Kaiserreich


An Alt-Post WW1 NRP

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Five years. Five years in hell. That's how long it too to end the Great War that started with a shot to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. It took five long, gruesome years in dirty trenches and the deepest hell for the Great War that ravaged Europe finally came to an end. On November 11, 1918, what was left of the battered European powers came together to sign the Treaty to end the fighting, the Treaty of Brandenburg. Germany claimed victory over the defeated French and Italians and was now the strongest power in Europe with the most land. Europe has fallen into dark times as well as the world, humanity might have gone through hell in the Great War, but to recover, they might just have to go through another.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Welcome to Kaiserreich, where as stated the Central Powers claimed victory in WW1, leading to a very different post-war world then in our timeline. I am going to go ahead and cover a few European Countries as well as a few of the other majors powers. Do to my limited knowledge of other countries, going to request that everyone help me fact-check things and arrange the most likely possibilities for countries. This shall help for a better overall experience.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Germany

With a Central Victory German Nationalism stood stronger than ever, despite much of the damage that would need to be repaired. Their Empire had expanded to include the Eastern European territories taken from Russia upon their withdrawal. Due to the recent end of the war Germany is focusing on expanding the bureaucracy to make these areas more efficient and incorporated into the Empire. As it stands mismanagement exists in these places, leading to losses of resources from them. The German Empire also took many colonies from France, leaving them with only a few scattered across Africa.

Austria-Hungary

Taking all of Italy’s colonies at the end of the war, Austria-Hungary completely reorganized itself to solve the instability problems that had come from their minorities. Now known as the Austrian-Hungarian Confederation, the dual monarchy only held direct control over Austria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. The rest of it’s territory was divided along ethnic lines, and then these areas were granted extreme autonomy. This has helped Austria-Hungary on the path to recovery, but much damage still exists from the Great War.

Ottoman Empire

At the end of the war the Ottomans were quite mad. Germany in forging the treaty did not grant any territory to them, only war reparations. However it did not matter for long, as despite the victory the Ottomans suffered a massive collapse. They are now in a rush to attempt to reclaim their lost territories, as they fight massive rebellions from every territory that does not compose Modern-day Turkey.

The United Kingdom

In this alternate timeline, the UK was not actually involved in the Great War. Degrading relations with France led the UK to convince Belgium to allow German troops passage, and despite their importance as one of the Greatest Empires in Europe they remained neutral for the rest of it. They sold equally to both sides, and while not suffering much damage economic troubles that arose from WW1 are starting to creep in and effect the grand British Empire.

France

The most heavily affected nation in Europe due to heavy German pushes through their territory, they have suffered greatly. Only keepin Algeria, Syria, Madagascar, and all of their island colonies remained in their hands, the rest taken by the Germans. Without the resources, they have suffered great economic troubles. This has lead to the rise of Fascism and the installation of a Fascist Dictatorship in France has occurred, with the Dictator turning France’s hate and troubles towards the Germans. Despite this France is having trouble recovering, and without a great plan and many lucky streaks, France may never recover.

Russia

Much like in our timeline, Russia fell to communist revolution. However they were unable to recover Imperial Russia’s former territories in Eastern Europe. The Bolsheviks have begun massive preparations to put Russia on a swift path to recovery from the Great War and industrialization. They are hoping that in the future, they can recover the lost territories of Russia.

Italy

Tempted to the Allies’ side by promises of being able to take their claimed territories from Austria-Hungary, they suffered greatly. They lost of all of their colonies to Austria-Hungary, and are now facing severe economic troubles. However the rise of a powerful Fascist Dictatorship has brought new hope to restoring the glory of Italy.

The USA

While never directly joining the war, they sold hefty amounts of arms and supplies to the Allies. However their failure led to a severe economic downturn and depression in America, and a huge loss of support in the government from the people. Two powerful political factions have risen, a Communist and Fascist party. Both are competing heavily, and the Federal Government is having trouble keeping them in control. The dawn of a Second American Civil War is coming, but this time it shall be three-sided, and driven by ideological bounds.


You can play as any country you like, I just listed these as I felt their history be most important. I will personally be playing Germany.

If I participate (because I have a lot on my plate already) then may as well take Austria-Hungary.
I'm Hungarian so I do know what to do with them.

Speaking of which, exactly what you mean by "Austria" or "Hungary" because neither of these nations were the same as they are right now.
Also nationalism was an issue but exactly for this reason as the "victors" they'd throttle it down with vengeance.
Similarly, what Czechoslovakia are you talking about? Their territory was pretty much shared between Austria and Hungary until nationalist took the opportunity after WW1.
Either way, internal politics will be handled well because by this period the current king is Charles IV who was a pretty level-headed and amicable ruler (unfortunately he took the throne during the wrong time, well not in this RP).

BTW, why did this war last for 5 years without the help of either the Brits or the USA?
That makes no sense. At its absolute best the war would've ended in 1916 without them, especially if the Germans are allowed free pass through Belgium.
Then again, why would UK allow that? The Great War was all about re-shuffling the control over colonies which the Central Powers missed out on before.

If you'd displayed the tiniest amount of common sense and actually read the original post, you'd have found that your questions were already answered. Anti-French sentiment persuaded the United Kingdom to force Belgium to tolerate German troop movements, and Austria-Hungary confederated.

duck, what sort of NRP will this be? Stats based, more free-form?

Free-form, as per the usual.

And the reason I had the war end on the same date as it did IRL was more of a convenience thing for me then anything.

Edit:Nexus, mind being a Co-GM? I do not know as much about the time period as I like and you seem to be pretty knowledgeable.

Heres a way to explain it, The people of Germany hated France so much and wanted to make the French suffer.

Thats make no sense ever.

Even Jingoistic Germans aren't going to drag a war on just to make people suffer.

In addition to ^, it sounds weird that anyone would want to waste resources required to drag on an official war...

Hate to bust your bubble, but Duck did say he was going to be the germans so you'll have to go for option 2 and be either Communist America or if you're up to the challenge, Federalist America

I did read the OP. And it makes no sense because UK would've known they're the next in line. Like I said among some other reasons the purpose of WW1 was the revision on colonization, which obviously involves the UK. Even if the UK doesn't wish to enter the war, they will. Just like how it happened with America (thanks to Germany's hilariously bad plan to use Mexico to attack the USA). Either way even without Belgium allowing passage and the UK actively fighting if the German leadership is less desperate and wait till the Bolsevik uprising makes Russia exit the war it ends circa around 1917-18. So that's better for the timeline.

The only thing I'm not sure on is whether Austria-Hungary would informally break up in 1917 like it happened in history. Suppose they don't if the war will be in their favor. Absolutely not if we go with the above scenario and the French get overwhelmed "quick" a year before this would've happened. I'm also not sure if Italy would side with the Entente without the UK trying to convince it (and how the French would be at the brink of defeat).

I realize it may not be the most accurate scenario, but the way I have it setup makes things a lot easier on me.
