What if the Dogger Bank incident escalated into a British intervention in the Russo-Japanese war?
The Russian Empire would have crumbled. In fact, the German Empire, who saw Russia as a future enemy and a competing rising power, may have joined. In this timeline, they did, and firmed a fast peace with the Russian Empire as the socialists revolted.
There was no WW1, but instead Europe reorganized in a series of semi-isolated conflicts: Austria-Hungary was defeated by Serbia, Romania and Italy, the Ottoman Empire collapsed, France was humiliated by Germany and the Netherlands, and the United States had a socialist takeover after a destructive Second American Civil War.
But from all these defeats and victories, there was only a country that was seeking actual, cruel revenge: the newly formed French State. Being born from revanchism and the cultural fight against past and communism, surrealists led France to conquer most of Western Germany and Southern England. This horrific empire finally crumbled by its own weight, being finally divided between Northern France (pro-British) and Southern France (pro-German)
Meanwhile, in Asia, a coalition by Germany, the Socialist States of America and the Soviet Union crushed the Japanese Empire, establishing after peace a strategic alliance against Britain.
