It's Groß-Deutschland, but not as we know it...

Man this took awhile! And I have an exam tomorrow too, but you all know I love you so

Okay let's bang this out!

********************

Central Powers win WW1 after America never enters and France and Italy get smashed up in 1918. War finally ends in 1919 with the Germans deciding to cut the Ottomans loose and make good with most of continental Europe.

They come to an agreement with Britain after another few months of naval warfare, sacrificing some Pacific colonies as well as South West and East Africa.

Italy got carved up and federated, occupied by Austrian troops, and with a Bavarian Pope in the newly reformed Patrimony of Saint Peter. Italians grumble about the loss of their pride, but the slightly more effective federal government and German investment makesit bearable.

France went Communist after about over 10 years of Civil War, emergency governments and marshal law, prompting a German invasion in 1935. It was basically a repeat of 1871, only this time they stayed a teensy bit longer. Everyone in Berlin had finally had enough of France messing things up in Western Europe, and since they were sure they'd start another war if given half a chance they went all out in carving the place up. 10 years of occupation later, and things range from relatively nice to pretty fucking scary across the former nation.

Austria-Hungary finally broke apart, but relatively peacefully considering how bad things were in the west. With some quick thinking and a convenient marriage the states of the former Hapsburg empire formed a core along with Germany for a new European order to usher in an era of peace and prosperity under the benevolent wings of the Prussian Eagle.

Or so they thought, because some red flag-waving, Indian-loving, Monarch-overthrowing, tea-sipping chappies might have something to say about that! Yes, the Syndicalist Confederal Union of the British Isles, and their glorious African, Indian, Russian and Iberian Proleterian allies don't dig all this constitutionalism, nationalism and social democracy. You can only win freedom with a bayonet as they well know.

Someone's gonna piss in the soup, and there will be a rather epic food fight....

Stay tuned folks!

Don't remember seeing this: quite nice.

I suspect that when *WWII breaks out, the initial US response will be "a pox on both your houses."

I always imagine America as quite neurotic in these worlds, just sitting at home abusing minorities and hating everyone.

But yes, they'll tool up and send arms to French and Irish rebels if they ask nicely, but other than that sit safely behind fortress Atlantic glaring at the Krauts and Red Limeys.
