We also have Lithuania...no, no Kaunas (are later) and of course no Memel.
Wtf, if not even Kaunas is in Lithuania, then what is?!

Then we have adorable United Baltic Duchy, as per OTL, ruled as per OTL by Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (it will cede some token border territory in Latvia to Russia, see later)
The United Baltic Duchy was never founded in OTL, so I don't see how it is anything like OTL. Or do you mean that it doesn't exist in this TL? Because then it would be like OTL.

Hello...sorry for late reply, but I was unjustly kicked one week for having said that the worst timeline in history is...well the worst timeline in history.
Btw, to answer your question...mmm...Lithuania with Kaunas makes border gore...about United Baltic Duchy, I meant that it will be as planned OTL :)
 
My dear minions, tomorrow I will be back from vacations and therefore I will finally have a proper keyboard at my disposal (yeah, texting with the smartphone stresses me too much)
I am going to promptly post the long awaited update on Germany tomorrow, then

A Lithuania without Kaunas makes bordergore.
 
PS a few clarifications:
A) sorry for so many spelling mistakes, but the useless corrector in my phone desperately tries to convert each and every word to italian
B) In a previous post I unwillingly wrote in such a way that it looked like I said Poland is not a slavic country...of course it is

So, Part 6: Europe in 1924, part 1
So peace happened. Ler'a check the details;
A)the Balkans; after versailles the new Austria leadership in Germany agrees to White peace with Serbia, greece and Romania; Bulgaria will return serbian territory bit will keep romanian Dobrudja ad compensation. Italy, with bad gained some territory after Vittorio Veneto, will be Awards Trento, Triest and Istria, but not South Tyrol (go with mauled victory rethorics here).
Soon after augsleich negotiations are called (they were delayed in 1917). Hungarians representatives historically opt for independence, faced with the giant boom in german population within the union wich renders them second tier...well bad choice: as soon as the hubgarians joyfully proclaim their indipendence, revitalised Serbia and Romania, supported by Italy and Slovakian rebels assail the country and tear it into pieces in a matter of weeks; after the following peace treaty, Hungary is reduced to the equivalent of OTL post-first Vienna award borders (the germans will mediate for Slovakian indipendence.
Serbia gains Vojvodina and Bosnia, bit not Slovenia (err, I meant the duchy of Carniola, still Austria/german) nor Croatia, with becomes an indipendent state with strong ties to Habsburg Germany.
Romania gains the Banat and Transylvania.
Hungary becomes a disgruntled dictatorship ruled by Admiral Horthy.
Bulgaria without Macedonia ?:mad:
 
Germany, Germany, Germany...what might we say about Deutschland? Was it a winner or a loser? It depends on the point of view: from an asutrian perspective they are big winners: they traded backward and unstable historical danubian empire for equally historical Holy Roman...ahem, I meant German empire; a prosperous, powerful, ethnically homogeneous state (well, if you exclude Bohemia, wich by the way was half-geman by the time).
From a wider, german perspective, well Germany lost a few non-core terriotries, but it gained Austria, Bohemia and a large leeway in the east.
Postwar will be a delicate time for Germany as for any other state; kaiser Karl and his establishment will be busy on many fronts: consolidating their rule, first of all: this will be a proiblem just in former Prussia, and not so much there, also; after all ,the Hohenzollerns are despised now (even tough Wilhelm III will be left in palce as king of Prussia), the southern, catholic states are much more akin to Asutria than to Prussia, and the westerners in Rheinland and Westphalia, were notthat totalkly fond of Prussians either...regarding Saxony, well the state had been swmnging back and from from Austria to Prussia and the other way around for centuries.
By the way, a large internal reorganization of the Empire will take place, with the precise intent, on behalf of Karl to weaken Prussia.
Austria will regain Silesia, Rheinland and Westphalia,while Hannover will be restored; Prussia will also lose Posenland and Hinterpommern to Poland.
the flag of the empire will be a modified version of the 1848 tricolour, with the Habsburg insignia upon it.
For the rest, apart from superficial changes, karl will leave the fundamental structure of the previous prussian-led empire untouched, apart from moving core institutions from Berlin to Vienna.

Next update, economics, and military stuff about germany
Stay tuned
 
Ps: "what might we say about Deutschland? Was it a winner or a loser?"
Of course the question is rethorical...truth is that under the surface, this Germany is a winner, tough western powers will say otherwsise to the point of believing their own lies
