[WHAT IF GERMANY WON WW1? | KAISERREICH AUSTRIA-HUNGARY, BALKANS, ITALY LORE E06 - 1919-1936]
This fictional Kaiserreich Documentary series explores the althistory timeline of the world's most popular fan-built althistory IP, 'Kaiserreich'. In the world of Kaiserreich, Germany and her Central Power allies win WW1, leading to a world very different from our own.
In the sixth episode of this tentpole series, Kaiserreich developers and KCC writers explore the other Central Powers and their relations after attaining victory in the Great War. Austria-Hungary was given a new lease of life, but long-running ethnic tensions continue to simmer beneath the surface. The struggling Federation is subject to a violent political pendulum - stuck between the aspirations of Danubian reformists, and the entrenched power of the aristocratic elite. Latent German influence, and Balkan revanchism chip away at the influence of the Empire, stuck between hope and despair.
Will the continent see the rise of a great federation of equals, or suffer yet another Sick Man of Europe?

📌 Special thanks to Kraut for appearing as guest star in this video! www.youtube.com/@Kraut_the_Parrot
Awesome, Kraut is such a wonderful channel for those who haven't seen any of his videos
Let’s go kraut!
Love this channel!
I couldn't pinpoint who was giving the speech at the start, glad to see one of my favorite youtuber in this documentary.
Isn't that the guy who said Russians were "inherently authoritarian"?
Not sure why, but I find the idea of Austria-Hungry of all nations, founding the first liberal, multicultural, and multilingual federation to be one of the greatest redemption arcs ever told.
It's not even that out there as an idea. Emperor Karl was notorious for being a progressive, and Renner was a powerful force in the Empire
@@EpicMRPancake Pre and Post-Reconstruction USA: Am *_I_* a knee-slapper to you?
Austria-Hungry 💀
@@wildfire9280 Post Reconstruction is literally the start of American Imperialism
@@EpicMRPancake USA is definitely not a tolerant country
The amount of effort put into a alternate in Universe documentary series for a mod for a 7 year old game is insane. I love this team
Seven years? We've been here since 2001 😉
@@kaisercatcinema😱 how old are you ?
@@fireinthehole1986kaiserreich is older than hoi4
@@fireinthehole1986kaiserrreich started all the way back in the early 2000s with an alternate history post about what if the white Russians won the civil war. It later expanded into what if Germany won ww1. They also modded older hearts of iron games but became as popular as it did with hoi4.
@@kaisercatcinemayea,that's a lot,but imagine if you guys got a TV show,a funding for it.
It would be great to watch
Kraut really did a great job with that intro. Loved it.
I know, his delivery here is amazong
I knew it was him, I couldn't entirely pin why he sounded familiar aha
Yeah, that was great
Isn't that the guy who was spreading racist conspiracy theories a few years back?
@@kaisercatcinema, I feel like if Kraut was an actual politician who lived during this time, this is exactly the sort of thing he would do. It's great. Also, the fact that his character is literally called "The Danubian"... 'chef's kiss' Perfection.
Man what a sad ending to this one. Goodthing when playing the mod there is a chance for the empire (or federation to rise again like a phoenix)
That intro never fails to give me chills.
Symphony of the coldblooded, such a great song
Overall this a pretty interesting outlook into what could have been had the Austro-Hungarian empire not collapsed.
I don't even play Hoi4 but I always keep coming back to see and learn about this amazing and well done Alt history
You are part of a growing number of followers. Our aim here is to make Kaiserreich content accessible through free platforms, so you don't need to buy the game to appreciate the fine lore
Just the intro speech is already a masterpiece in itself.
Amazing work as always.
Thank you for what you do and thank you for this stunning documentary about my home country, on my birthday too.
Happy birthday!
Very fascinating! Both Germany and Austria-Hungary have made massive strides and look better off than they were in WWI. However, the struggles they experience now in the 30s are eerily similar to those from before. Although Austria-Hungary seems to be more stable, it is on its 2nd precipice, similar to the first: reform or die. This time it’s between decaying again into the weak state it once was or reforming once more into something anew and being able to stand tall on its own as an independent Danubian great power.
Jon kava speech made me revolutionary fr fr , it was amazing , and at the start of the video the in the first part ends with "the decrepit kaisereick" and the last part ends with "there is only the kaiseraick" , fucking amazing man , this is something special ❤ everybody that worked on this should be proud of it love it
Thanks for the kind words Kon! The use of the world kaiserreich is very intentional in this script 😁
Hungarians giving Croatia more autonomy? Guess we found the most unrealistic part of the mod
Hey, even Apponyi has a soft spot
Croatia had much autonomy. I don't know it could get even more.
@@timeanagy8495Restoring to pre-1848 situation.
But the modders still managed to find a way to undermine Croatia so it's all good!
