In 1904, France and the United Kingdom signed the Entente Cordiale, a series of diplomatic agreements that forged an alliance between the two European colonial powers, which in the past had suffered from an often fractitious relationship. Reaching mutual agreements on each of the empires' respective future colonial expansions, the arrangement united the nations against the insurgent European power of Germany] and its allies. In 1907, France and Britain would enter into a further alliance with the [[Russian Empire, forming the Triple Entente. The web of alliances between the European bourgeois powers had by now developed into two main factions - the Entente, dominated by Britain, France and Russia, and the Central Powers, dominated by Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. This set the stage for the First World War, one of the first large-scale post-industrial conflicts, which would devastate Europe and the countries across the world drawn into it, ultimately serving as a catalyst for the rise of socialism worldwide.

World's most prominent laissez-faire capitalist economy, but more welfare than OTL as a defensive manuver in the face of the Red Tide, afraid of being eclipsed by the Indians/Nigerian/Brazilians
