If the Protestants flip, no Frenchman is going to trust a German ever again

If I’m a French junior staffer I’m trying to figure out how to secretly send the bulk of our army to Denmark.

more that the Hungary part of Austria-Hungary will be virtually an enemy power

IMO even without Italy Germany has the advantage with full access to foreign trade

GQG should order the Danish fleet to rush the Kiel canal. Just turn the fleet into scrap to block it. Just gotta get the Danes to agree. But the French have elan and God on their side I’m sure things will work out.

I imagine it would be harder for the French right to manufacture a stabbed in the back myth. That being said the country would basically be a German satrapy and I don’t see the Kaiserreich allowing a Communist/Bolshevik France.

If I’m at GQG we’re goin all in on Italy, secure LOC with Austria, and capture the Italian industrial heartland in one fell swoop. Just got to get past those pesky alps. Idk how much help Austria will be anyway fight both Italy+Germany+Hungary

Imo Iron triangle should have the superior Navy. France alone won’t be able to blockade Germany like in WW1, not like the Brits would let them anyway. That being said Italy has a lot of coastline. And the majority of France’s heavy units should be concentrated in the Med. if France was rational...

Simply ordered US army detachments to demobilize outside of southern plantations. I’m sure if the black population of the CSA was all armed and de facto emancipated than simply recognizing that fact would be a bit easier

Lodge would have made passing this amendment a whole lot easier.

I do wonder if Vichy could be persuaded to re-enter the war on the allied side by the allies playing up Spanish designs on French colonies. Could complicate things for de Gaulle.

Damn that's grim. If Only Lodge had been president and not that feckless Root.

Been nursing an Idea with regards to Freedmen. I could see them being an asset for Northern corporate power. Being used as security in the South and strikebreakers/scabs in the North. Combined with fond memories of Lodge's activism firmly tying them as allies of the Liberal business establishment.

And once again three cheers for Lodge

Garrison duty in the Canary Islands sounds pretty great tbh. 40-42 lounging, mid to late 42-45 POW camp after the Allied naval blockade forces the garrison's surrender
