Well, the outcome is pretty obvious. If WW2 does occur then Britain will be in a better position to fight it. I assume that the expansion that the RN has benefited from is also the case with the RAF. A Battle of Britain in this TL will be less in the balance as the RAF wins a comfortable victory. And the war in the pacific may be avoided altogether or fought largely with British forces.

With the Br. Empire dropping out of the Washington treaty like this I can see the US matching the Br. navy Ship for Ship . Also were would the New Zealand navy get the men to man its ships . As well as the rest of the empire
rember the Br. empire at the end of the war could not man all of its ships it had . |
Fairly, mild to extremely unrealistic. The Lion class is a bit extreme for use in European waters. It beggers the question of how either Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia would pay for, let alone man, all these ships. For India I would wonder how they would just pay for them.
I do agree with the naval historian D.K. Brown that it is likely that the British retained too many WWI era battleships. With the amount of new construction the older ships, like the Queen Elizabeth, Revenge and Repulse classes should have been scrapped. |

But back to a stronger Empire the decision to have the Pound be convertible to gold in the post war years (when Churchill was Chancellor of the Exchequer) probably damaged British and Empire economy more than WWI. And had the British earlier listened to one of her great sons - J.M. Keynes (who actually was part of the British delegation at Versailles) - the depression to a large degree could have been avoided - and an extended naval construction programme could have been an important part. The OTL British rearmament programme started in 1936, mainly as a reaction to the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935. If we have Mussolini or some other jerk do something similar earlier I guess we will also have the rearmament start earlier. The OTL 1936 programme planned to build 18 BB's before 1948 of which the KGV's were the first five, the Lion I's and Vanguard the next (as well as loads of other vessels), so in order to have them all finished by 1939 we need a major threat to the Empire in 1927. I believe Japan then was in political chaos and financially bankrupt, and Italy probably in a similar state financially- any other ideas? Regards Steffen Redbeard |
Well lets see as to ship building. Hitlers niaze partys on the riase as in our time but hes puting more in to ship bulding from 1933 on woulds and plan Z well under way and the domions are a lot lager POD Australia has 40 million with canada 40 million all so New Zealand has 20 million and are a lot richer.
In the 19 centry the US Civil runs for all most 8 long years so pepole are looking to go some where othere then the US and one last thing the UK know of the 18inc gun ships been built in japan . |
What if Hitler had 13,000,000 men, 40 000 tanks, 35 000 planes incluing 12 500 jets, a fully complete Z-plan navy and 4 nukes on 22nd of june 1941? :P
Maybe mine is slightly less realistic, but not that much. Obviously, in either case, theyd wipe the floor with their opponents. |

Just looking the thing over a bit more carefully, the British can't "pull a Rome" - whatever that means or implies - in 1929, let alone any other time. How can she? Invade the Dominions? Britain can't impress the Canadians to do anything they don't want to - mostly because of the neighbor to their south. I certainly don't see why there would be so many aircraft carriers built at a time when the true power of the aircraft carrier has not be proven yet. |
cant you tell the defiernts between crown colones and the dominons i never side that the pound would horsted on the dominons just on the crown colones . where a lager part of the Pops live in the Empier David s poepoe .

Now find the trained crew and the fuel for all those ships.

