So I was doing some reading and it seems like the Netherlands was at something of a crises point in 1917, the balancing act of neutrality having almost started a famine. IRL as the war was close to ending the country managed to cut some quick deals with the entente and got food relief before revolutionary sentiment overflowed.

I'm thinking there might have been a socialist revolution around 1919/1920.

If that was the case I can see two options:

1. The already deployed 200,000 man army crushes the revolution and either (a supports the unpopular and failing states general or b) performs a coup and forms a military government.

2. The army mutinies and alongside the socialists overthrows the government and establishes a socialist state.

In all cases Dutch neutrality would be preserved given the circumstances, but I'd like to know your ooc and ic opinions.

It fits, it ships.

Hell if you want to carry the drama further comparisons might be made with the French revolution where once the Revolutionary government was in power they came to the conclusion or found they couldn't really fix the crisis that brought them there anyways; a famine. So they went on a reign of terror to help hide it. Just a thought.
