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

[Deleted member 107125]

No, a Socialist Japan is unlikely. My Korean civil war idea is, by the way (if someone could make an Infobox of this, it would be appreciated)

• The Monarchists, led by Lee Beom-seok and Prince Yi Kang, rule the Southwestern coast
• Anarchists, led by Kim Chwa- Chin
• Nationalists, led by Syngman Rhee
• Japan

Here is my ideal list of leaders of Communist Australia.

LIST OF PRESIDENTS OF AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC:
1947-1970: Jock Garden (Communist)
1967-1986: Ted Hill (Communist)
1986-1994: John Cummins (Communist)

Is there any list of incomplete leaders to complete this one?

1922
The Bolsheviks won (for a little while). These will be known as the Lenin Years, lasting from 1922 to 1927

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

This is my newest map.
It incorporates some changes made after polls and discussions, and it also includes a compromise proposal on a Baltoslavia: Here, Baltoslavia includes Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus, but not Estonia.

Also, the colour of Red Russia is now clearly distinct from Red Japan.

What do you think about it? Have I forgot some change or something?

Here something on football. This is the ranking of leagues by the EFV (Europäischer Fußball-Verband) used to determine who gets how many spots in pan-European competition. The first five nations in this ranking get the maximum of five spots each in the Großer Europäischer Pokal (lit.: Great European Cup/Cup of Europe - TTLs analogue of the Champions League) and in the EFV-Pokal (UEFA cup analogue).

Ligabewertung des EFV - Saison 2019/20:
League Ranking by EFV - Season 2019/20:

1. Germany (Erste Reichsliga)
2. France (Ligue Rouge)
3. Ottoman Empire (Devletin Lig)
4. United Kingdom (Professional Football League/PFL)
5. Baltoslavic Union (Lyga A)
6. Portugal (Liga Primeira)
7. Italy (Serie A)
8. Spain (Primera División)

 

[KaiserEmu]

That's a completely new vision there, @KaiserEmu . Interesting, but where should we then get a democratic red bloc from?

I wouldn't say it's a completely new vision, merely an extrapolation of current ideas in a direction that, to me at least, makes more sense. I don't understand the question about the 'democratic red bloc'.

My idea was more a Red China without Xinjiang, Tibet and Manchuria. But we'll see. Maybe we will also end up with only France as a red bloc, togehter with some nations in West Africa?

I find it hard to see how Manchuria would be independent in such a scenario. Although by now, does there have to be a 'red bloc' per se at all?

This is a rough proposal of my ideas for Australia and Asia combined.

Notes:

• China is a democratic, dominant-party republic and the main power in East Asia.
• Korea is China’s closest ally and the most prosperous East Asian nation after the nationalists won the Korean Civil War (with a lot of Chinese support).
• Japan is also fairly prosperous, although its international influence has never quite recovered since the middle of last century.
• The Dalnivostok Republic (using the transliterated name for the Far Eastern Republic) is a small, Chinese-allied state that otherwise is not very notable at all, its independence from Russia only maintained by Chinese men and Chinese money.
• The State of Tsingtau has the highest GDP per capita in Asia, although it suffers from high inequality. The legacy of almost a century of German control, Tsingtau’s unique Sino-Germanic culture meant it was uncomfortable joining China and instead sought independence, although it remains closely tied to Germany.
• Indonesia is united as a single republic, much in the vein of China, to the extent it even copies its governmental system, although it approaches it less democratically. Following independence from the Netherlands, the nation of Indonesia embarked on a number of wars in which it united all of OTL Timor, Malaya, Sarawak, Brunei, Borneo and West Papua under its control.
• The Republic of New Guinea is another state closely allied to Germany, and it has been since their independence.
• The Australian Republic is a parliamentary democracy, although Labor is seen as the natural party of government, partly because of the immense influence wielded by the unions.
• Western Australia could be the libertarian democracy proposed before if we really want it, although I have had another idea that I’d like feedback on, seen below.
• If we take this idea, the Dominion of Ulimaroa won its independence via referendum as Western Australia in 1933, although the modern country is quite different. Following the rise of Proactivism in Britain, many opponents of the new regime fled abroad, and while those of the more left-wing persuasion set out for elsewhere, many British conservatives and moderates left for WA, including a large proportion of the nobility. Now seeing itself as the legitimate heir to the British Empire, Ulimaroa (the name is an archaic name for Australia, resurrected ITTL to develop a more independent identity from the ‘godless commies’ out east) is now a hybrid fusion of British tradition and outback freedom. Thanks to its mineral wealth, it is quite rich, and the Ulimaroan House of Lords is a mixture of old money British nobility, new money mining magnates who ensure taxes stay low, and the political class, who at least has the decency to not be openly corrupt.

Thoughts? I’ve tried to reach a compromise between various ideas, while also trying to bring some desperately needed originality to this genre. Thus we have the idea of a lefty bloc in East Asia, while also keeping in mind other proposals to determine which are the great powers. Australia is much more left-wing than OTL, while also not adopting borderline impossibilities like an overtly Communist Australia. Germany retains some influence in Asia, and Australia is split in a not totally implausible manner, with interesting yet logical political systems that don’t resort to radicalism just because. I think this could work quite well.

