Instead, while the Battle of Verdun was raging, they thought it was better to help the German with their plans to take over the whole continent, before using its resources for a second war against GB. Had the Germans succeeded, they'd have become a de facto German colony as was planned for Holland and the like. With a German dominated customs union and military domination, they'd have had to do what the Lutherans told them.
They'd have had less control over their own affairs than they did in 1914, compared to being a self governing dominion in the imperial economic bloc. They're as bad as Jinnah and his religious partition heresy.
