The germans are even more outnumbered and surrounded than they were in OTL so...the first year might not go too well. Indeed, if we are lucky, all the trenches might end up being dug in Germany, and thus only that country gets ruined.
Saying that, Austria and Italy going to war immediately in 1911 is a fascinating change. I'm not sure who wins that one. Austria I suppose, provided that Italy is as badly prepared as they were in OTL. However, if the war lasts long enough, OTL Italy may emerge and absolutely murder the Austrians.
If France can hold off the Italians and the Spanish on their own for a bit (and I suspect they can), and again, hopefully on the border rather than France proper, the UK should be able to halt the Germany army on their own in the north (especially with over twice the manpower they had in OTL 1914). The race to the sea might even be won a little more decisively by the Entente, depending on how spooked the germans are by the british showing up (they were very spooked OTL), and what rhe Belgians and French have in the region.
Ideally, France holds Spain and Italy on the mountain borders, Austria slowly pushes back the Italians/prevents most of their forces going against France, Russia and Austria launch a joint offensive into East Germany, the UK and Belgium push back the german attack on the western front, and the colonies are very quickly wiped up and the sea lanes cleared for the US to steamroller into France/land in Spain.