@@overlord165 Oh, how so?
Unsure why Austria-Hungary being like this made me feel sad ☹️
Slava russia
Austria-Hungary itself shouldn't be at all
@@MeinungMann this video perfectly explains how it should have been
Its better this way, less ethnic tension
@@indominus6091 I will repeat. Autria-Hungary shouldn't exist
As a person coming from the center of the Austria-Hungary, from Bratislava and fond of the Habsburg family. it feels quite sad to see the possible opportunity of the reforms that could led us to the bright future under the Habsburg Crown.
Eh, considering how some of my kin was treated for refusing that privilege, how the Austrians actively resist improvement (some of their shit costs double than in Germany) you might not miss that much
POV: you’re an Austrian soldier during the second weltkrieg and the empire is being attacked by Serbia 🔄😉🤔
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Serbians!
@@kaisercatcinemaToo many times i'll tell You that😅😅😅😅
*Alert Serbia joins the Moscow Accord* 😉😳
Reichspact takes moscow
@@ericcrabtree7075 well the moscow accord is not connected with serbia. It is not that bad
Even though it went through many hardships the Empire endured! And with Blessed Karl at the helm it will evolve into the Danubian Federation! All Hail the Habsburgs! A.E.I.O.U
This is better than most actual documentaries 😮😂😢
What do you mean actual documentaries? This series is made by real historians with the greatest care for historical accuracy. Are you one of those crazy people who keep saying Germany lost WW1 and ended up under a fascist Austrian leader?
@@kaisercatcinema Lol
@@kaisercatcinemawait, what is a fascist?
@@shedar7678some Italian intellectuals once advocated a sort of natpop ideology they called “fascism”, after the fasces, but the idea never caught on. Besides, it was totally unrealistic, any government that tried to implement it would collapse under the contradictions.
These are so awesomely made. I love the lore of this universe. Easily my favorite alt-history timeline by a long shot. Looking forward to more documentaries like this. Like what became of the Ottoman Empire, Italy, Japan, China. But mainly the US. Really looking forward to a Kaiserreich documentary about the US. Every man a king!
As a Croat, that intro brought a tear to my eye. LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
I’m onto a 1/4 of the way through currently. And yet still.
I love your guys’ work, all the people, volunteers, creatives, writers. So much talent in a such a unique space. I love reading and especially hearing these stories. There’s absolutely NOTHING else like this on CZcams with such quality.
I can only hope everyone at KaiserCat cinema keeps up the good work! ❤️
Thanks for the kind words!
Once again.
Amazing job.
One hour of lore.
Couldn’t ask for anything better today.
The Austro-Hungarian rework is much needed!
All hail the Imperial Eagle of the Habsburgs!🎉🎉🎉
with this sad ending, the start of the video is way more meaningfull.
Down with the Nobility.
Long live the Danubian Federation.
The amount of quality work you are doing is astonishing!
A hearth please! For blessed Karl and the survival of the Habsburg Empire!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fantastic intro by Kraut, and an exceptional video overall.
Your Alt history Docus I believe are the most interesting and best part of your project,
please keep it up,
they are amazing.
20:14 "Comrade Karl"
I concept of an Emperor with socialist sympathies is honestly really fascinating. It is paradoxical yet completely plausible.
Who do you think Napoleon III was?!
Napoleon III: "I am a socialist...the Bonapartist in my cabinet is *mad*".
The Japanese Socialists would recognize the emperor probably if the emperor let them win the government lol
@@brumallupine1961 I think he just lied.
At this point you're gonna end up giving us a feature length one of these
And at that point I am sure I will die deeply happy.
These documentaries always send me slamming right back into Kaiserreich to play a few...dozen games.
I mean, I would argue an hour long documentary already exceeds some of the episodes you see on the History Channel
@@kaisercatcinema Just bolt on the last 30 minutes onto the next one! I know you want to and who needs sleep anyway!/s
This is a awesome and well made documentary just like the others, much love Kaiser Cat Cinema, Looking forward to more videos ❤
Thanks!
its Habsburgin time
I approve of this morbius meme
@@kaisercatcinema🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love how no matter whether the Entente or Central Powers won WW1, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still screwed either way 😂
The ethnic tensions and weakness of the central state would have been a noose around AH's neck either way
Germany has had its time in the sun! Now it is time for some competition in the form of the United States of Greater Austria!
Long live the Hapsburgs! Love live Federalization! Long live Austria!
The USGA shall never fall! Glory to Kaiser Karl!!! Thanks for doing my favorite nation.
I've been loving the Kaiseriech world, and its been great to find an official channel! I didn't know all this existed.
Creators complain a lot about being suppressed by the algorithms, though you must admit It speaks volumes to how well CZcams is screwing us if even longtime Kaiserreich fans are only finding this channel now, after being here for like five years 😅.