Yes, I do know the difference between the Crown Colonies and Dominions, but I suspect the latter has the greater population than the former. 17inc said "Lets say in 1929 the british empier pulls a Rome in making there pound the single unit for all the crown colones and by WWII she useing all the manpower for home and the empier and so you blokes know..." Okay that would be the populations of Hong Kong, Gibralter, probably Malta, and probably the underperforming, unindustrialized Africa colonies. I have to admit that India occupies a position of neither colony or dominion. I'm fairly sure that their currancies were pretty much tied the performance of the British pound, tho if this would be a benefit economically I don't know. |
Quote:
India was indeed neither a Crown Colony nor a dominion- in 1876 it's title became officially the Indian Empire and the Queen appointed a Viceroy to rule it. It had it's own India Office and Secretary of State which were seperate from the Colonial Office. |
The only other Crown Colony I can think of is Cyprus.
Now looking at a list of Crown Colonies: Malta, Gibraltar, Cyprus, Singapore, Malacca, Penang, Hong Kong, and some (not all) African colonies: British East Africa, Uganda, Nigeria (maybe), Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, Gambia (maybe), northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland. I pose the question on whether and how this British Empire has overcome racism by 1929. I doubt the high commanding officers in the Royal Navy will much mind the Maltese, Gibraltarians and Cypriots manning vessels (they are all European after all), or British descended East Africans or Hong Kongers. However I think they may all die of heart attacks at the sight of vessels manned by all Ibo or all Yoruba (both from Nigeria) crews. Also forcing the crown colonies to adopt the British pound would run into several problems: Firstly, that goes against the way the British have been administering their Empire since the early 1800s or before. The reason the British Empire lasted as long as it did and was dismantled as peacefully as it was, was because British administration was flexible. A colony could be a crown colony today, an autonomous one (with a legislative assembly) tomorrow and maybe a dominion next week. Or it could be a protectorate (like Swaziland) instead of colony. Or a mandate (e.g. Tanganyika). Adopting the pound in a case like Jamaica would be foolish as the country went from autonomous colony with it own legislative assembly to crown colony (rule from London) and back to having its own assembly again and all in less that 15 years during the 1800s. In that case the colony would have its own currency, be forced to adopt the pound and then regain its currency. Sounds like an economic rollercoaster. Secondly, forcing the adoption of the pound would only increase anti-imperial/anti-colonial/anti-British sentiment since a local currency was a symbol of autonomy and be forced to adopt another currency is only sure to stir up nationalistic feelings. This will only weaken the British Empire, not strengthen it. On the surface the Empire would look more united, but beneath it would probably to start to rot. Thirdly, adoption of the pound could have some serious economic consequences. If the local people prefer their old currencies and continue to use them, then the supply of The Pound would increase, but demand would not and so the pound may lose some of its value relative to other currencies. And what of cases where the local currency may have been slightly stronger than the Pound? I doubt the local people would want to change to the Pound. And if memory serves me correctly, Scotland prints its own local Pound and it would look a bit silly to enforce the Pound on the Crown Colonies, when the Pound is not the sole currency of the UK itself. And look on the Crown Dependencies (as opposed to Colonies) which were in a special relationship with Britain, e.g. Isle of Man, the Channel Islands. These are closer physically to the UK (and many outsiders consider them a direct part of the UK- how mistaken they are) and they have their own currencies. |

More SuperFleet fantasies.
What is interesting to carry the absurdity further and posit that the buildup is all naval--esp. the heavy surface ships which is just so damn important in SuperFleet fantasies, but Army and RAF are not any stronger. We can have a situation where NOBODY COMES OUT TO PLAY That is Hitler decides the Kriegsmarine cannot compete on the surface and emphasizes U-Boats and airpower. Italy decides either not to get involved or if it does get involved abandons Africa and pursues a fleet in being policy, hoping for the war to be won in Russia. America is po'd because the RN forced them to play SuperFleet as well so Lend Lease and other support is much smaller if at all. There is a limit to Japanese stupidity so they behave themselves. This is still World War II so Nazis lose eventually but it has more to do with T-34s than 18" gunned SuperFleet battleships which end up as razor blades in the mid 1950's never having fired a shot in anger. Welcome to Springsharp Island. |
Hitller isn't blind or foolish. He can see all this buildup and realizes he can't match it.
So he doesn't try. He notes how well the Uboat did in WWI and builds lots more of them, and bigger with better torpedoes; the kind that can sink even big BBS. When war comes he bottles up the RN in harbor and does a much more effective job of sinking food coming from the US. Starvation forces the British surrender by 1943. |

Churchill once said that the only time he thought the British might lose the war was when it seemed they were losing the Battle of the Atlantic. Of course, he also said that his main worry was that the US would not enter the war eventually. I think the Germans would still lose, but to the US and Russia. Hopefully, Britain would scuttle her fleet before giving it to the Germans. |
