  1. Without a united Germany to threaten the Russians, the Russians bring in their European armies to the far east to teach the upstart Japanese a lesson. The Russo-Japanese war of this timeline extends a few more years and ends in a Russian victory in the far east evicting the Japanese from mainland Asia. The Japanese while winning at sea , perceive this as a defeat which traumatizes the Japanese leadership . Japan becomes closer to USA and Great Britain. Later Russians declare war on Austro Hungary when the Austro Hungarians invade Serbia after Archduke Ferdinand is killed in Bosnia by a Serb nationalist. After a year of war and a British French sponsored armistice , the Russians have te upper hand in negotiations as the Russian army manages to defeat the Austro Hungarians in a series of battles. This causes political instability in Austro Hungary which the army had to put down numerous rebellions. The Russians due to perceived victories in the Balkans and in the Far east are getting cocky and the Russians are getting belligerent. Focusing on the confederation of German states. War between Russia vs. the German confederation over alleged German/Prussian meddling in Russian poland, finland and the Batlic states is cause for war. The war is a bloody stalemate sees the use of Trench warfare, and even armoured warfare in primitive tanks and armoured cars being used by both sides and mass use of airpower. The Russians have the massive numbers while the Germans have the troop quality and leadership. however the Germans do not have the numbers to push into Russia and political bickering between member states.
