Europe 1917 – Kaiserreich (Rebirthed)
Kaiserreich is set in an alternate timeline where the Central Powers won World War I by 1919,[2] with the map’s start date being 1920. The Central Powers victory leads to numerous changes from the real world’s political landscape, with every country and region being impacted and having altered history. The mod gradually leads to the onset of a fictional version of World War II, altered by the mod’s lore as well as player action. The game’s story and outcomes typically change between playthroughs, often having minor to major differences.
In the map, the German Empire serves as the leading power of Europe, operating a number of client states in the eastern part of the continent, a large African colony named "Mittelafrika", and numerous colonies in Southeast Asia, all of which are united under a single alliance known as the "Reichspakt". Meanwhile, the other major Central Power, Austria-Hungary, manages to survive outside of Germany’s sphere of influence and undergoes a consolidation into one government. After their defeat in the First World War, revolutions overthrow the governments of Great Britain, France, and northern Italy, which adopt various forms of syndicalism as their ideology, forming an alliance known as the Third Internationale. Their former governments are exiled, but continue to maintain the Entente, and aim to retake their homelands and colonies. Additionally, several nations experience internal unrest after the war, with the United States, Spain, and Argentina eventually falling into civil wars, and independence movements beginning in several colonies and client states.
In addition to the alternations of borders and diplomacy, Kaiserreich features alternations from the real world’s political ideologies, featuring custom ideologies that combine many ideals from several nations into one, and not having the traditional concept of ideologies like communism and fascism. An example of these new ideologies is "Totalism" (short for "Totalitarian Socialism"), an ideology structured similarly to Stalinism that attracts figures that would have been otherwise considered fascist, as well as the aforementioned replacement of traditional communism with syndicalism, which starts in Western Europe instead of Eastern Europe. Also, the Russian Revolutionary War started back in 1919, and is still going on. This mod came from the mod in Hearts of Iron IV, if you have Hearts of Iron IV, I suggest getting the mod and playing it! Also, I’ll be adding a full map version of Kaiserreich! So stay tuned. Hope you enjoy the map!
