Interning the French or Italian Navies is a much easier prospect than interning the British Navy.
Basically, my understanding is that the interment of the German Navy in OTL was possible because the Germans had been effectively defeated - unless they wished to continue some sort of total...
I would imagine that the Germans would want at least parity with the Japanese, possibly even a tier between them and the British / Americans (so a '4'). What would be interesting is - even if they had the allowance to (and I think that they would insist on that) would they actually build up to...
Would a possible conflict between the Americans and the British and / or French occur over issue of their inability or unwillingness to repay loans taken out over the course of the war?
I don't know who the other claimants would be - I am presuming that the German Kaiser will always be Prussian given that Prussia was the largest constituent of the Reich.
With regard to Kronprinz Wilhelm, I was not sure about his popularity (internally), as well as how Germany's neighbours...
Hi there
I fear that the 'how we got here' question will be quite important to answer this particular query, but I will push on regardless.
If the Kaiserreich is restored at some point in the 20s or 30s, who would be plausible as a regent; would there be one person, or would there be some sort...

Hi there
Looking at the Wiki stats, the Graf Zeppelin was heavier than many of the American / British / Japanese pre-war carriers, while having less armour and fewer aircraft.
Is there a reason for this - I would have thought that a heavier displacement would have equated to at least better...
Hi there
Long-time reader, first-time poster - everybody else has said what I have wanted to say, that this is a fantastic timeline which is very engaging, with amazing world-building to boot!
One quick note - if you don't know this already - is with regard to the SMS Ersatz Yorck. Ersatz...
I was about to mention something similar. I cannot find the actual thread that it was in, I remember someone mentioning a while back that the North-German (Prussian) conservatives were not particularly interested in pan-Germanism per se, but wished to restore the borders of the old Kaiserreich...
I was hoping for a plausible set of events that would lead to ACW.2 leading on from the fall of the United Kingdom to the British People's Republic. I am aware of the dangers inherent here of the possible rise of Hitler and his ilk, but I was working on the basis that a far more 'positive...
