With the support of the United States lead by the "Bull Moose Party" candidate Theodore Roosevelt, the Western Powers of France, Britain and Italy were able to overcome the might of the Kaiser's seemingly unstoppable armies. Now, in a Europe torn between ideological fault lines, a Great War seems inevitable, in a Europe split in two.įührerreich is a double-blind alternative history scenario from the perspective of the world of Kaiserreich in which the German Empire lost the First World War to the Entente. The revolutionaries vowed to spread the once extinguished ideals of the Enlightenment across Europe and the world.
Before them, Britain had transitioned into a liberal republic in the 1860s, reforming its Empire into a visionary Commonwealth. However, the old order shall soon tremble - with Berlin erupting into a popular revolt, Prussia became a republic by 1880. Through oppression of the masses and suppression of the intellectuals, the absolutist monarchs of Ancien Europe cement their grip on power throughout the 19th century.
Its flames of liberté, égalité, fraternité never cut across Europe and the liberal thought of the Enlightenment is in time overshadowed by the continued hegemony of the Church and the Divine Right. In this alternate history timeline the French Revolution is narrowly avoided through the combination of wiser policy directions, a tougher stance on governance and a little stroke of luck.
