WI the Falklands fell to Von Spee in 1914?

well if he had succesed this could let the usa invoke the monroe doctorine and join the war a lot sooner

How could the US justify joining the war because Spee sank a British fleet in British territorial waters during a time of war? I fail to see how that gives the US casus belli against the Germans, so could you please go into a bit more detail?

No, the US would have remained neutral.

 

[Tocomocho]

but the biggest problem with this is suppling. there isn't a chance in hell that you could supply this base from so far away and going past so many hostile nation to make it work.

Can't they got supplies from a neutral nation like Argentina?

Argentina would be insane to join the Central Powers. They would end up provoking Brazil, which was doing a roaring trade with the Allies and was jittery about German submarine activity as the war progressed.
