@@wampower6848 no. It ended June 28, 1919 with the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was reduced to the strength to a child. Reparations were so heavy it sapped the postwar economy to modern day Venezuela. They may have stared across the channel with hate, but the power balance was far from equal in the twenties. Meanwhile Britain pissed us off by not wanting to pay us back for the money and equipment we sent. They were slow about it.
It was also one of the best Nations ever seen on this world ans was brought down with the entire might of the world out of jealousy. They dug their own graves they are now trying to escape from.
@@me67galaxylife the reason brittain and france banded together and guaranteed belgium, was because of jealousy of the power balance on the continent shifting to germany.
WWI Germany isn't a fascist state. It was an imperialist one and not even a long time one. Germany's Ambitions were to become an Colonial Empire, while France was vengeful, and Britian was acting to contain a potential rival.
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.
The Kaiserreich mod is at this point more well-polished than the base game. Hell, more countries have focus trees etc, there's enough political ideologies to somewhat accurately simulate politics and I personally prefer the artwork too.

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.
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.
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.
The moral boost of knowing the Americans were on the entente side was crucial to the crumbling French army. Additionally, having a formal declaration meant the USA could flood the front with fresh supplies and alleviate the food shortages that were rampant during the end of the war.

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.
Who else desperately wants a Kaiserreich tv series It should be like Fall of Eagles, in which the episodes follow historical figures like the monarchs of europe, and the politicians surrounding them.

@HulaWars why
@@cypress7792 Shut up. Capitalism best.
From the bottom of my german heart: I thank you for this excellent episode. Everything was perfect, the theme in the background, the pronounciations, the script, the story alone, the pictures and video materials used. It let my german heart beat with joy. I thank you, Templin Institute.
Because nothing says glory like losing and hearing satire facts lol
@@altereddrake You don't know what this is? It's the telling of how a mod for Hearts of Iron 4 came to be, that background history in that alternative timeline from WW1 to 1936 where HoI4 is set to start.
Prosperous economy, powerful military, constitutional monarchy with representation for most political persuasions. Germany stands strong over Europe, and not a swastika in sight. God Kaiserreich is so in depth and awesome.
theres still colonialism and monarchies though. monarchies can sort of be explained away with regards to the setting, but colonialism is just immoral.
@@jenshep1720 well in today's standards it is but in the past it ain't so go learn and stop comparing today's standards to the past because that is immoral
@@天子-Ren idk I think that kind of thinking kind of excuses a lot of mistakes from past times, especially ones that have become systemic and still has effects nowadays like how large and irresponsible the police has become
@@ArcturusOTE yeah excuses
@@天子-Ren that video is positing an alternate reality of our own timeline where these things never vanished. that entire universe is a wishlist for all western totalitarian ideologies we are dealing with right now. and especially the fact that colonialism is treated as a good thing here is just a really bad take, because to this day there still hasnt been any meaningful official memorial culture for the victims of colonialism in many western countries, and especially germany. especially when compared to what is being done with regards to remembering the holocaust. and finally: this alternate reality was created by people from our own time. its one thing to look back at the past and say: "this was just the zeitgeist, we cant measure it by todays standards", but its another thing if someone from today creates a popoular franchise which endorses specfically what happened in the past. get it now?
To the German Empire, pushing better technology faster and becoming a superpower.
Until the Communard throws every at them and Russia steals their eastern territories. Sad Kaiser noises
@@johndanes2294 that will not happen. The German Empire shall survive.
@@doom7ish Then its usually the Entente ganging up on them with their friend McArthur. Either way Germany is usually ganged up on.
Wouldn't have Rockets and Turbines without Germany
@@johndanes2294 the syndies have no adptabilty. they have numbers and creative tactics. that fun. but a disunited army aint gonne win this war. also kerensky is gonne have his hads full even putting an alliance togetter. even if he unites them today russia isnt ready til 1946
Templin:makes video of german empire
me:HAPPY GERMAN NOISES
Zalek Voris alternate history but still a great video
Hallo! Guten tag German brother!
@@theyfw_ash silence, you syrupy ball

