Screw it! Britain has Churchill and It's a long Way to Tipperary!

Also, if you'd take Boer War veterans, I'd say they win. They'd be experienced and wouldknow the tactics (guerilla warfare and scorched earth) and... nevermind. Just shoot them into pieces with their superior artillery before landing. The Dreadnought's main guns had a range of almost 23 km (25,000 yd), that'd be enough. If they're hiding in a cave just bomb it till it collapses and buries the guerilla fighters alive and... well, it'd pretty much of a Vietnam for the Empire, but it would be a good show...

If we take all the major European powers of 1910, I'd say they'd loose in the following order: Italy, Austria-Hungary/France/Russia (all three in an equal level), Germany (with a far better chance to win than these before), Britain (with a serious chance of victory). Britain had dealt with guerilla warfare and scorched earth before, they could handle it.

Or we simply could let Britain battle the Fire Nation on their very own isles (let's see who dies of disease now...).
