Probably, they after all started moving out of the areas the VOC controlled before already because of how much control the VOC wanted/had. Though depending on how it's done they could be more similar to the Australians than the Afrikaners we know now. Ie. they're their own thing, but also not at...

One thing that needs to be noted is that the dialect of Köln is actually way more on the Dutch side than the German one. And there's similar things going on in various Rhineland areas. Also there's already a standard Dutch by that time and it will not be completely going away. It's more likely...

It certainly is possible for the frisians to (re)gain control over most of holland and what later became the Netherlands, the languages are quite close and depending on the dialect mutually intelligible, and it seems that historically that seems to have been the case as well. There's even a...

I've actually read that most obnoxious book by mr Hitler. I cannot understand how he could come to those horrible conclusions. Glad that he changed his opinion after! I do think we can all agree that if there wasn't a communist uprising and a subsequent monarchist revival then something else...

are there that many in Germany? I think most are in eastern europe

I honestly think a genocidal dictatorship is a bit ASB mate, a dictatorship is something I can agree would happen? But genocidal? Nah. Besides against whom would they be genocidal? The French? I mean they lost their colonies so genocide seems impossible, I mean they wouldn't and couldn't do it...

Without the German restauration it's quite likely that the House of Habsburg wouldn't manage to get back in Austria and some of the surrounding countries.

Unless they were promised specific trading rights, which is not improbable either since the Dutch had massive trade relations with Prussia ánd Sweden. A lot of the Swedish and Prussian lords and grand landholders exported stuff to NL at the time

Amsterdam IS the capital of NL. Another sollution could be Brussel or The Hague, or even Utrecht

yup

the Kings of Kings on Java should suffice, or just the fact that it conquered all the local kings and just a large region. More than enough to claim an Emperorship imho. Best way though would be with a bigger Dutch colonial empire which become independent countries in a larger Empire similarly...

or possibly redirect them into Dutchland instead of them happening in France. I wonder though, would a stronger Russia help? I mean their constant infighting them to be fractured both along religious as well as cultural lines these days, but if it had been stronger, could it have been a force...

yes, they still celebrate the expulsion of the Dutch from there also! Or their sack and burning of Prague and Berlin. Though if you want the Dutch Empire broken, just attacks from the east aren't going to cut it, in fact I'd suggest the changes which need to happen are a role reversal between...

A Prussian Prince getting killed by the Nazis for his defence against fascism in a show trial which causes an obvious resistance against the Nazis in Prussia might be a good start. Alle then need is to swing the propaganda to declare Austria the root of German mitarism and aggression. A well...
