Netherlands dragged into WW1 German side

Thanks for this updates.

I think a White peace with the UK is more likely, mostly since it looked that the German Empire did not demand any concessions of the UK. Peace demands would hamper future trade and income for the Empire.

Interesting thought of any losses in Asia made by Japan.

I like the idea of a border shift of Belgium. The main aim of Germany, in their peace proposal ''brain storm'' was to remove as much as industrial and military power from France. One option is to amputate the industrial and mine rich Nord and Pais de Calais.
If this is rewarded to Belgium, it would normalize relations faster. Which smooth ens trade, income, also faster.
French Guyana and Ivory Coast to the Dutch, even they do not want it? And some border corrections along the Dutch Belgian border, even the city of Antwerp.
 
From what i remember, Germany did want liege/luik, so could we see a situation where most of Wallonia ends up under German rule(plus the corresponding French territory on the other side of the border)? Think giving the Nord pas de Calais to Flanders/Belgium would make sense, its mainly dutch/flemish speaking anyways(at least at this moment in time).
