An Alternate World War for The Netherlands.

Battleship strategy is slowly dying out in the Royal Navy as carrier Technology and tactics Progress so they are not all that interested in wasting a lot of money on a Class of ships that is going to be worthless in ten years. There have been some designs and speculation but the carriers Graf Zeppelin and Graf Hindenburg steamrolling dozen Dutch Battleships and battlecruisers during a wargame sank the those ideas pretty throughly.



Germany still have all their historical colonies in Asia due to the Dutch backing their claims and both Japan and China respected them enough to let the matter go.

Not anymore, it was sold to Japan when they began to open up to the West.

It is, although depending on where you are it might vary from "mildly accented" all the way to "is this even Dutch at all?". What we would consider proper Dutch isn't spoken much outside the United Provinces and even there there are some wierd dialects.

Part III: Equality for All!

“Rather red than dead.”
Communist slogan.

In Britain the situation was similar to that of France. After years of watching their fellow men being shot down without care for title or fortune, the average man had become thoroughly disillusioned with the class system and began demanding change. The economic crisis only made things worse as thousands took to the street in protest against the elite, who were blamed for everything wrong in Britain. In these conditions Mosley gathered enough followers to commit a coup of the sitting government , planning to create the perfect communistic society.
While in theory the army should have immediately stormed the capital to arrest Mosley, most of the soldiers were sympathetic to the communist cause and refused to remove him. Some enterprising soldiers even arrested their officers for “un-communistic behaviour” when they were ordered to reinstate the queen.
The ensuing chaos forced most of the royal family to escape to Canada until order had been restored. Only Edward VIII remained, sympathetic to the communist cause and confident that they could be reasoned with.
It was a wasted effort. Feeling secure in his new power base, Mosley disbanded the monarchy and replaced it with the Democratic Republic of Britain.
Despite being driven from her home, Queen Elizabeth refused to accept Mosley’s posse as the new government and called upon the international community to help.
The only response was a public denouncement of the coup and nothing more. Despite there being plans in place for a proposed invasion of England, no actions were taken. There was simply no appetite for a war so close to home.
Mosley however, had an appetite for war. Having purged the government and military of anyone deemed to be “non-communistic”, he needed a way to show himself as a strong leader. In his opinion, the best way was to take control of Canada. By doing so, the rest of the colonies would inevitably fall in line with his way of thinking, or so he thought.
In May 1936, he declared war on the “Canadian terrorists”
The war would be far from as grandiose as people thought, with little happening for months beside the occasional raid and bombing of Canadian ports. Gradually, People began calling the war the “Phoney War”.
It was first in September 1936 that the war entered a new phase as the Red Navy trapped and forced a battle with its Canadian counterpart. The victory paved a way for Red marines to land and capture Halifax, opening the country for a more general invasion. By October, almost half a million troops had landed and despite repeated counter-attacks, the Canadian army had failed to do more then slow the Communist invasion down.
With the situation grim, Queen Elizabeth had no choice to ask for foreign help. She was met with a lackluster response. Berlin had little interest in conflicts halfway across the world when they were already busy supporting China and pacifying their Middle East colony and Sweden refused to break their isolationist stance.
Amsterdam was more willing to listen, but only offered military equipment and volunteers. The last thing they wanted to do was get involved into another conflict when war was threatening in Europe itself.
Their hesitation proved disastrous when Louisiana invaded Canada from the South. With most of their forces tied up defending against the Red Army, Louisianian troops met only minimal resistance as they advanced.
With New Netherland being the obvious next target should Canada surrender, the Dutch Commonwealth and United States began preparations for a pre-emptive strike. It was hoped that a swift assault on Louisiana's vital areas would be enough to force them to a favourable peace. If not, Allied generals were ready to continue the war until they got the peace they desired.

Ya mean the fancy-schamcy way those folks up North talk? Here in da Boer States we speak proper, With no such silly Thing as "grammar".

Lousiana is a Republic that has grown out of French Lousiana. Some Royal British Navy crews supported the Queen but most did not care one way or the other, the only Thing that mattered for them was that they got proper funding. The Royal Canadian Navy initially consisted of a pair of heavy cruisers, a light carrier and some light cruisers and destroyers. After the defeat the Survivors sought refuge in New Netherlands and are part of the planned ABCD-force.

Here you have a map:

Yes, but instead of being from 2013 like in the book I instead decided to set it in 1922 since this timeline Will change the world quite a bit.
