WI the Russo-German Reinsurance Treaty of the 1880s kept getting renewed through 1945 and there was no Franco-Russian alliance?
What would have been the likelihood of one or more Franco-German wars occurring in that intervening half-century between 1890 and 1945?
Would we have Franco-German peace secured by France being deterred by German strength on the one hand, and German satisfaction with the status quo on the other?
Or would we have Franco-German peace broken by outraged French national feeling and irredentism on the one hand or German greed and ambition on the other?
