## History

### Pre Weltkrieg

Following the Napoleonic Wars, Prussia, under the leadership of statesmen like Otto von Bismarck, underwent substantial changes, aiming to consolidate power and unify the German states. Bismarck's policies, including realpolitik and a focus on military and industrial development, aimed at expanding Prussian influence and power. The kingdom engaged in three significant wars during this period: the Schleswig-Holstein War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. These conflicts were instrumental in expanding Prussian territories and solidifying its dominance, ultimately leading to the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, with Prussia at its core. The German Empire, established in 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War, marked a significant shift in European politics and power dynamics. Under the leadership of Otto von Bismarck, the Empire unified a collection of German-speaking states, fundamentally altering the balance of power in Europe. Bismarck, known as the "Iron Chancellor," skillfully employed a combination of diplomacy and military might to achieve unification. The period under Bismarck's chancellorship was marked by his adept management of international alliances, particularly the formation of the Triple Alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy, aimed at securing Germany's position in Europe. His policies, encapsulated in "Realpolitik," aimed to maintain stability and prevent the isolation of Germany. However, Bismarck's dismissal in 1890 by Emperor Wilhelm II led to a shift in Germany's direction. Wilhelm II pursued a more aggressive foreign policy, leading to increased tensions and a naval arms race, which significantly contributed to the outbreak of the First Weltkrieg.

### Weltkrieg

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo, served as the catalyst for a cascading series of events that led to the outbreak of World War I. The assassination, carried out by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist, triggered Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia. The intricate web of alliances across Europe further intensified the situation. Russia, in support of Serbia, mobilized its forces, prompting Austria-Hungary to seek support from its ally, Germany. As a result, Germany declared war on Russia and its ally, France. The German invasion of Belgium, a neutral country, en route to France, outraged the United Kingdom, leading to its declaration of war on Germany in defense of Belgian sovereignty.

The ensuing conflict, known as the First World War, saw the Entente powers, comprising primarily the UK, France, and Russia, against the Central Powers, led by Germany and Austria-Hungary. While the war initially saw a series of stalemates and devastating trench warfare, German victories on the Eastern Front against Russia were significant. However, the war ultimately led to a grueling stalemate. As the conflict dragged on, internal strife within the Entente powers, compounded by the Russian Revolution and subsequent communist upheavals, contributed to the weakening and eventual collapse of their governments, paving the way for Germany's eventual victory in the First Weltkrieg.

### Cold War

Following the tumultuous years of the First Weltkrieg and the subsequent victory of the German Empire, the 20th century witnessed the rise of a persistent Cold War between the Deutsches Weltreich (German World Empire) and the International, an alliance primarily composed of Communist states. The International included the Syndicalist States of America, the Soviet Union, the French Commune, the Socialist Union of Italy, and the Union of Britain. This ideological division perpetuated a global stand-off marked by political tensions, espionage, and proxy conflicts. The Deutsches Weltreich found itself embroiled in numerous proxy wars, notably the Rhodesian War, serving as an analogue to the Vietnam War, and the German Invasion of Ukraine, both emblematic of the broader struggle for influence and power.

Germany's intervention in the Second American Civil War significantly altered the political landscape. An expansionist move, Germany played a decisive role by annexing Montana, the Dakotas, Idaho, and Wyoming, integrating them into Canada. This strategic move not only expanded German influence but also reshaped the power dynamics in North America, causing ripple effects that resonated throughout the broader global political arena.

### Second Weltkrieg

On 1993, Ukraine left Mitteleuropa after a government Coup, joining the International. Not wanting to lose the Reich‘s breadbasket, The Reich declared war on Ukraine due to an alleged illegal take over of the Government. The International would then declare war on Germany in defense of their ally, not wanting to lose a strategic ally due to reasons that were listed above. German Forces would have success at first, occupying a majority of Continental Europe and European Russia. But once Winter has set in, they would be pushed back. German Forces mounted a counteroffensive in Central Asia, which failed. They would later be pushed back to the Rhine River and the River Elbe. As a last resort, German Forces invaded the Scandinavian Countries, in order to try and stock up their supplies as they ran low. This would be a huge mistake for the German Empire, as they could‘ve used their remaining forces to launch a possibly successful counteroffensive against the International, recapturing some of their land such as Poland, Prussia and Bohemia. Germany would soon surrender on 1998, ending their rule over Europe.
