Thanks. Enjoyed. Done now. Actually, Didn't went to sleep before I finished.Kacko, I hope you are enjoying the TL. I believe on the more current maps the Ruthenian territories were annexed by Russia along with the rest of Galicia. If not can someone fix the map? Cheers!
Maybe some kind of small anti-monarchist party.
There was also a Catholic Party and you could add an agrarian party, maybe a Liberal Party
Perhaps Social Democrat Party and Conservative Party. These faction were quiet popular in OTL Prussia on 1860's and soon after unification of Germany.
Hmm. Makes me wonder if the Polish independence movement might become a problem for Germany as we move into the '50s and '60s.
A question for you the readers. What do you think the political future of Ireland should be? Currently the Catholic portions of the island are in the self-governing Dominion of Ireland while the protestant north is a part of the United Kingdom. Should Catholic Ireland remain as it is, declare itself a republic, or something else?
Well, it all really depends on how the island's history has played out, I think. IOTL the treaty with Britain led to a brief yet bloody civil war, and political life became polarised along the lines of pro-treaty versus anti-treaty forces. The pro-treaty forces, what became the Fine Gael party, was more right-wing (the movement initially had fascist overtones) but also less scrupulous in its stance on compromise with the Crown, whereas the anti-treaty forces (the Fianna Fàil and the Sinn Fein) were more radical, often had a republican bent and wanted to unify the island under a single republican government. Since it seems like the Irish got a better settlement ITTL, I could imagine that this would stymie the republicans somewhat compared to OTL. We might see a more traditional left-right spectrum emerging in Ireland - without the Civil War divisions dominating Irish politics, economics would probably be the main dividing line. We see this a bit IOTL, with Labour being a leftist Fine Gael offshoot, and Fianna Fàil being a more conservative and pro-clerical faction of Sinn Fein that broke off and grew to become Ireland's majority party for a long time (these parties tend to cooperate along the Civil War dividers, though).
Interesting developments. How long did the SPD rule in Germany? Has a welfare state of some kind been formed in Germany?
Interesting points, so overall you think Ireland is more likely to remain a Dominion than turn into Republic or is it up in the air?
The Social Democrats, have ruled on and off again in Prussia, and Germany since the 19th Century. Their chief rival are the Conservatives. There is a level of welfare state in Germany but not as much as OTL. Overall Germany is a much more conservative place that OTL's current Germany.
