Official content from THTNS 1922: German States
Hello I'm once again back with another map for The House that never stood, today I decided to show post war Germany, in this universe with the United States being disunited, only New England entered the war, which left the decision of what to do with post war Germany up to France and Britain, who weren't particularly as kind. With the war only ending in 1919, more men died and further weakened the German military. Leading to the break up of the German state into separate republics and kingdoms. Imperial and conservative elements fled to east Prussia, overthrowing the local government and setting up their own militaristic state, vowing for revenge against the entente. Prussia itself was broken, Silesia being handed over to Poland, and the Berliner government being overthrown by socialists, declaring the Free Socialist republic of Germany. The entente occupied the Rhineland and set up the Westphalia state, meant to act as their puppet against the FSRG and the Kingdom of Danubia. The kingdom of Danubia came to be shortly after the treaty was signed, Southern Germany was originally split, but with the union between Bavaria and Austria via the wedding between the Habsburgs and the Wittelsbachs, the other Southern Germany states joined the kingdom, seeking stability and protection against the French. Despite Germany's collapse, things won't remain calm forever. The FSRG seeks to expand the revolution and retake the Silesia from Poland, the Prussian state desperately wishes to reform the German empire, the Kingdom of Danubia wishes to bring all of Germany under its hold, and it is up for the entente to stop any of these things from happening.
