Would Centrum overcome their Anglophilia to support Germany over the U.K.? The U.K. is still pretty hierarchical at this point (even more so than Homeline, without experience of battlefield WWI), and would seem to be the better bet than Germany, given Homeline history (which Interworld is well acquainted with).

Infinity would back the British over the Kaiser, but would have different aims than Interworld. Infinity would be focused on Germany collapsing peacefully, and not submitting to Britain or any Treaty of Versailles. Interworld would want a clear British victory leading to 'Pax Britannia'.


And presumably the U.S. would on the sidelines, staying out of European wars. But it would be hard to stay out of it, given the large oceanic war, from German submarines to larger British blockade.
I can see quite a bit of colonial bush wars going on here. Maybe the US starts becoming the gun runner for the world, with the difficulty of getting to European markets. How's Japan doing in this alternate? Western Russia might be a tempting target if Germany is having trouble...
