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.

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.
