Hey I could have said I take GB and we ally but somehow I'd say that would have taken the fun out of it.

btw remember replacing the Pickelhaube with a steel helmet.

That would be unsporting.

"And so it was hear, at the port of Toulon, September 25th 1914 that the finnal bastion of French resistance fell. With the French fleet destroyed, the heavy guns of Royal Navy where turned against the ageing fortresses even as German sappers approached."

Of course history will change, because France will defeat you and your inept military planning in the opening weeks of the war.

Yeah probably

War can't be avoided to you main choices are how your going to fight it.

Well it is not "we," then, now is it?

Greece. I wouldn't march all the way to Ankara after WW1, thus getting the Brits to stab me in the back and lose all the territory I won, such as the Ionian city states.

I'd take over Germany in the 1930's, so Hitler doesnt' get into power, preventing World War II.

Or, I could take over France, and build up a massive army. That way, France wouldn't be known for being defeated every time. And perhaps if that happens, the French might be notorious for smelling good as well.

Just remember to protect Belgium.

During 1930 Germany owed France something like 28 billion pound. Not a good start to an empire.

The french are the people to go with, given that if Hitler is quitely removed while painting post cards, France is due a fortune in war reparations.

I'd take the Bahama's, and spend all my time ensuring it becomes a haven for rich single women from across the globe (Harems don't build themselves

). Wars? What wars? Just fun in the sun and beautiful women to play with.

Which will never be paid because doing so destroys the German economy. If you reduce them massively you might get some, but if you demand the full amount you'll get even less.

So, I give them to me. I'll take GB for a month, give the Bahama's to myself as a 'Country Estate' and then abdicate.

Order the Royal navy to scuttle its battlefleet while your at it.

Naaaaah, I'll tell them to properly patrol the North Sea and set up a Naval base in Denmark, you know, something to properly control those nasty little straits.

Then I'd cease caring and get done to some serious Fun in the Sun.

I'm there! I'll just get a lackey of mine to rule Jamaica in my place while I'm gone. Ah who, cares!?! Let Jamaica run itself into the ground or worse! I'll just island hop.
