In fact, had the Germans not invaded Belgium and Luxembourg to circumvent the main French fortification line, the UK would most probably have stayed out of the conflict, at least for a while (Germany was still seen as the attacker and offender and thus in a more negative light, which both French and British propaganda during the War milked to death). But that while might have been long enough to beat the French decisively.

It would have been a much different world today if that would have happened. But that one decision to go by the Schlieffen plan and thus draw the British into the conflict has changed the world in so many ways - mostly bad ones for everybody involved.

Interesting thoughts.Well, I consider it unlikely. You see, before the war, everybody was sure it will be UK-Germany war alone, Halifax discussed it with Stalin in Moscow, March 1939. The story why and how the war begins is as interesting as the war.

This is why there was no decisive fall of France in 1940.  To the contraty of popular belief, Compienge was a timed truce, until UK accepts Germany pact. The occupation of France was seen as insanity by Hitler.

Huh? Why change the context  from WW1 to WW2 now?
