Imagine that Russia stayed neutral. Can Entente won this with just France and Britain?
Britain was fucked the moment axis started using submarines. They lucked out with american help

>Russia states it's complete neutrality after the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia
>The war quickly ends after Austria-Hungary and Germany destroy Serbia with little outside opposition
>France is never invaded, Germany did not invade them as they did not fear being attacked from both France and Russia after Russia declared Neutrality.
>WW1 never happens
If Russia stayed neutral then Austria would steamroll Serbia unhindered. Not sure what would happen next.

Well that sounds nice. Do we then not get a WW2? Because that didn't go well for the Dutch
What a stupid question. History isn't science where you can just change 1 variable and keep everything else the same. Russia declaring neutrality and not protecting Serbia would require such a different chain of events or thought that WW1 as we know it wouldn't have existed.

heh, like Britain would let that happen.

I'd imagine Britain and France would be importing more colonial forces into the western front. Maybe spain and portugal would enter the war.

Germany almost broke France in the early days on WW1, Paris was within artillery range for a short bit and throughout the first and second year it looked very shaky for the allies on the western front.

The war wouldn't start if Russia stayed neutral. It was Russian mobilization that Germany used as a justification to declare war on Russia. France and Britain had no ties to Serbia.