It's ironic if kaiserreich happens
Prussia used to be a backwater state
Prussia used to be just a normal monastic order on the Baltic
And then it rose up to become a world power
"Damn Anarchists always backstabbing our revolution! This is why we lost Spain to the fascists!"
-Communists in this timeline
i would argue its the other way around,or with 'this' do you mean the timeline of the video?
"Syndicalists"
@@Sonji_S the joke is that anarchists in our timeline are always, with a degree of reason, blaming communists for backstabbing them during revolution. But in this timeline its the other way around if Syndaclism is the new Red Scare instead of Communism
@@sparrow7625 Yes.
@@lekylee oh okay, just wanted to be sure, i have seen it be te other way around too
*Sigh* It's time to start up Hoi4: Kaiserreaich again, I suppose.
Ah,shit here we go... Again.
As a German, Iam very pleased to see this. Wunderbar!
Nice! Just curious, are most Germans today proud of their country? Or are they against having pride in their nation?
@@999Claymore unfortunatly many dont have pride for our nation, because of the nazi periode. Thats why many things are very strict in this regards. The german empire often gets a badlight because of the nazi reich, even this two things are not even close the same thing
@@999Claymore There are maybe 14-15% of germans proud about their nation, the rest votes legacy parties who want to destroy this nation and create a paneuropean EU.
@@KubusSc7 So pretty much what the Kaiserreich also planned to do? 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.
@@Exodon2020 You have no idea what fascism is, lol.
Who else desperately wants a Kaiserreich tv series
It should be like Fall of Eagles, in which the episodes follow historical figures like the monarchs of europe, and the politicians surrounding them.
The first few episodes can detail Germany's rise and victory in WWI, and the fallout afterwards.
The next season can start in 1936... (and I'll let you guys fill in the blanks)
Es braust ein Ruf wie Donnerhall
zum Rhein, zum Rhein, zum deutschen Rhein!
Wer will des stromes hüter sein
Lieb Vaterland magst ruhig sein
Durch hundertausend, zuckt es schnell
Und alle Augen blitzen hell
I legit though this was a real history video until it said Germany took Paris.
😂😂
Bismarck, just saying.
Sounds like the pre history of terra and the emperor of mankind
And the UK using submarines in solace when they were used exclusively as escorts at the time lol
@@inceptiongamer1163 I legit get that vibe while the narrator stating the German Empire greatness at the end of video
Me too. I mean, why would a channel on investigating alternate histories and worlds NOT talk about the politics or 1920s Germany???
0:05 "You and Samantha were part of a field expedition last year through 4076..."
Some behind the scenes shenanigans?

Never thought of nor expected a video dedicated on the universe of Kaiserreich from the Templin Institute, perhaps a follow-up video on the Union of Britain or the Commune of France next?

Breack the chains
as a german native speaker i have to say that i am quite impressed that your prenounciation of the german words in this video is spot on, i dont see that on many Channels .
This is brilliant. Speaking of Empires, you should do the Holy Britannian Empire from the hit Code Geass series.
Hail Britannia!!!
All Hail Lelouch!
All Hail Britannia!
"Code geass"?, thats weebshit right??...
Yeah its weebshit!...., go away weeb

Nah, really the only other video they should do is on the six 2nd US Civil War Factions
At the very least, Canada and the Commune of France get their own videos.

