ITT: Veeky Forums wakes up in Kaiserreich 1936

TLDR: Germans won WW1, France and Britain are commies, Amerimutts about to enter civil war, etc

>>>/gsg/

take a boat to Georgia and get ready to join the AUS

Why is the fondness for Kaiserreich directly correlated with the worst redditors on Veeky Forums?

Because it's for HoI4 now, there used to be a pretentious elitism about playing Darkest Hour but that's gone now and replaced with plebs

Because redditors never actually read any history and thus are introduced to all the interesting historical figures like Huey Long through that trash, and therefore retain loyalty to it despite it being objectively garbage.

Why is it garbage?

All alt history is garbage.

Fuck you, mine is good.

>America is about to enter a civil war
Fucking how and why?

Didnt enter WW1, industrialized victorious Germany replaced it as the dominant economy when it gained control of British and French colonies, Great Depression started in 1925 because no war mobilization or dominant trade position, the depression + the success of communist revolution in Britian, France, and Mexico leads american industrial workers, especially in the rust belt, to grow increasingly radical and find sympathies and loyalty among US military leaders like Smedley Butler.

Its not terribly realistic obviously but its neat.

This is how europe looks like btw

Exactly this. 99% of althistory cannot into butterfly effect.

Is Iceland danish?

Yes, because of this the british government exiled in Canada can demand Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe islands to get closer to syndicalist britain

>independent Sicilia
Fuck off

Italy was dismantled for betraying the central powers, so Two Sicilies returned with the Papal States as ally, then the northen italian states became the Socialist Republic and the austrian-controlled Republic of Italy.

I'll bite but only because of those trips.

Wait isn't the south Syndicalist? North is an union of small states,duchies and such

It got changed because it didnt make sense that the more conservative and agrarian south became socialist rather than the more industrial north.

I immediatly move to the Austrian-controlled Italian Republic, so i'm not ruled by T*gliatti

Take a ship to Britain. Start fighting to free them.

Im already home, defend Philadelphia and the glorious syndicalist revolution from the capitalist dogs to the west and the north, hopefully we can ally with sempai huey long

Pure garbage

>Ohio
>wtf my neighbors are all communists now
I guess I'm going with Dugout Doug? I don't really want to be shooting my fellow statesmen though

I never understood how Germany winning WWI would have made America break out into a civil war. Makes no sense.

Live in my comfy New England Republic Independent of all those other American swine like we should have back in 1812. We're better off without you all.

epic response, upvoted XDDD

Read the thread faggot.

>wake up
>Islam still exists

the great depression wouldn't have happened the same way if germany won ww1

I fight in the Spanish Civil War because I'm an asSpaniard

It doesnt in Kaserreich, it starts around 25 under different circumstances because the US trade partners Britian and France turn communist and the US is in competition with European industry and trade supplemented by colonial resources instead of on good terms with it as in our timeline.

True there is the still the Berlin Stock Market crash in kaserreich that happens in like 38 but I dont think its ridiculous to think something like the depression in our timeline was likely after any outcome of WW1.

Not defending the realism of kaserreich to be clear, of course it's fantasy, but it's not as ridiculous or sloppy as some people are suggesting

Also the accusations of it being commie propaganda is dumb since Oswald Mosley and Mussolini are both leftists in the game, which to me proves that theyre not trying to make the factions or their leaders put ideology above the opportunistic realities of politics and history, i.e. if Mosley can be a commie in the game and a fascist in reality, Stalin/Lenin/Mao were not inevitably just good smart guys who really believed in communism and were at absolute best well intentioned but opportunistic like all leaders and more likely complicated non-benevolent figures

I mostly played DH Kaiserreich and I remember the Syndicalists being in the south. Is the HOI4 mod any good?

Much better than vanilla HOI4 but thats not saying much. I played DH and also enjoy the HOI4 mod tho, they have put an impressive amount of work into it.

>gained control of British and French colonies
how the fuck
I can see French colonies if they occupied France, but British colonies? How would they enforce those terms?

why did Britain and France become communist when they were among the least likely nations to do that?

Go to Ireland. KR Ireland is so good.

Ride my magnificent steed to Mongolia to serve the Khan

Pray for the arrival of direct rule

Not all of them senpai, just African ones, sorry shouldve been more clear. India, Australia etc are all playable independent nations

>stuck with a bunch of commies
fucking CHICAGOOOO
Market liberalism best ideology

How could they even claim control of the African ones though? I could see them getting the French and Belgian colonies due to occupation of those countries but what fleet and manpower do they use to take over the British ones?

Why the fuck is the Austrian Empire so small if they won the war?

They were on the winning side, I don't think even alt-history could make Von Holtzendorf a good general

the Empire federalizes into autonomous principalities

Given that the entire reason Austria started the war was to crush Serbian nationalism, the idea that they'd allow an independent Serbia to exist in a victorious aftermath seems quite a stretch.

They didn't "allow" it as such, it was a fait accompli when the Croats and Bosniaks revolted after the war and the Austrians got redeployed, it's still pretty dumb

>He doesn't know how to avoid the civil war
Fuckign pleb, i bet you dream with MacArthur shoving his pipe up your ass.

IIRC they could simply march in with the fall of Britain to revolutionaries, I'm sure soldiers would prefer handing over a couple thousand kilometres of jungle than starve.

They didn't took over the "actual" colonies with large white populations, just shitholes no one cares about like Malaysia, New Guinea, two thirds of Africa, etc.

>shitholes no one cares about like Malaysia
>Malaysia
It's probably the most important colony in the far east, Singapore and the straights of Malacca aren't a meme

Next update will be neat af.
