I have a bit of a disconnect here.
The scene with the family makes little sense to me. Not the jewish part, that is imaterial here, but the whole set up. They talk about reopening a Bank and are openly Socalist with, to me at least, communist leanings... uhm, well could someone explain why they...
Reading the "Background" part on wiki here,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italo-Turkish_War
it seems to me it would be less "stopping Italy by diplomatic pressure" and more not edging Italy on... so well not a good start.
There afaik were also some points on this in the "Sleepwalkers" and how it...
Imo, you brush the USA contribution away a bit to much. But that is only my opinion.
The entry of the USA allowed Imo the "unlimited" material faucet to be opend. That granted the Entente the possibility to keep figthing the "rich mans war". Again that is only my opinion and I am more than happy...
Because as far as I know it was all legal. Maybe an overreach but still within the law. And as soon as the war would be over... poof goes the power. And also very important, Hindenburg and Ludendorf did not depower the Reichstag and the other institutions. So the moment they had the possibility...
Thanks for the clarification and new info, for me at least. But my post was more for a hook for a TL were Germany acts a bit more inteligently in this and plans for a possible leak and has a story in hand for why it send the message. What ever follows was not mentioned by me.
If as positioned...
Depending on, if the Telegram in question was already in Mexican hands, one could create a narative it was a test of transmission security and integrity of codes.
So if the message is not yet in Mexican hands it could be argued that it was a "Sting Operation" by the Germans to tarnish the...
Nice last chapter that got me thinking.
How is the difference, if there is one, between the German Empire and the USA in this TL in regards to race relations?
Because it seems to me after the last chapter that the USA is somewhat... lets call it painlessly on the way of OTL. So without OTL's...
It sounds as if someone is trying their "Stupid Luck and Happenstance" at writing a story...
So how long until the Films / Series starts appearing in story... (or RL)
Very true that. The USW was a very bad decision with hindsight. Imo they should make the questionable British practices more prevelent in the news... like ram orders or the use of auxiliary reserve ships of the RN as civilian liners in wartime (that even transport war relevant cargo). Not to...
I have to strongly disagree here. If the Grand Fleet is sunk or decimated, it spells the end for the biggest stick the Empire had in keeping the neutrals... well neutral. As in keeping quite and accept the British actions that were on shaky legal ground.
Another point would be that lenders see...
Interesting speculations going on here.
My thinking for this would be that a restructurinig of the HSF command structure would be one of the "low hanging fruit" that could change things up from OTL. As that was a mess.
Other things that Imo would not overly influence the British would be...
Could you point out where those "EU" treaties create something analog to OTLs European Union that could give out subsidies? Because I read it as a treaty that creates a legal frame work and some enforcement for those. But not something like the EU.
Gah, ... I don't have time for a reread right now...
This TL is simply too long to keep everything in mind.
Otherwise, @Rinasoir thanks for the responses. And I hope 2024 treats you well.
Hopefully we could get a actual picture of the situation in Europe regarding the realations between the...
Would the LoN need to compel the two sides? Imo it could be trying to bring the two sides together and find a solution. Not rule it on one way or the other. They may try to assume that role if they get the taste for it... but I have not seen enough of the LoN to say one way or the other.
Maybe...
I am not versed in the rules / laws of Ireland in that regard. But my thinking was, that should the Church / Vatican block the lawful orders, then Kennedy could call the LoN for arbitration. How they would react to that... well...
