          Right, I forgot that Russia already tried to expand eastwards against a recently-industrialized country and somehow failed, and for some reason thought they could try their luck with the big boys. Like losing poker to a child and then going to vegas. Why was the Tsar so damn moronic.

    Would have been very hard to beat. If the League of 3 Emperors went to war against their neighbors, France and the UK would have to get the Turkoids on their side to somewhat contain the enemy in central and eastern Europe, and even then it would be very hard for France and the UK to hold the Germans back

    Itself simply because the balkan issue would require one of them to lose to keep the alliance, which was why it quickly fell apart and bismark decided to just stick with a non aggression pact with Russia

    The only competent army in that alliance was Germany. An alliance of France, UK and USA would win as long as they focused on neutering Germany. In short, it would have been a slightly different WWI with Russia on the the opposite side but their army has been always dogshit anyway

      Notice how these countries actually exist today, independent of German influence.

      When Germany draws borders it actually draws them right. When non-Germans draw borders you end up with unholy monstrocities like the treaty of Versailles, where one country literally cuts another in half, and different ethnicities are merged together in unholy abominations like Czechoslovakia despite Slovakia being part of Hungary for nearly a millenia; and Yugoslavia, grouping Orthodox turkish rape baby servs together with modern westernised catholic croats and slovenes.

      Germans are the only ones with an actual talent at mapmaking.

        Germany manipulated the Russian people there to create disunity. They used Ukrainian and Belarusian nationalisms as wedges to divide and weaken Russia. They weren't even popular at that time.

        The main reason why both countries exist today is Soviet Indigenization initiatives.

          Russians referred to Ukrainians as "Little Russians" and mocked their language and culture, I can find records of this dating back centuries. It is obvious that they were not fully considered to be Russians at any point.

The first use of such names has been attributed to Bolesław-Jerzy II, ruler of Ruthenia and Galicia-Volhynia, who in 1335 signed his decrees Dux totius Russiæ minoris.[1]

            Nothing in that article refutes what I said, it only corroborates it. They didn't see the locals as being the equivalent of Northern Russians. They made up an ethnic identity for them which they rejected.

            Not when it threatens British interests i.e. their passage to India. Russia should have coordinated its diplomacy better to prove they wern't a threat to Britain. Practical geopolitics have always trumped romanticism. France was allied to the Ottomans for centuries because both were foes of the HRE.

            It doesn't threaten Britain's interests for the Ottomans to declare war on them?

            Also France is just as bad as Britain when it comes to screwing over Christians by siding with muslims.

            In 1903, when Russia and Britain were still active rivals in Asia, the royal navy brass had concluded that the straits didn't make any difference to the defence of the Empire. The British agreed on three separate occasions from 1914-1916 that the Russians could have Constantinople

      German logic: Oh hey, there are German-speakers in France we should unify them politically; and there is vast wilderness to the east that can be settled, we should annex some of it.

      French logic: There are Germans in the east. I hate Germans. We should annex the Rhineland and treat them like shit.

          Actually, France has never taken part in a coalition that would
          also have advanced German interests in any way. In the last three
          hundred years, up to 1870, Germany has been attacked by France
          twenty-nine times. A fact that induced Bismarck, on the evening
          of the batde of Sedan, to confront the French general Wimpffen
          most fiercely when he attempted to obtain an easing of the capitulation conditions.274 It was Bismarck at that time who, in response to the statement that France would not forget a concession by Germany and would forever preserve a grateful memory,
          immediately became angry and held out to the negotiator the hard,
          naked facts of history. He emphasized that France had attacked
          Germany so many times in the last three hundred years-regardless of what system of government it was ruled by-that he would
          forever be convinced that regardless of how the capitulation was
          formulated, France would immediately attack Germany again as
          soon as it felt strong enough to do so, either by its own power or
          through the power of allies.

            Germanys problem is they were the biggest power in the middle of Europe. So they felt entitled to controlling all of Europe

            Britain was happy with a balance of powers in Europe and trading overseas

            France was on the edge of Europe. Had an overseas empire and wasn’t ever too concerned with “controlling” all of Europe. Even the napoleonic era was pretty light handed

            I’ll add that the other big old power, Spain. Was the closest to Germany in trying to control Europe. But ultimately they also

            A) stuck to a massive overseas empire instead

            B) were kept in check by France and Britain

            C) in terms of European land control usually only had a few coastal places in Italy and Netherlands
