United Commonwealth: Canada-class battleships (Canada, India, Australia and New Zeeland). United States of America: Montana-class battleships (Montana, Ohio, Maine and New Hampshire). Empire of Germany: Berlin-class battleships (Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Deutschland). |

So, what do you think was the most heinous crime committed by a non-British member of the Sorelian League? The French attempt to wipe out the Algerians? Japanese massacres in China?

The Japanese massacres in China as not even the French in Algeria manged to kill somewhere around 10 to 15 million people in Algeria where it is estimated that it was no more than 1 to 2 million. |

Even though the Algerian Genocide at most probably killed 2 million people, most Algerians were turned into slave labor for the Third French Empire's war effort. Also, was the rise of Sorelianism in Britain, France, and Japan inevitable or not?

Well, I'm of the opinion that France could have become communist as France, pre-1934, had a strong communist party, so, do you think that the peace enforced by the Quadruple Alliance of China, Russia, Germany, and the USA on the Entente of Britain, France, Italy, and Japan led to the rise of Communism in Italy and Sorelianism in the other three Entente powers?

I think you right communism came to Italy as it was already there and manged to game into power before the Quadruple Alliance had any change to get a democratic government in place in Italy. |

The terms of the peace treaty against France was punitive compared to the treaties the Quadruple Alliance had against Britain and Japan as the Treaty of the Hague stipulated that France abandon all her colonies aside from French Indochina, Algeria, and French West Africa with Germany gaining all of the colonies handed over by France, that the French army be reduced to 250,000 men with only 125 planes, that the French navy be reduced to 6 battleships, none bigger that 25,000 tons or with guns larger than 14 inch guns, and the like while Britain and Japan got lenient peace treaties after the Entente's defeat in WW1.

Britain got a good peace deal because the United Commonwealth made sure that they got one and Japan coup and also the fact that they had still fighting power made it clear that both got a better peace deal than France. |

Well, I was talking about the one which ended the First World War (1915-1919), which started because of a disagreement over how to distribute the ruins of Austria-Hungary as the Germans wanted to annex Austria and Bohemia and Russia wanted to annex Galicia while the French, British, and Italians wanted Austria-Hungary to become a series of small nations with Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Galicia, and Croatia being the main countries.

Sorry forgot about that but you are right in that regards. |

Yes, so, when do you think was the Alliance's victory in WW1 guaranteed? When the Americans formally joined the Triple Alliance of Russia, China, and Germany, trasforming it into the Quadruple Alliance in 1917? Or did the Italian Revolution of 1918 lead to the Alliance winning?

I think the United States joining in 1917 and latter the Italian Revolution of 1918 where a major factor in the end of the Great War. |

Was the collapse of Austria-Hungary what caused the Great War in itself or was the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire merely the spark which ignited the fire in your opinion? I'd lean towards the latter due to Alsace-Lorraine, Korea, Afghanistan and Persia, or the Balkan troubles could have led to the Great War. Also, what do you think of the latest episode of "Struggle for the Iron Throne" (OOC: Alt-Game of Thrones)? It features Cersei launching a bloody coup d'etat which leads to most of the Small Council along with any of her opponents in the capital being picked off by the Kingsguard and either arrested or killed with Tommen dying and Cersei having a new, more pliable puppet on the Iron Throne.
