u.s has no plans to take bermuda and i don't think in NUMBER_TOKEN even after a year of build up we could successfully invade bermuda and take it from great britain the plans have absolutely no stuff written about the caribbean where great britain and the united states do both have possessions territories and bases so i think that would be a forgotten backwater and the united and the united kingdom would end up destroying a lot of american shipping there and possibly raiding american bases at places like guantanamo bay and puerto rico the united states biggest fear was that great britain wouldn't fight the war alone that they would be able to bring allies in and the ally we feared most was japan so there's an entirely separate war plan called the red orange plan which which plans for fighting a war against red great britain and orange japan and we'll cover that in a separate video later on but that really puts the united states at a disadvantage one fighting a two-front war two the two navies combined really outclassed the united states and three it's going to show the united states completely isolated in the uh in north america any colonies and possessions we have outside of north america are going to be taken and that's it we're no longer a world power even if we somehow uh survive that war this time period really interests me as a battleship enthusiast because submarines aren't as powerful and long range as they will become aircraft carriers and carrier aircraft definitely aren't uh and while carriers or while aircraft have proven that they can sink a stationary battleship following billy mitchell's tests on lost friesland aircraft do not in fact sink an underway battleship until december of NUMBER_TOKEN when prince of wales is sunk by japanese airplanes so even early in world war ii aircraft attack uh primarily european battleships and do damage but don't sink them or they sink battleships in port that aren't maneuvering and so a war fought in the NUMBER_TOKENs between peer adversaries like the united states and great britain would be a battleship war without submarines or aircraft carriers playing as decisive a role as they would a decade later during world war ii who do you think would have won in this hypothetical war and what war plan do you want to see next let us know in the comments section down below battleship new jersey receives operating support from the new jersey department of state and also from a number of other businesses and private individuals like yourselves we really appreciate the support you've given us and there's a link down in the description if you'd like to continue to support the channel you can also support us by liking sharing and subscribing so more people find out about us and our museum thanks for watching
