good question, and I had another thought about the Post-War use of the Spanish Weapons

I'd imagine that a lot of those Spanish guns that the Japanese captured during that conflict would eventually be sold off to the Russians and Canadians during the FGW as and later on in the interwar period to the Canadian Rebels and the ones that gone to Russia, might find their way back into Spain during their Civil War in the 1930s.

Don't forget about Mormons remember that too, S .M.

The Japanese will probably sell those weapons up to the Mormons and the Canadians rebs too before the US go AWOL and Declare war on them in the 30s

Something that had come up in my head: did the British form any colonial force from Sandwich Islands?

I'd imagine so, perhaps named the King's Hawaiian Rifles Regiment or the Royal Hawaiian Rifles Regiment.
