The history of this world is exactly the same as ours, up until June 28, 1914. On this day in our world, Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand. But in this world, The Archduke's limousine took a different route, and never encountered Princip, who died in a conflict with police one month later. Thus the Victorian-era balance of Europe held all through the 1910s without any incident. An odd civil war fought in both Germany and Russia finally resulted in the recreation of Poland in 1932.