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

@Red Arturoist, what do you think of this as a compromise?

I'll now show my own proposal, and it does come close to some of your ideas indeed.

Some proposals of my own:

• China, now united except for Yunnan, is dominated by a party made from a big KMT and a small Communist Party. It would of course basically be the KMT.
  
• Its Sinosphere includes a Jewish-dominated Green Ukraine, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia, the different nations in Myanmar, and possibly also the states in Eastern India.
  
• Japan is also an ally of the Sinosphere (KMT-Sphere), but here, the communist part of the party at some point became dominant and thus, Japan is an even more red outlier.
  
• New Guinea is closely allied to Germany. The Shanghai-Freistaat and Hongkong-Freistaat are illiberal capitalist democracies allied to Germany, too.
  
• In Tsingtau, however: D I R E C T R U L E F R O M B E R L I N!
  
• Russia is united under the Federal Democratic Soviet Republics(?) - a light-socialist economy (land, resources, and basic infrastructure like electricity and rail are nationalised, protected by a constitutional eternity clause, and any enterprise must be open to cooperation) and politically very federalised. This is basically Trałkaism from the Eternal Conflict Mapgame.

What do you think?

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

@KaiserEmu , now I integrated Compacts of Free Association with all former German colonies (Verträge über die freie Verbrüderung) except Togo and Namibia, and I also noticed that your solution of "large autonomy of Transcathay" is probably the best solution to make the Siberian Republic/Far East Republic/... viable. I think Transcathay would have one of the most wide-ranging autonomy statutes in the world.

I'll let you change the borders of Australia, as you are really knowledgeable in Australia. I also modified a few things in Germany to reflect the new East Asian developments and a few smaller issues you brought up (e.g. Gregor Tanne as a name - now Elmar Strittmatter).

And this is the newest map:

I think that Togo, Namibia and Zanzibar staying fully German is plausible: Togoland is German for over 100 years ITTL, the same for Namibia and Zanzibar. Tanzania (Deutsch-Ostafrika) was already decided by a poll to be independent, so I think that a CFA should be in effect for there, too.

 

[KaiserEmu]

I'm highly doubtful that Chinese province boundaries would be exactly the same here as OTL

I just ignore the internal borders; they're OTL ones that for some reason have been left in despite all the butterflies.

Anyway, I've been working on Africa and have encountered a problem. As far as I can tell, there's no clearly established canon or timeline for the second world war; who's on which side, which areas are the key theatres, who wins, who loses, who (if anyone) swaps sides, drops out early, etc. Given the world-shaping nature of a world war, I suggest we make it our first priority to determine exactly how WWII goes, before we do anything else, and certainly before we work on post-war to present day history. I think now most interwar history is reasonably established, but after that is a patchy hodgepodge of random ideas. Once we work out the details of WWII and the subsequent peace, then we can focus on 50s history, 60s history, etc until we reach the present day, but trying to build a modern day world (or even the individual histories of certain countries) is very difficult without the foundation that is knowledge of the course of the war.

However, while I can't determine the look of post-war Africa just yet, here's my proposal for what Africa circa 1928 would look like.

I'm still thinking about how the Middle East fits into this.

The Royal Navy 1919-25
The Royal Navy had come out of the war considerably better than the Army, but still had failed to win any resounding victory. Post-war many older ships were scrapped to help the economic recovery, it was because of this that Admiral Beatty had resigned. The 1922 election allowed Beatty back in. The 1922 Hamburg Conference was a key turning point in the History of the Royal navy and the Germany Navy. Both Countries agree to limit there capital ships to 25, and only replace 1 per year. In the case of France or the USA trying to build more than 25 capital ships, then an esculator clause would allow for each nation to build more to keep up. In return for capital parity, the Germans agree to reduce expendature on support vessels, such as cruisers and critically carriers. Another critical point in 1924 came with legislation allowing the Royal Navy first refusal on various centers of production considered important for naval production if they went out of business.
Another important gain for the Royal Navy was the intergration and promotion of by Prince Albert, allowed young people from a vertity of backgrounds to meet each other and learn naval skills and proactive propaganda.

 

[Deleted member 107125]

In the process of making this timeline, creative differences have been found between me (Rooin Mahmood) and Red Arturoist (Timo Karff) on whether we shall use fictional or real people in this timeline. I have decided to make some rules on it, that the both of us
would agree on, as would others-

1. All contributors to this timeline may be free to either include real or fictional people in this work
2. In terms of royal succession, real pretenders and members of the family shall be used unless we are talking about a fictional marriage
3. Both fictional and real politicians are allowed to be used
4. The further away from the POD, more liberties are allowed
5. There is no 5

This ok?

Fianna Fail Wins Majority in the Irish Parliement; Will This Mean the End of the Monarchy?
(B.N.C News*, September 2nd, 2019)

How Did this Happen?

