Backstory
The German Empire. A name that defines power and prestige the world over. Even in the shadows of the defeat suffered in 1918, the Empire continued on with the Kaiser refusing to abdicate. Then in the 1930’s Hitler rose to power, though he became Reichskanzler he never would take the mantle of Fuehrer, contained by the Kaiser’s authority. The SS turned from his henchmen into loyalists of the Kaiser by the 1940’s as the real-life National Socialist Workers Party morphed into a pro-monarchist and pro-nationalist front. Hitler would conduct his peaceful expansion by Anschluss of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Memel. In 1939 war came once more; except, not from Germany. But from the Soviet Union. Stalin invaded Poland on September 22nd, 1939 in revenge for the Russian defeat during the Polish Independence War in the immediate aftermath of the Great War. Ceasing this moral high ground and support of the French and British in regards to Polish nationality. An Alliance of British, German, and French armies pushed the Soviets back and inflicted a stinging defeat of Stalin.
Following this Germany regains its pre-WW1 territory in the East and the rest of Poland is used to create a puppet state of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Soviet Union withdraws into itself facing turmoil from its devastating defeat. The British Empire starts to decay however the German’s retain control of their possessions through the creation of a Federation of territories much akin to the later British Commonwealth. The only real difference being more invested authority in the government back in Berlin. This more equalized footing, however, does prevent the large scale independence movements that would plague the British, French, Portuguese, and Dutch Empires during the second half of the 20th century.
The US grows in power following a successful war against Japan following the latter's attack on Pearl Harbor in response to an oil embargo placed on it by the USA. Now, decades later in the year 2020, during a flight from Stuttgart to Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm IV and his wife, Anna, died in a horrific airplane crash in the middle of the night. Thus leaving their 20-year-old daughter to rule the Empire and their 18-year-old son rattled and confused along with a whole court now finding themselves under the control of an untested leader.
