No, but the French could have let it go instead of getting involved. I
suspect the war might have been a good bit shorter. More like the previous
one in the Balkans..


You seem to be a bit confused with European history (you're obviously not
the only one), so let me help you :

Just read the 1914 events timeline, it will be enough I guess.

In reading through the time line I see where France could have stayed out
of it. If France stays out then UK stays out which keep Canada out.

1914 28 June - Assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his wife at Sarajevo

1914 24 July - German ambassadors transmit note in Paris, London, and St
Petersburg that conflict be localised

1914 24 July - Paul Cambon proposes conference and announces support of
Russia in case of Russians at war with Austria

1914 27 July - France accepts Grey's proposals of mediation while telling
Russians the French army would fully stand by Russia militarily

1914 28 July - French General Staff informs Russian military attache in
Paris that French Army is fully ready and active to do her duty as an ally
of Russia

When dealing with propaganda terminology one sometimes always speaks in
variable absolutes. This is not to be mistaken for an unbiased slant.

and then the US don't intervene, and there is no treaty of Versailles, and
therefore no WWII, and so on and so on...

Congratulations, as you have just demonstrated that selecting partial
historical events *out of context* (internal and foreign polices, leaders
personalities, alliances, peoples mentality, former events and history,
etc...) only leads to a biased, uncomplete and eventually false vision of
history...
