What if the United States joined World War I in 1914?
The POD is in 1905. Instead of shelving Operaiton Plan III In favour of preparation for a European conflict, Kaiser Wilhelm puts it into effect.
The Germans attempt to invade the United States to eradicate it's hold on possessions in South America, the Caribbean and the Pacific. The East Coast, especially New York City is bombarded heavily. The Germans attempt to land at Princetown, Massachusetts and nearby Cape Ann.
With their superior naval strength, the Americans repel the invasion, but in the aftermath, the American people are worried that the Germans will attempt to invade the US again, so President Roosevelt signs the Entente Cordiale, officially joining the Entente.
Though the Germans are significantly weakened by this farce of a war, they continue to prepare for a war in Europe.
1914 comes around. Archduke Ferdinand is assassinated, the Austro-Hungarians declare war on Serbia and the German Empire invades Belgium and France, dragging the US and the British Empire into World War I.