For those confuzed, this is an alt-history scenario of a mod for the game Hearts of Iron 4.
Please do one for *The Black Knights from Code Geass* or for *The Holy Britannia Empire* .
They're both so interesting and unique they just need to get their time in the Templin Light.
Also, Kaiserreich has such a detailed backstory it confuses me why it's not turned into a book series.
Its to fucking wide.
You need like 15 main chakters
Chinese cival war
Austrelia
Indian conflict.
Russian politics
The second arab revolt to the turk.
Austian politics.
Italian conflict.
Germany.
Multiple in america.
On in the entente.
Maybe one in the internationale.
South africa.
Brazil and argentina.
YES! More alt history nations, please.
I love that you're doing HOI4 mods! I'd love to see The New Order: Last Days of Europe next!
TNO's still in developement, but even the Demo they have is rich in lore and atmosphere, maybe even surpassing Kaiserreich's worldbuilding depth.
Some suggestions for alt history entries:
- Holy Britannia Empire (Code Geass)
- Dossier: Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)
- Audio Log: The Confederacy (Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory Saga)
- GDI (Command and Conquer)
- Empire of the Rising Sun (Command and Conquer: Red Alert)
- The Superman Regime (Injustice: Gods Among Us)
- HiCom: The Alien War (Independence Day)
- Dossier: Lord Drakkon (Power Rangers)
Other suggestions for the Templin Institute:
- Galactic Kaiserreich (Legend of the Galactic Heroes)
- Dossier: Tanya von Degurechaff (Saga of Tanya the Evil)
- Belka (Ace Combat)
- Principality of Zeon (Mobile Suit Gundam)
- Millennium Organization (Hellsing)
This is an epic Kaiserreich gamer moment
I absolutely adore this video. This video got me into Kaiserreich. I would love to see more countries from that universe expanded upon in future template videos if at all possible
9:07 I just realized they are going over the different doctrine choices in Hoi4
I play Kaiserreich/Kaiserredux all the time! So fascinated about the history of this alternate timeline!
It's nice to see Germany in an alternate history scenario that doesn't involve the Nazis
You need to do a vid on the Second American Civil War in the Kaiserriech universe.
10:18
That was a beautiful painting of Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.
Somehow I get all chocked up when she says "guard the balance, guard the Kaisereich!" beautiful!
“Guard the Balance. Guard the Kaiserreich.” Chills.
I guess you could say
"Bismarck have a plan. Bismarck always have a plan" xD
"Great War" I get that this is a nitpick, but in universe it's called the Weltkrieg
The fact that this mod got big enough to warrant a Templin video really blows me away. The creators are probably right chuffed right now.
I hope you and the Kaiserriech team can continue to collaborate, this was a great video that I think can become a series, helping Kaiserriech’s slow video release schedule and keep you guys busy for a while.
So will there be a video on "Fuhrerreich: Legacy of the Great War" as well?
What a childish fantasy...
What a childish fantasy...
Churchill and his crazy fantasies. Rather read "Unser Kampf", a true bestseller, it even get's a movie in cinema!
Sounds like a childish fantasy to me
What? Those little stupid alt-history book of these Galipoli guy?
The poor students that stumble upon this video for their exam
Poor me
FOR THE AUS! FOR HUEY LONG! EVERY MAN A KING! BUT NONE WEAR A CROWN!
Best thing that happens in this timeline is the fact good old Hitler died fighting in the German intervention of the Russisn civil war, Himmler's running a chicken farm implied to be Kaiserreichverse's KFC, Trotsky's penguin army in Antartica and Soviet anime
Yes, the last one actually happens before they retconned it in the new updates. Also Mussolini being a train man and Ghandi leading the Bharatiya Commune.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do 3 videos: one on the Confederate States of America in Harry Turtledove’s Southern Victory 10 part book series; one on the German Empire in the same series; and finally, one on the United States of America in the same.

I know the knack of Templin, so I was confused to find an actual real Empire and thought "hm, cool, so they are doing history pieces aswell now?"
And then got super confused at some of the early history facts, such as the great war taking 8 years...
"Hang on, is this some alternate history german empire?"
Yes...yes it is.
Great work.
This the same people who talked about Resistance for PS3. Love these guys. Good work.
8 years?
tens of millions of deaths?
central powers victorious?
oh wait. it's for the Kaiserreich mod.
