Die Alte Welt Hat Überlebt- A Central Powers Victory Collaborative Timeline

I think it more depends on whether we go in for World War II and the ideas involvng fascism, or not.

Thank you so much! And the answer to your question is yes by the way.

Not necessarily in its entirety, though its influence should show

Possibly, if the Ghadar mutiny succeeds, though I doubt the reds could hold all of India
It’s a bit cliched but ok
Not just "Britain goes fascist", but I would love to explore the possibility of a World War II in a *Kaiserreich-like/CP Victory universe. I would roughly say:
- Germany - (communist?) USA - Red France - Benelux - Eastern Europe - Georgia/Armenia
- vs. Imperial Federation - Serbia - Greece - Russia - Portugal - maybe a "Blue France"?
EDIT: Most of these *Axis powers could be controlled or even defeated, but there won't be total CP/*Allied victory as in OTL. Britain remains and still is fascist (because Operation Seelöwe is just as implausible here as in OTL or any other TL), but lost Canada and much of the Empire.
This is a really interesting concept you have here, so I thought I might add a few suggestions of my own:
-Poland is a German ally/puppet, that is expanded further to the east to act as a buffer between Germany and Russia.
-Ireland quickly recovers from the war, thanks to CP backing, and soon becomes an economic powerhouse in the British Isles, as the UK struggles with colonial wars and reparations, possibly leading to the rise of Fascism in Britain.
-After WWII, Germany liberalized, and possibly becomes a Republic

That's a natural development. Maybe, Germany even supports the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or the Miedzymorze idea?
A Republic I don't think, but liberalise it will!
I’d suggest giving at least Luxembourg to the German Empire, considering that it is more or less a leftover German minor state. Otherwise, the colors look pretty good.
Perhaps a limited monarchy like Britain?
I don't think that they would allow Poland and Lithuania to reunite, because of German claims in the Baltic. But certainly trying to expand into the east, in Belarus and the Ukraine, would probably be supported.
That is what I am thinking of anyway. Maybe with a bit more power for the Kaiser though.
@Drex , may I - as a proposal - reuse the lovely and extremely well-made borders of your map in the last (or second-to-last?) map thread? The ones I used for my own project (which never got too far)?
An interesting thing to consider would maybe be having a second German constitutional convention or something. After all, the Kaiser was such an essential part of the original German Imperial constitution that any figurehead position would be a massive political change. If we wanted to keep a German colonial empire intact, maybe a new German constitution could be an excuse to create a German Imperial Federation?
