Qingdao probably.What about Asia and Africa in the Central Powers' victory? Are there any sensitive or hot-topic issues related to hotspots or flashpoints?
How would you describe Germany's actions in Belgium? A CP victory would make this the new standard.
Not under the Hohenzollerns it wont. I know you've used the Easter 1917 announcement, stretching it far enough to demonstrate how much the Kaiser loved the Jews but if the Prussian military won the war, it's damn sure going to rule the peace. The Easter message was in response to unrest at home and was suggested to the Kaiser by his Chancellor. While it appeared to promise constitutional reform at the war’s end, it was ambiguous and hardly credibility. This was also while Bethmann Hollweg endorsed the Supreme Command’s demands for German annexations in France, Poland, and the Baltic states.
It was President Wilson that forced democracy on Germany. In his responses of October 14 and 23, he made it clear that the Allies would only deal with a democratic Germany, not an imperial state with an effective military dictatorship presided over by the Supreme Command. Max von Baden's declaration of Oct 5th that he was taking steps to move Germany towards parliamentary democracy was simply not trusted.
Note that after Wilson’s second note, Ludendorff’s resolve returned and he announced that the note should be rejected and the war resumed. However, after continued reverses Ludendorff resigned within a month.
Germany/Prussia was already a Constitutional Monarchy since 1849, though I doubt it would end up a mere powerless spectator in German politics like the British monarchy within the Westminister parliamentarian system.The fact of the matter is that Germany was moving along the path to constitutional monarchy
Given the state of Ottoman-German relations towards the end of the war, I could absolutely see Germany seeking a separate peace with Britain after knocking out France.Depending on how far the Turks go, there may only be an Armenian people in diaspora.
If Enver had continued with his drive toward Baku with the "Army of Islam" and the 3rd Army, relations with Germany would've been... strained, to say the least.....Given the state of Ottoman-German relations towards the end of the war, I could absolutely see Germany seeking a separate peace with Britain after knocking out France.
Besides the fact that I doubt that Germany would do something like that. It would not violate the Monroe doctrine. The Monroe doctrine actualy excluded European countries selling colonies to another European country. That would be fine for the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe doctrine was specificaly about European countries colonising free American countries. So Germany buying the Dutch Antilles is not covered by the Monroe Doctrine, Germany invading Venezuela is covered by the Monroe Doctrine. Also Germany gaining Martinique from France in a peace agreement is not covered by the Monroe Doctrine.So the Germans pressure the Dutch (at bayonet point - cause it's easy now) to sell Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire.
The US does nothing?
It would be the Roosevelt Corollary that they would be challenging.It means that it is not covered by the Monroe doctrine.
Depends where. Dalmatian Croats and Inland Slovenes were BIG into Yugoslav nationalism by 1910 whilst coastal Slovenes and non-dalmatian croats were pro-Habsburg.That wasn’t popular among Croats and Slovenes. They only went along with it to seek protection
... erhmmm ... no.It would be the Roosevelt Corollary that they would be challenging.
I doubt Britain would turn to fascism. Even if it did, it's doubtful any such thing as described above would happen.I imagine what happens to several hundred million africans and subcontinental asians after britain goes *fascist will be sensitive to the residents of New Wales(what was india after the genocides) and a europeanized pan-africa in some central powers timelines.
Pretty sure the rest of the planet won't buy "excuses" like "They got smallpox" or "the demographic transition happened" the new welsh or pan-africans use to explain why there's only a small number of south asians or africans living on reservations/
There is a wide difference between being quite ruthless and straight up flattening a country.France was quite ruthless in 1914 in the part of A-L they held for a while, but did they maintain this in the years and decades after the war?

Germany essentially flattened Belgium (and Northern France).Who flattened what?
