German Civil War (reemergence)

== Prelude ==
=== 2053 ===
In 2053 the right wing party DVP (Deutsche Vaterlands Partei / German Fatherlands Party) wins 25% of the votes in the election. The DVP and the conservative Christian democrats create a new government. Later that year the Party's leader, Frank Adler leads the walk on Berlin and declares himself chancellor. 
Even before the walk on Berlin there were protests against the new government in Hamburg, Berlin and the Rhenish region.
The walk on Berlin was the event which started the German civil war. After it Democratic and Socialist all around Germany started rebelling against the new government. 
== The War ==
=== The walk on Berlin ===
DVP members and members of other far-right groups were led to the Reichstag in Berlin by their leader Frank Adler. They were held before the Reichstag until one of the Protestants revealed his weapon and shot one of the police officers. After the shot they stormed the building. In the storm 12 police officers got fatally wounded. In the building they hold the Senate captive until they unanimously elected Adler Chancellor. Throughout Germany Adler wasn't recognized as chancellor, by politicians and the public
=== The Hamburg revolts ===
The civil war started with Hamburg in which socialist started openly revolting against the DVP government. They quickly reacted by sending the military to Hamburg, which led to the revolts escalating into a civil war. 
=== Rhenish revolts ===
taking Hamburg as an example many cells in the Rhenish region also started revolting against the DVP, which also quickly escalated into a civil war. In 2055 the Social Democratic politican Mark Stern declared the Rhenish Republic.
=== Bavarian Succession ===
The Christian Democrats always were strong in Bavaria and after the DVP used them to get into power the Bavarian government tried to declare independence and started a war against Germany. 
=== The European split ===
Because Germany still was a member of the European Union they could only support the German side of the civil war, even though many members wanted to support the Rhenish, Hamburgian or Bavarian side of the war. When the Rhenish Republic and the Bavarian Free State were declared the member states had to discuss whether they would recocnize these countries. While most countries either voted for recocnizing them, Poland, Austria, Turkey, Spain and Bulgaria voted against it. After the EU officially recocnized them as countries they sent troops to Bavaria, Hamburg and the Rhenish Republic. However Poland, Austria, Turkey, Spain and Bulgaria suppoted Germany in the civil war. This was the origin of the European split and eventually led to the destruction of the EU.
=== Other supporters ===
Beside the Countries of the European Union other countries also supported sides of the civil war. 
The United states throughout the civil war were indecisive which side to support and so they only got invovled in the very end of the War. In the election of 2056 Mike eagle, an left-wing democrat, won the presidential election with the promise to end the german civil war. Under him the USA supported especially the Rhenish Republic. 
The Russian Federation supported Germany in the hope they might get a new ally in their planned expansion. They also hoped the German civil war would further destabilize the European Union.
Out of historic ties to the region the United Kingdom supported Hamburg.
== End of the War ==
At the end of Mike eagles first year as President he managed to arrange a meeting between Rhenish, German, British, Bavarian, French and Russian leaders to discuss a peace in the German civil war. In the peace treaty the Rhenish Republic gave regions in Hesse back to Germany for independence. Hamburgian and Bavarian independence was accepted under the condition that they won't join the EU or NATO. 
=== Aftermath ===
The civil war was a major reason for Germany, Poland and Austria to leave the EU and found their own ecconomical pact. it also created closer ties between Germany and Russia. 
The outcome of the war led to Mike eagle to get reelected. The fact that Mike Eagle supported the Rhenish Republic and not the original German state fuelled hatred for Eagle.
