I was looking at the Bakker Schut plan, which obviously never happened. The Netherlands wanted a lot of territory from Germany after WWII and was told off by the allies. Yet after WWI Belgium did get some German territory.
So what if for some reason the Netherlands was attacked by Germany during WWI and Germany still loses*. At (alternate) Versaille the Netherlands want compensation from Germany. What would they get, realisticaly? Bakker-Schut is probably way too much. Belgium did not get much German territory, just Eupen-Malmedy. Would the Netherlands only get East-Frisia (which had been part of the Kingdom of Holland, after all)? Would it gain more (like plan C, or even B). Would the Netherlands gain some of the German colonies and if so which ones (part of new Guinea maybe)?
*which seems pretty likely. I don't think attacking the Netherlands would gain Germany much and would cost Germany quite a lot.
