One way. Had there not been a Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905).

The German Kaiser was a 3rd (or so) cousin to the Russian Czar (Tzar). The Kaiser had "goaded" his cousin "Nicky" into fighting Japan; to eliminate Russia from the naval arms race. One less competitor.

It was the naval arms race of the late 1890s and early 20th century that led to the Great War (WWI). The only way Germany could take on Britain was by naval power; naval power meant battleships (also alled Dreadnaughts), and he who had the most (powerful) battleships would win (might win). With Russia eliminated, the race was strictly between Germany and Britain.

Or...had not Russia lost it's battleships in the war with Japan; Germany & Russia could have teamed up with their Dreadnaughts and defeated Britain's fleets.
