I am not sure what piece of kit you imply... But that ex soldier would have to have an idea what the current situation is like. And for that I think some kind of combat experience or other external pressure would be needed. Not that it could not happen without, but after WWI we know the USA was...

That assumes that the USA developed the LAW in TL. Remember there are little to no pressing needs to get it and I think that the whole situation for the USA is radically different then OTL. No Cold War, no Policeman of the Free World and most importantly little to no actual combat experience...

That is odly specific... hmmm. Gotten into the file cabinet of someone? As for Nixon? Who was the lawyer that got some time in the limelight back then? If it was Nixon he could pull the "minority card" as he worked for the civil rights side of things. As such that pulls voters that are...

Thy name is Schulz...

The onus for this is on the Germans being more understanding of USA sensibilities or having a better understanding of the British situation. So no USW could do the trick as the USA was not on the path to war at this time. BUT then you run into the problem of what can the Entente still do...

True, what was my point is that the Special Operations Group is a multi cultural unit that recruits from all ethnics and cultures of the USA and its suroundings. So Imo there should have been more talk about the problems in the waiting time between operations or as a hint about problems in the...

Personally I am curious as to why the USA got so quite all of a sudden. We had several parts with the American Soldiers but nothing about why the troubles stopped. On the one hand Germany is a rival for the USA in this TL and we have had a "proxy war" between the two. On the other hand, Germany...

To be honest, your maps do not indicate an negotiated peace of mutual exaustion, the absolute best the Entente can get without the USA in Imo, to me. The sticking points are the Franco German Boarder and worse the ocupation zone... not to mention that the Germans have given the Italians large...

Sure that is a very serious thing to do... But as we, or at least I, do not know the real situation vis a vis Germany and Poland in regards to the Hohenzollern Family, I think a "strongly worded letter" to all sides could be the thing to start with. At least it shows that Louis is taking an...

To be honest, right now I am a bit stumped. Why is Louis Sr, ie the Kaiser, not doing anything. As I remember he is the King of Poland or some suich and as such should have some say in the afairs of the Polish state. Even if he is using a hands off approach, the Polish actions are too far for...

I am not that sure if there is a problem if Wilhelm is less bruised in the ego with the British. As I read it he is described as loyal to the Kaiser and as such as you say Wilhelm is the lynchpin here. Get him in a better relation with Britain and other things could fall in place. Like the talks...

In OTL you are right, the shedules and numbers would at some point, point to Britain as the target. At least somewhat. For the designs, well seeing the Russian and French designs histories... well that the Germans look to the RN as a inspiration or how a well established power does it may not...

This is the talk as far as I can see it: I have implied that Britian may or may not have know the German thoughts in regards to the British and the HSF. But that the ships may also be useful against the French and Russians. As they are geographically also rather close. If you construte that...

Nice to see us agreeing on something. Could you cite that please, I have reread my posts and think I did not imply it. But if you read it into some of them I would like to understand where. Thanks. I think there was enough media coverage on both sides to imply the other and create an...

First @Stenz I realy like this discussion, but think we are arguing in a circle :perservingface: Have I said London should have ignored the building of the German fleet? No, I think not. I am not ignoring the problems arrising from the German naval armament. I am arguing that the underlying...

As I mentioned earlier, it was before that. As the British used the RN to pressure Germany during the aftermath of the Jameson Raid and Krüger Telegram. Where Britain was very displeased with Germany for gratulating Transvaal for beating back what amounted to raiders and brigands... sadly they...

My point is, that Britain used the RN to put pressure on Germany and then was surpriesed that Germany build a fleet to counter that. And? The Germans were under attamped blockade in the France German War, were threatend with Blockade by the British and build a fleet to counter the accepted form...

Or general terror as in shooting on a crowded street, not to mention the market a certain cat has going.

But by this time, the British had done some things that inflamed the German actions. And the British have to think of the consequences of their actions as well. But that seems to be forgoten more often. So Britian did never use the RN to get what it wanted? Sorry if I doubt that. And whose...

Was the HSF realy from the outset designed to threaten Britian or were the Germans looking at the worst "enemy" (the relations were much better then) and planned accordingly. And as pointed out the timeframe still had the battleship not the dreadnought as the main ship of the line at that time...
