Talk:The Republic of Prussia

Just a point, but the timing doesn't quite work that well... it would have been impossible for the USA to defeat Germany by May of 1917 even if it declared war on Inauguration Day. In our timeline, it required the better part of 14 months to begin shipping meaningful numbers of troops to Europe after we declared war. We simply didn't have a large army, and needed to conscript and train masses of men from scratch. Even if the Republicans had declared war earlier than OTL, it would have taken until spring 1918 to do much. They could, however, provide massive material support to Russia before then, which would have stalled German offensives both west and east. Their best bet is to provide consumer goods and food to keep the Russian populace happy long enough to win the war and then press for reforms and economic development... otherwise, Russia would become a new Austria-Hungary and fall apart fairly soon.--Loughery111 06:48, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
