Nothing. The Air Force didn't exist until 1948 - prior to that, it was the Army Air Corps.
The U.S. Air Force came into being following the end of World War II in 1946. Before that time, beginning during World War I, it was known as the U.S. Army Air Corps and was a part of the Army Signal Corps. Prior to World War I, there was no such organization, and prior to the invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers at the beginning of the 1900s, there were no aircraft, so there certainly was no Air Force in 1641.
Also known as Waffenampts, German term for markings that indicate a weapon was made for the German military, prior to and during WW II.
Much worse than they did prior to WWII.
Yes, Germany was the strongest European country before the war and after. In fact, it remains the strongest European nation to date. This is mainly due to the German economy, and not so much the German army. However, prior to and during World War I, the German army was considered the most powerful and the German navy was considered equal to the British.
I could not find the exact figure of the entire military force of the USA prior to World War 2. I did once hear there were over 300,000 people in the military at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the figures rose over 2 million during the war.
Prior to World War 1, Alsace was part of the German Empire. The Treaty of Versailes reverts Alsace back under France's control in June of 1919.
An excellent source for information about the German air force development prior to WW II and its combat and support assignments during WW II (1939-1945) would be the German publishing house >Verlag Dieter Hoffmann, 55131 MAINZ (Germany), Senefelderstr. 25< This publisher specializes in the publishing of a variety of books pertaining to the history of both the clandestine and the official (after 1935) development of the German air forces between the two world wars. Several of these books are available in bilingual German-English editions.
Gdansk, or at the time the Free City of Danzig, was a Free City, and not part of Poland during and prior to World War 2. It was administrated by Poland, but was a free city not under their government.Danzig voted to join the German Reich (as it was primarily German speaking), and German troops entered and liberated (one of the few times Germans liberated anyone during World War 2) the city from Poland during the invasion of Poland.After the war, the city along with most of Eastern Germany was granted to Poland and all German civilians were exiled or murdered, with Poles replacing them.

Prior to and during World War I, the Triple Alliance between Great Britain, France, and Russia was focused on deterring German expansion and discouraging any German declarations of war. In the event that war should break out, the Triple Alliance would stand together with a unified effort, which in fact was the case when World War I began in 1914.
I don't think any German U boats went that far south. I am sorry but my question was about "prior to our entry into WWI." I believe that the "Fanney B. Prescott" was sunk between New York and England.
