Victorian Britain tries to colonise Bismarck's German Empire

*Queen Victoria doing her best Emperor Palpatine impersonation*

"Prime Minister, execute Order 66"

"Yes my Queen"
"It will be done, my queen."

Just an ASB timeline of this happening would be fun and somehow succeeding-the germans get the ASB designated idiot ball and the british somehow seize all of Germany in one night.

Afterwards Queen Victoria conquers France, Spain, the low countries, and China(because why not) and then gives a speech declaring a new empire. "The empire will be re-organized..." sort of thing.

The theory that Corded Ware formed the early Baltic cultures by mixing with the local Narva and Rzucewo cultures has already been disproven, baby. The hot new theory in Baltistics right now is that Narva was a Baltic culture and the Balts have lived here since the Early Mesolithic.
That's definitely not the consensus.

I never said it's the consensus.

However, the fact that Corded Ware has a far weaker archaeological record in the Eastern Baltic than expected has been noticed ever since the 1970s. And even then, their influence is only limited to the coast of the Baltic Sea (East Prussia and Curonia), while any archaeological remnants of Corded Ware or even Rzucewo records deeper inland are pretty much negligible.

Even Pit-Comb Ware, usually connected to the Finno-Ugrics, seemingly had a bigger impact on the late Narva Culture.
 
“Limited military traditions”?? Wow that’s as barmy as saying Queen Victoria is going to invade Germany or some nonsense.
Poor wording on my part, but I was merely pointing out that Britain has never been a nation with a large military, and is unlikely at this point in time when Britain was relying on the informal two power standard to suddenly switch priorities to developing a huge army with a view to an invasion of the most powerful nation on earth.
 
The Master Plan would be:
step 1: Brittain allies with one discontent group - maybe catholics during culturkampf - and promises to help them size power, they also start to train soldiers like crazy who specialize in infiltration
step 2: British soldiers wearing civilian clothes infiltrate Germany
step 3: Capture the Kaiser and the ruling family, also the chancellor
step 4: blow up or capture the reichstag, step 3 and 4 is done with the help of thecatholics
step 5: after the inevitable civil war breaks out they send in troops to ensure order - only after asked by either party
step 6: in the right moment they backstab their former ally and take direct control of Germany
step 7: France is placated by getting back Alsace, Austria receives Bavaria and Russia Posen.
step 8: Rest of Germany: Hannover is restored, enlarged and gets a fairly liberal government under a british ruler. Prussia is Ireland 2.0
