      And if we're talking about alternate history that still resembles ours, there is Fuhrerreich. Their counterpart of Nazism, namely Valkism, is not about racial superiority or ethnic purity, but about *cultural* superiority. A Valkist wouldn't give a fuck if you are Jewish, Slav or whatever, as long as you follow the german cultural norms you'd be seen as "pure". And those that don't? Well, they get educated, some laws get introduced, and they will fall in line by themselves. Valkists also follow progressive ideas like racial equality, free speech and women's equality, while still being an authoritarian nationalist ideology.
      If I had to choose an alternate history Germany to live in, apart from the Kaiserreich, Valkist Germany is close second.

    You know, the explanation of how this happened makes alot of sense. instead of the Lusitania getting sunk, it was the other way around, with the british sinking an american vessel. Then, because the american's never joined the war, the german attack in early 1918 that nearly broke France and Britian's lines in our timeline actually succeeded, because american troops weren't there to reinforce the western front.

    • @finlaybullough499
      @finlaybullough499 Před 4 lety +27

      Winston Knight Sort of. But even had the Spring offensive been successful, the complete collapse of France seems unlikely. Especially bearing in mind that the Spring Offensive was launched before US troops began arriving in any significant numbers so the lack of US involvement wouldn’t have made much of a difference. It was the allied Hundred Days offensive where US troops were vital.

    • @addickland5656
      @addickland5656 Před 4 lety +47

      actually, if I remember correctly(I've read the lore a while ago) 1918 was the germans staying on the defensive in the west(just now with a lot of men and most of the big guns from the east) against more entente offensives after their relative "succes" at passchendaele which pushed the germans back at high cost. these new ones however (to put it mildly) went disastrous with the sudden influx of fresh german troops evening the odds. 1918 really was another 1915 in this timeline, with the germans holding in the west, and sending the rest of their freed up troops to italy, the balkans and the middle east. IIrc, they used the "stormtroopers" tactics to break the macedonian front and push the entente out of Greece, before sending strong forces to help the ottomans turn the tide at aleppo and mosul, slowly pushing the british back down south. the big decisive year was 1919, with that famous spring offensive, which was much less rushed against a much more weakened enemy compared to real life(no million americans for example) and almost reached paris, causing the british and French to pull most forces out of italy and the middle east to defend the French capital which allowed the central powers to finish the italians off and break through towards rome and the French border(remember that in this timeline the central powers aren't starving due to ukranian grain and the americans pressuring the british into lessening their blokade). The final blow consists of two events: the german army makes an all-out final push and captures paris despite massive losses on both sides, and the german navy throws everything it has against the british home fleet, permanently breaking the blokade despite again enormous losses on both sides. with france descending into revolution and being forced to sign an armistice to save paris from occupation, the british are the only enemy left, refusing to make peace. the rest of 1919 is simply breathing, recovering and consolidating for Germany and its new power bloc. 1920 is germany siding with the Whites, help them crush the soviets, and forcing them to accept the treaty of brest-litovsk thereby dashing british hope for a renewed eastern front. 1921 is both sides staring at each other. 1922 is the peace with honour. Voila, that's the kaiserreich's ww1.

It's not a matter of wanting or not wanting but rather the realization that the Dwarf States of Europe will be unable to protect their economic and political interests alone in a world of Emerging superpowers they are unable to compete with. The situation we're now in bears some strong similarities to the German Confederation right after the defeat of Napoleon. A united Germany has been unheard of before 1806. Not even a human lifetime later it became a reality.
      Also: I really, really hope by 14-15% of "true Patriots" you don't mean those neo-fascist AfD-Morons. The only thing they feel patriotic about is their own bank accounts and the money they receive from foreign powers to harm our nation. That's usually not what a Patriot does but whatever.
