Kingdom of Württemberg

State Flag of the Kingdom of Württemberg

The **Kingdom of Württemberg** (German: *Königreich Württemberg*), also called the **Kingdom of Swabia** (German: *Königreich Schwaben*) or shortened to just **Württemberg** or **Swabia**. It is a French Puppet State/Satellite State in the South German States being controlled by French politicians, just like its neighbors the Kingdom of Bavaria and Grand Duchy of Baden, Grandwith the exception of the Swiss Confederation, Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Kingdom of Prussia.

Württemberg is relatively small, which holds the function of being a Buffer State against Austria-Hungary and the Prussian Province of Hohenzollern mainly in case Bavaria falls into Austrian hands, or even betrays France.

## History

### Before the Unification War attempt (1870/71)

The Kingdom of Württemberg was subject to maintaining sovereignty but its army would be commanded by the Prussians in case of war, in which this agreement was broken when Prussia declared war against France, although they supported in important battles such as Cologne and Leipzig, it was well Little did the military force of Württemberg, which was the most backward German state by the Freikorps, during the Uprising in Stuttgard, give reason for the French not to want the Freikorps in the South Germans.

During the independent military movement of Württemberg in the Province of Westphalia, Prussia, there was a siege carried out by the Freikorps and the Prussian army thus capturing the 6th Württemberg Regiment, which was held hostage until the defeat at Leipzig two weeks later, although this failure, the 6th Württemberg Regiment, 8th Prussian Regiment and 27th Freikorps Group talked and lived together peacefully.

After the French victory Württemberg was the main stage on the discussion of the presence of the Freikorps in the South German States, and based on the Stuttgard and Karlsruhe Uprising it was decided that the Freikorps would be banned from the South German States, in the Stuttgard agreement, where Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden and Hesse signed a law that prohibited the Freikorps from acting and that they should go north, a treaty considered unfair, since the Freikorps were not summoned to give an opinion in the treaty.

### Post Unification Attempt Depression (1871-1886)

With the end of the War, Württemberg found itself having to sign a clientele agreement with the French, becoming a client of France, with this the military presence of the French began to increase along with the increase of French or Franco-German politicians in the politics of Württemberg, the debts incurred in the war only served to increase public discontent by creating several strikes, in which the police and the Württemberg army itself participated, since in comparison with Bavaria, Württemberg was literally almost excluded from the history of war, only being minimally recorded in one place or another about the conflict.

On February 5, 1879, the Rejuvenation of Württemberg took place, where mass strikes took place causing the French to return violently to it, so Napoleon IV claiming that the government of Württemberg was weak, removed all the politicians from the Württemberg Parliament and placed the French military in power, the royal family of Württemberg remained standing, although now they are hostages and can no longer exercise any position in politics, being excluded from public events, creating a suspicion that France wants to transform Württemberg into a Republic.

Several civilians did not accept this French influence in Württemberg with 600 people fleeing to Prussia, which upon learning of this France used in clandestine ways to bring them back to Württemberg in an almost successful way as the Prussians still managed to find out however, they could not do anything , with that France closed the borders of Württemberg and confiscated the passports of civilians. Several Conservatives sharply criticized the possibility of the Republification of Württemberg, which unexpectedly was taken in stride by the French.

## Policy

### Leadership

Württemberg finds itself in a kind of Military Dictatorship in favor of France, with French leaders in charge of the kingdom while the king was increasingly excluded from public life.

**(König von Württemberg)**
(born 25 February 1848)
(born 15 March 1873)
(born 18 January 1880)
(born 12 April 1875
(born 3 August 1871)

### Political System

The Political System of Württemberg is a Federalist Parliamentary Monarchy, even if in practice it is Unitary, due to French influence. Your king no longer has political power and is not allowed to attend public events until the Second Order, which was never enacted, and probably never will be.

The probability of the French to turn Württemberg into a Republic is true, but the French are experiencing difficulties in Württemberg, due to the mistake in prohibiting the king from participating in the events and not the royal family, consequently allowing the king to participate in the events as a Citizen.

## Military

Unfortunately the Württemberg Army is "Out of Control", due to the numerous strikes, allowing a more efficient French military presence, with the French having an agreement of military submission to Württemberg, prohibiting Württemberg soldiers from attacking the French.
