Mhm, probably worse, if anything. Social and moral issues, ethics and so on were the main things that got pushed to the side and changed. Women's right to vote in Britain, the Russian revolutions, genetics would be more active, think trying to 'breed' the best type of human, that sort of shit. Ireland would perhaps still be in the commonwealth, India may still be part of the empire, America may still be further back in civil rights movements and so on. What the wars did mostly, was brings man inhumanity to man to the forefront. Held a mirror up to people and they hated what they saw, technology would be further back as well, like others said, nothing sees a boom forward in advancement like a good war.
Hard to say how mainland Europe would look, if Austria-Hungary would have managed to survive or not really depends, would the Ottomans die a slower but death all the same? They might have managed to keep tabs on all the Jihadi fucks if they had stayed around, or held more southern land when they broke up at least. It's a nice what if question, I'll give you that. And a great tool for would-be historical fiction writers.
