    Mithradates, Alsace and Lorraine were already German territories, since the Franco-Prussian war the century before. Also, everyone thinks the former navy was a huge advantage. It actually wasn't since the new Dreadnought which the British and the Germans were building in the arms race preceding WWI had been far more effective than any other ships. Destroy the British Dreadnoughts, and there would be a far greater chance of defeating the Navy. The RN wasn't invincible in the war anyway, as you should see. If it was, how did Britain almost get blockaded to starvation and surrender? Twice?

    What i didnt make clear was i meant if Germany defeated France then they would prbably get land concessions rather than some kind of German european imperium. As for those blockades i know there was U boat trouble but they were few in number, at least to mount an effective blockade. There were shortages but im pretty sure surrender was never on the cards. Not until the second world war atleast when things had changed. As for dreadnoughts being destroyed it would take something special for the germans to gain a dreadnought majority in the first world war.