I suggest signing up to my newsletter to get releases, because CZcams probably won't give you a notification. You can find it at kaisercatcinema.com/connect
I enjoy these lore videos, I hope you either do Fengtain China or Bulgaria next
Bulgaria will be covered in the next episode, KRDOC7
So cool to hear Kraut narrating the intro speech
What a great documentary. Well done to the whole team. I am in full agreement of the ending, they should be part of the kaiserreich... by force if need be.
Now this wants me to play Victoria 2 as AH
excellent documentary long live the Empire! Glory to the Habsburgs, can't wait to see a documentary about the Ottoman Empire👏👏👏❤️
Ngl, the one im most curious about is actually bulgaria.
Excellent
This was just as good as the first one guys!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I really love you guys in the Kaiser Cat Cinema, I am almost at a time to have a job, once I do - contributing to you Patreon is the first thing Ill do with my salary lol. Keep up the good work my man
Love the episode
Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze

It was awesome guys!
Yes, good to see Kaiser team trusting the right leadership in Illyria.
how is this so well done omfg
Three months of dedicated work 😁
This video is Great, like other episodes!!!
Great video!
Was just wondering if we are gonna get a video about Bulgaria in that time and how it led to the Fourth Balkan War.
Bulgaria and the Balkan wars will be touched in KRDOC7
Your best video yet
awesome vid
Of all things, I did not think Kraut would be a cameo in this!!!
What country will you be making a documentary for next? I am looking forward to the Ottoman Empire documentary!
The ottoman empire is next up, they will be covered in KRDOC7
@@kaisercatcinema Cant wait!
Switzerland would be a interesting nation to do.
I'm guessing Episode 8 would be on the US, and after that it's China and Canada(I can't tell the order).
Hope that’s not AI art but this is such an interesting documentary. The Danubian Federation is easily my second favorite nation.
Hell yeah, finally!
YES SIR
Amazing
Wonderful
I’m so excited for Austria Hungary reworks hopefully Austria gets something to do after federalizing
Me and my buddies did A whole reichspact game picking a bunch of the puppets of Germany and aligned countries. I got Austria Hungary and I listened to all of this. I was able to form Danubian Federation and go on to be the 2nd superpower in the 2nd weltzkrieg. Swinging the Italian federation and Bulgaria into Don Adribua and then entering the 2nd weltzkrieg with both in tow. Best game experience of my life. Now wish me luck in the coming war with the entente
This all felt almost completely natural. Most people would believe this is what happened if they just randomly came across it on wikipedia
A lot of people think our shorts are real I've noticed 😃
Great ending...
How unfortunate that in every game AH just joins Germany
Großartige Lore.
Love hearing Kraut! :D
Finally a know part
Fantastic Video on the Austro-Hungarian empire. What are the soundtracks being used in this documentary? If its an original soundtrack, will it be uploaded?
Most of our music comes from Epidemic Sound, a great library for creators with very affordable fees. We are planning to upload a selection of KRDOC songs as a 'classical lofi' style of video at some point in the future 😉
Uniting and making sure the Danubian Federation rise and rescuing the Kaiserreich as the Internationale and Moscow Accord slowly breach Berlin is one of the best feelings this mod can give you, by the end of the battle, Austria, no, the Danubian Federation, had it's place in the sun, as the true alternative to Syndicalism, nay, it's replacement even.
Great vídeo, do they videos of The Ottoman Empire, Italy and Bulgaria, do these three videos, it will be amazing
Long live the empire ! Long live the habsburgs !
Kaiser cat releases a new documentary: +20% stability 🤝 and 50.00 war support 💪
Big KR fan! 👍👏 excellent work y’all! Anyone know the music/track around 16:45?
I don't know our tracks by heart, but all of them are from the epidemic music library, perhaps you can find them with a Shazam?
a documentary about an alternative history of an alternative history , feels like DARK series
9:30 Hey look it's Horthy second from left!
Hello im new, do you have a playlist off this i like kaiserreeich, and austria-hungary
Wait, you got the parrot for this one? Nice.
The one and only 😁
What will the next episode be?
I was thinking the Italian states or the Chinese factions.
It will take a while as these are hour-long documentaries. We are now writing the next episode, which will be about the Ottoman Empire
@@kaisercatcinemaAwesome! Can’t wait!
Cool now all we need is an update on Austria-Hungary in game
Soon+2weeks was the official line 😉
@@kaisercatcinema
NO WAY?!?!?
Awesome!!!
Long live Emperor Karl!
