East Germans leave immediately in high single digit millions and turns into a retirement colony unless the West Germans abandon the decades old policy of open door immigration towards East Germans, which would be political suicide for anyone trying get rid of during the euphoric phase, and which...

Are there enough people for an independent Ainu state?

Not going into Anatolia due to fears of British involvement kinda is "to chicken out". That they're not getting the straits without some kind of war is rather obvious.

How much of an issue is the massive loss of experienced sailors and officers?

1908 (or whenever it was) seems to be a better opportunity, the Russians and Austrians made a deal, Austria gets to annex Bosnia with Russian support/blessing and Russia gets to take the straits with Austrian support/blessing, though in the end the Russians chickened out of doing their part...

Not quite as inevitable as you may think, there's good reason why there never was decolonization in North America or Australia (if you definine decolonization as the natives taking over that is). The bigger colonies, yes they can not be held forever, because there's just too many non European...

You can also cut the US price tag in half by paying your German work force German wages, which at that time are about 50 % of their US counterparts if they're lucky.

I would love to copy the link so the site with the info, but the phone wont let me do that - thanks Google for removing features and compensating us with bugs. Basically it says Oak Ridge needed about 300MW. I also never read that multiple ways of enrichment are needed, they did all proposed...

In the 20s Germany build up a huge electricity capacity as part of a nation wide labor program and anticipated industrial needs, the Manhattan project just needs a medium sized hydro power plant at that time, it's no magic and usually people playing it up never bother to look at the actual power...
