Not to bring historical reality into this, but what is your delta - your point of departure?
As it was, in this universe, the relative shares of world manufacturing output in 1880 were (Bairoch via Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fal of the Great Powers):
UK - 22.9
US - 14.7
GE - 8.5
FE - 7.8
RE - 7.6
AHE - 4.4
IT - 2.5
Total Industrial Potential (UK in 1900 = 100):
UK - 73.3
US - 46.9
GE - 27.4
FE - 25.1
RE - 24.5
AHE - 14
IT - 8.1
JA - 7.6
Population (1890, but the relative rankings are presumably pretty much the same; the US census in 1880 found 50 million people)
RE - 117 million people
US - 63 million
GE - 49 million
AH - 43 million
JA - 40 million
FE - 38 million
UK - 37 million
IT - 30 million
Now, again, without any information on what has transpired in your universe, it is impossible to suggest what sort of relationship any of the above would have to your fictional world, but still - it suggests something of the relative war-making potential of the major powers.
Include the realities of the distances between the Americas and Europe, and it makes the likely course of events pretty clear - not something that will end in a "European" victory in the Americas.
Best,
Tintime again.What tactics would/could be used for a possible war between an Anglo/French against the US? I should think the first would be to blockade the US ports. Then more troops into Eastern Canada. I ask this question in relation to my ASB TL. Any help would be great.
