Will look what Hitler did with Poland. The regime he put in there claimed to be democratic, and yet still arrested many priests pretending they were “Socialists”. That’s the main reason the regime would eventually dissolve
Ah, right you are. Though in fairness the priests in France would be intrinsic to any client theocracy. Though they’d likely arrest dissenters claiming they were heretics.

Honestly the biggest question would be how long it would last against a revitalised Britain and a post depression USA. FDR has been called a Ceasar, but Augustus fits better. He led the nation with a firm hand of steel, but cooperated with the constitution and proved a marvellous commander in chief when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. I don’t doubt militarily Crusader France could hold off one or the other, but in the 30s and 40s, War with Britain was war with America and vice versa.
 
It is one person called Eugene Debs, an american. I am sure @Red Arturoist can tell us more?
I’ve actually done some research (skimmed Wikipedia) since this, and with Debs as President, it would quite possibly take the assault of an American city to get us into ww1. The war was so bad that if you didn’t want to get involved, it took another declaration of war to get you involved, you didn’t just do it-Wilson didn’t want to get involved with the conflict because doing so could’ve undermined his mediation goals, Debs just didn’t want to.

A Debs presidency would likely put more fault on Germany, yeah, but he would immediately pull us back to isolationism while improving workers rights and aiming for self sufficiency, leaving it to a struggling to maintain hegemony and a France that likely would’ve turned into a crusader state and caused massive revolt in the colonies-basically, the treaty wouldn’t matter anyway except for border changes. Hell, Debs might’ve funded the Irish Rebellion and helped reform Germany into a much more stable social democracy, preventing the Hitlerian Moderate Dictatorship anyway. Hitler being a fascist relies squarely on a stronger Britain and France who aren’t too tired to be angry
 
Wait your right
I was thinking of Strasser
Wait didn't Strasser later become friends with Hitler or something
Also, she wasn't Jewish, she was Lithuanian though.
Like Scorpio Retender said earlier, Hitler did not denounce his anti-semitism until he was much older.

Yeah, Hitler did a thing for tall blue-eyed blondes. That might explain why he married that Lithuanian woman.
 
This is all assuming Hitler would have won the election. For some reason, Fascism only ever seemed to take over in countries that speak Romance languages. I don't know if it's a cultural thing? Italy, Spain, Portugal, and to a lesser extant France and Cuba. And in more recent history, it looks like they very well might win the election in Romania. Of course, there's a Fascist running in Kurdistan too, but naturally I'm hoping he won't prove me wrong.

I don't know if i'd call French or Portuguese Crusadism 'fascist.' Fascist is one man in charge of a nation and the nation came before anything. Crusadism was a violent, expansionist movement for the spread of christianity-the nation and its people were nothing but tools to this end, and Crusadism generally held tolerance for christianized cultures and held elections for the HoS, none of which is true of any fascist power.


(OOC: is it cool if i post a map i made to this thread? First DB i've really dealt with and its not my thread)
 
Damn! The Holstein revolt was still going on in '25? I did not know that...
The revolt was actually ethnic violence, tragically. It was released as a sovereign state at Versailles with a planned referendum for unity with Denmark in 30, and the Danes wanted to verify that they got what they wanted-danish Holstein. Germans were persecuted and assaulted until 70% of them left the tiny country. The germania-pakt was naturally rather un popular there
 
Well WW2 would probably have done far more damage too France rather than Eastern Europe and Germany (through the bombing campaigns), much like in the first world war, since a Facist Hitler likely would have needed too invade them at some point, and since a Facist expansionist Hitler would likey be on the offensive rather than the defensive, and thus Germany itself would suffer less damage as a result.
