So, I was wondering-could these nations:
-Belgium
-Netherlands
-Spain
-Austria-Hungary
-Brazil
-Peru
have built a larger navy than they possessed IOTL? If so, why didn't they attempt to increase the size of their naval forces? What might change those causes?
(The time period would be from about 1830 up to WWI)
Oh, and let me know if I'm missing any nations.
