How Germany Could Have Won World War I

I don't usually delve into alternate history, but the folks at National Interest wanted it. Hopefully it will provide some food for thought (or at least junk food for thought)

Nothing I haven't seen covered before (although it was nice to see a greater emphasis on the question of "What was the point of creating the High Seas Fleet?"), but a fascinating read nonetheless.  Thanks for sharing Michael!

A great article, I agree! and it sure brought a lot of WW1 geeks out of the woodwork down in the comments section. :D

I am the Kaiser of WWI Geeks. Thanks for posting! Every time I read about The Great War it becomes more and more sad for me...definitely the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.

With the rise on nationalism, it was inevitable. I think we may be getting a refresher course in Ukraine/Russia. Russia never really recovered from the trauma which started 100 years ago.

Nice work, Michael - great article.

Grogheads published a book review: Grey Tide in the East - an alt-history where Germany does not invade Belgium.

This has also been the strategy of many AARs in a host of WW1 strategic wargames.
