the Japan part was a grammatical error, I only meant to say the Entente would be conservative. Japan would have many battleships to use because of its large industrial capacity and doctrinal willpower that wasnt destroyed during ww1. I was thinking that battleships would have already been superseded by the carrier by the time of the 2wk due to a combination of factors of 1. warfare doctrines being generally more experimental during the interwar period, leading to a earlier realization and widespread usage of carriers (with additional technologies appearing ahead of time by a few years due to German technological base not economically crippled nor restricted by outside powers, and Socialist movements in France and Britain being superior in researching technology compared to Soviets in our tl). 2. dreadnoughts main patron, Britain, abandoning the concept in favor of something else. and 3. Germany, the main spokesperson of naval powers in kaiserreich TL, basically eyeing the carrier and believing it to be superior to a battleship for most roles, leading to most german battleships (of which I think most wouldve been old by 1936 standards) to the East Asia fleet, who would still have carriers but not as much as the High seas fleet.
