OK. I meant more specifically does the U.S. start launching a build up prior to this as things escalate but I can work with this. Bottom line is if it’s due to mass public outrage in the U.S., the Entente is fucked sixteen ways to Sunday. France can’t do shit against the U.S. because their navy...

Oh it's a totally absurd scenario where the OP *really* needs to clarify why the fuck this is happening and what the lead-up is. @Cherico would you mind clarifying on the background? Is this a sudden personality shift/does the U.S. suddenly become overtly imperialist for the fun of it, or do the...

Right. And it's not like the U.S. Army and Marine Corps were ust sitting around with their thumbs up their asses, either: Regular and National Guard troops were involved in the Pancho Villa expedition, plus the various other shenanigans going on (Veracruz, Haiti, the Philippines, etc). The only...

Oh here we go again...the Army did have artillery and machine guns in 1914, so yes they will still have them two years later. Also keep in mind we put several million men under arms and trained in two years so quite frankly I’m starting to wonder if you’re actually trolling or what. Also...

Eh, not really. Bermuda’s harbor isn’t sheltered from storms and so any sizable force is at significant risk of getting wrecked by Mother Nature. Hence why cutting them off from Halifax is critical: it was the only real port they had (Quebec City wasn’t big enough IIRC, and also way out of...

Actually it was the war stalling out that resulted in Hindenburg and Ludendorff coming to power. If the U.S. actually enters the war on the side of the Central Powers, it likely means that they don’t get the opportunity, since the British likely peace out ASAP or else lose Canada (which means...

It also helps that the industrial heartland of Canada at this time is in a very narrow corridor close to the Great Lakes and the U.S. border. And as you correctly point out, it’s a trivial matter for the U.S. to fuck with the rail lines (even if they can’t actually invade, they can still send in...

First off, extraction in the Middle East didn’t start until the late 1930s. Second, those areas were ruled by the Ottomans, another Central Power. So, no, that’s not happening. Grain? The only sources of exporting it are the U.S., Canada (which is problematic because the U.S. is right there...

OH DEAR GOD IT’S STARTING OVER HERE NOW... [Screams internally] Okay, with that out of the way... If the U.S. is not selling to the Entente, the Entente is fucked six ways to Sunday. The USN is actually pretty understrength at this point: No real cruiser force and one battleship per year. In...
