1897-1903 German plan to invade the US

Postby BillB » Sun Jun 08, 2014 1:12 pm

German battleships shelling Boston? Infantry battalions storming the streets of New York? These events might read like something from science fiction, but new research suggests that Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was considering an attack on the United States...

I've read an alternate history book about this occurring. The Germans lost because almost every American was patriotic and owned firearms.
