There was a lot of discussion and I think they would have intervened probably no matter what but a different prime minster or if Russia had been more aggresive. They joined because they felt threatend by Germany. I know this seems a quite British view but I think without the British the French would have been defeated. It was the British and French Fifth Army who were there at the Mons to Marne and then won the battle. So I think Paris would have fallen even if the British had delayed by a month or 2 and then in 1915 the Russians would have collasped.
