Britain needed Brexit in 1914. Germany was no threat to the British Empire. If France fell, so be it.

There was no EU in 1914, or rather the EU of 1914 was the German empire. Where did the German Empire start? In 1871 after the German confederate states all united to fight the French. It's not a question of France falling, but preventing the creation of the German empire to begin with. Before that, they were just a loose confederation of principalities, each with their own King and government. The war was a Prussian plan to unite into one country, which is a little ironic since the Prussia of 1871 does not exist anymore. It's a part of poland and all the Prussians forced to move west into the modern post WWII Germany.
