austrians were not very fond of each other.

The French were utterly incapable of being a match for Germany, much less Germany also backed by Britain. It would be a war (and it would be bloody too) but it wouldn't be "Great".

I think the Central Powers would have won world war 1, and Germany would have forced or united with Austria Hungary as a Greater German Empire after the war.

Similar to this posted on a dispatch so I don't get in trouble with the Moderators.

Not very likely. Germany had trouble dealing with the Catholics south of Main and west of the Rhine as it was, imagine what would happen if the Catholics became the bleeding majority. That said, it would be likely for Germany to forcibly annex Austria (+other territories from Cisleithania, maybe) in the event the K.u.K. fell into a civil war after the Great War had ended.

History would have been VERY strange.
That would probably mean Britain would have made the world last longer if not out right won the war.
If they still lost then come World War 2 America would probably have been on the Axis side(it only joined the Allies because Britain was an ally) meaning The Axis rule the world because USSR probably would have felled without allies.
And history books would idolize Hitler, Churchill and ….god damn it I forgot the American guy.

Not possible.

Not only did Britain have an alliance with France, the invasion of Belgium cements there involvement with the allys.

Even at the time, there was debate in the British political atmosphere on whether or not Belgium was actually worth getting involved in what was increasingly looking like something worse than the worst war the UK had fought in until that point. It's not outlandish for Britain not to get involved, or to join on the side of Germany against France (traditionally their enemy), though it would be very very unlikely. Hindsight being 20/20, joining Germany would have been the better option.

Don’t see any realistic way for it to have happened. A key element of Germany’s war plan for France was to go around the Franco-German border by going through Belgium, which would always spark war with the UK.

Britain and Germany were in the middle of their naval race, the too countries were at each others throats in a cold war basically.. That's not including the only way Britain would help Germany in a global war in the 1910's against France and Russia would require to change the preceding twenty to thirty years of history so radically to be just a fantasy. Joining Germany wasn't the better option, it wasn't one.

Hindsight would show that willie and frankie should not have been such big dicks.

That's a lot to ask from short sighted Empires just fresh off from various atrocities overseas.

But where’s the fun in all that? The real joy of state craft comes from being a genocidal tyrannical madman supreme leader.