Long live Austria-Hungary!!!
me encantaria uno de USA y de sur america, sois unos cracks!
es una maravilla todo este universo que han creado
Ya hay algunos videos sobre usa pero si faltan videos sobre sur america
@@Hainser me refiero a un docu
nice
I knew that voice from anywhere 😊
The music at the beginning sounds just like the eu4 soundtrack
I noticed you said in the comments here that Bulgaria will be covered in the next installment. Do you have any plans for the episodes after that?
Well continue with the middle East and Africa
@@kaisercatcinema Southeast Asia when? It's 2024, I've had so many accounts now, there is still no Philippine focus tree, no love for us Pinoy Kaiserreich fans? :(
Could you do vid about Morocco and Mittle Africa lore in kaiserreich?
For anyone wondering, Karl’s father and Franz Ferdinand’s younger brother Archduke Otto Franz died of syphilis in 1906
Dats a tasty video
Would it be possible to have a list of the music used as background in the series?
We will release it later as a lofi style video I think
Unrelated but will MacArthur/the legitmate US Gov ever get a theme? I think a rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic or Hail to the Chief, or The Army Goes Rolling Along would work well.
We need a like fully indef analysis of the story of kaiserriech
Well this doxumentary series is it, no?
I am in so in love of austria
No reforms only the protection of the unification of the empire should endure!
Then the people will rise and bring the reform in form of racial socialism.
I Would See Video About Life Of German Ocean Liners And The British Ocean Liners In Kaiserreich Timeline
Now I'm curious if we'll see a second Weltkrieg in Kaiserreich or if we'll see a Cold War in the Kaiserreich.
Since KR gas no canonical outcome of the Second Weltkrieg a Cold War would depend on who wins. If the German wins against the Syndies and Russia, maybe they have a Cold War situation with the Entente, maybe with the US, depends on what happens in the US, since the US can go in so many directions. If the Germans lose it's easy to imagine a Cold War over a divided Europe between the Syndicalists in the West and the Russian nationalists in the east (and who knows if the Entente is still around and what shape US, Japan and China are in).
Only 131k in 9 months. Something went terribly wrong
I wonder, which nation will be the focus of the next Kaiserreich documentary?
apparently the ottomans
Ottoman empire!
Didn’t there used to be a opening short or trailer that was released before this came out?
I asked because I wanted to find it and I can’t
we usually make trailers to announce release dates, and put them as Unlisted videos afterwards. Here is the original trailer: czcams.com/video/SCXVsvOAXdg/video.html
@@kaisercatcinema
Thank you
There is one thing I dislike is that Habsburgs having the capacity to act mostly independent of Berlin. In the later stages of Weltkrieg, AH practically became Germany's puppet state. I can hardly believe the Dual Monarchy would prefer/can act independently after the war considering their empire would be a cornerstone for the post war European order. What I can imagine is that Germany and AH would be like two inseperable great powers in the world stage that stand together to make sure their European Order wouldn't collapse. Just like EU being built upon cordial partnership of Germans and French after the ww2, Germans and AH would also have inseperable and cordial relationship and would need eachother to keep their European order in check.
To elaborate a little further, AH would be in Reichspakt from the beginning of the game and once another great war starts, they would immediately join it. Also Germans would be far more active in AH's Balkan affairs or it's civil wars because they are two great empires that fundamentally need eachother.
I believe some of that is a conceit for the sake of gameplay. If AH was locked in with Germany, you basically have a playable German puppet. AH stil aligns with Germany in all AI paths, players get a little more options
@@kaisercatcinema I get it, it is more based on gameplay necessities otherwise Reichspakt would be too op and steamroll its enemies. I also respect that you chose to make AH more independent instead of making Reichspakt weaker for no reason. But my point still stands, the two Empires would be closely linked with eachother and probably Germans would see AH's wars with itself and in Balkans as a way to kickstart it's military complex. It would be like warm up for them before the big wars hit but thats still my idea. Overall I respect your choices in such a world.
Also I believe if the two empires could interact with eachother more in the game like in a flavour way etc, it would be better.
A successful weltkrieg would mean that AH has to be competent enough to be able to stay independent as this would allow the Kaiserreich to actually have the resources to send it all towards the Entente.
AH then would not be too fond of Germany to be considered as a junior partner in an alliance of supposed equals. The Kaiserreich would ride the high of the victory in the Weltkrieg and see "Comrade" Karl to be someone that they shouldn't be too close with.
@@mosesracal6758 Except it doesnt. AH being more competent is one thing but post war they would need eachother more than anything. Because in Kaiserreich lore, Weltkrieg still takes years and its a bloody affair. Even in a case of victory, we would see Central Powers almost starved and in dire need of rebuilding. AH and Germany would be even closer than they were pre war. Also even if AH being more competent, they would still suck at war and Germany would still have to save AH from collapse. So still many things about their power dynamics would remain the same because even in a victory, war still plays out similiarly just that central powers win in the end.
8:03 seems about right
