npub1hpcdfjpxrawnmu6ryh36ce7xu4qd54pu6xca394yhvmyzlery0tqvghjn3 (npub1hpc…hjn3) Two thoughts on that related to WWI:
It accelerated America's rise and our alliance with Britain and the Five Eyes, a trend that had already begun pre-war and might have happened anyways.
In his book Sleepwalkers, Christopher Clark mentions that the Entente was a marriage of convenience, the UK entered it in part to keep Russia away from India (something the USSR tried post-war), and France was not a natural UK ally, but the war semi-solidified those alliances.