A few months ago, the Irish Parliement (called the Oireachtas in Gaelic) held a vote of no confidence against the Fine Gael government. The Fine Gael party, the conservative, Pro-German party which has held the majority over the Parliement for most of Ireland's history, has recently been plagued by scandals and corruption. This was not helped by the increasing popularity of the right-wing Renua (literally "New Era") party. After the resignation of the last Taioseach, or Prime Minister, the increasingly popular, liberal nationalist party Fianna Fail called for a vote of no confidence. An emergency election was postponed for several months by Fine Gael, but was finally held a few weeks ago. Fine Gael came off as "incompetent and corrupt" to many people, and the Fianna Fail-Labour coalition was extremely popular in the Northern and Western parts of the Country. The right-of-centre vote was split between the remnants of Fine Gael, the Ulster Party, and Renua.

What Will This Mean for Ireland?

Fianna Fail was formed after the Irish Civil War by Eamon De Valera in 1922. Its main goal was the peaceful transition of Ireland from a Monarchy to a Presidential Federal Republic. It has mainly worked towards this goal by trying to weaken the power of the King through constitutional amendments and laws. But now that Fianna Fail has a majority, and can probably swing the entire left vote, due to their economic policies, many expect them to demand a constitutional convention, where they will disband the monarchy once and for all. The Irish monarchy has been a controversial issue since its establishment, due to the king being from the old Prussian Von Hohenzollern family, as a condition of Germany's backing of the Irish Rebels during the war for Independence. The current king, Iaochim II, has refused to comment on the issue.
Another major issue is changing Ireland's flag. Taioseach Michael O'Brian* has stated that "The Flag of our nation should not be defaced with another country's symbol", but others have stated that the symbol in the Canton is not a symbol of German dominance, but of the German Volunteers who fought with the Irish partisans in the war of independence. A flag referendum is scheduled for next year.
Inset: The Flag of Ireland

The controversial flag of Ireland. The Green stripe is for the Irish Catholics, the Gold stripe is for the Irish Protestants, and the White stripe is for peace, liberty, and unity.
The Canton symbolizes the revolutionary movement that won Ireland her independence. The symbol is that of the German Volunteers, while the blue comes from the Blue Harp Flag.

What Does This Mean for Britain?

Several experts Have said that Ireland will "not attempt the political and economic nightmare of trying to leave the EFDG", but there will still probably be a souring of relations between Ireland and Germany for a while, especially if the king is removed. Some believe that Ireland might beef up its military, and possibly intervene in the crisis in Scotland. Yet others think that perhaps Ireland and Britain can come to an agreement, and maybe even become allies.
The future of Ireland remains uncertain, but it will certainly be something to watch for in years to come.

Here, I can present another creation - I love how it turned out:

Season 2019/20 of the Erste Reichsliga! I depicted the promotion from Zweite Reichsliga West and Zweite Reichsliga Ost and the playoff rounds, too:

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

And I revised the map again. I revised the border of China in the Ningxia/Gansu area, I united Indonesia as @KaiserEmu proposed, and I eliminated subdivisions in a number of states which had 2019 subdivisions.

What do you think of this timeline (especially of our latest ideas for China), @Xianfeng Emperor and @Used-to-be Song Chinese ?

Also, may I work - at least to an extent - on most of Western Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium,...) and possibly on other members of the EFDG (which is probably you meant with "European Federation", @mikroraptor )?

China in 1937
This is not a good year for the Nanking government. The PLA is causing mass defections, Xinjiang has collapsed into anarchy, and the Beijing government has made up all of its losses. The Mongols reach their greatest extent as well. Although it is less obvious, the Beijing government is struggling as well. They are desperately trying to keep their allied Warlords in line, while Germany seems to be waffling on its support.
Tibet and Nagaland have made armistices with their neighbors, and have carved out "protection zones".
The situation in Japan has worsened, as the desperate attempts to set up a government have failed. At the same time, the Japanese administration in Korea has disintegrated. Currently, Monarchical, Democratic, and Anarchist groups are battling it out for the fate of the Peninsula.

Flag of the British Proactive party.

It was considered in 1925 that this might become the offical flag of the UK, but army pressure led to the Union Jack being maintained. It is still used occasionally today, most infamously by pro-goverment paramilitaries in Glascow.

 

[mikroraptor]

My take on the claim map. If anyone else has a better knowledge of one of the already claimed areas, then I am sure that most of us would be happy to drop said claim. Any other claimants?
(sorry for the mess that is Poland, it was the best way I could think of to show the competing ideas there)

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

An attempt at a (very rough) world history. Mostly focused on Europe probably, but tackling other parts of the world, too:

And of course, it is still a WIP. What do you think of it?

• 1917: Unrestricted submarine warfare is given up on, America never enters the war.
  
• October 1917: Russian revolutionaries conclude the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk hastily, setting Poland, Lithuania, the United Baltic Duchy, Belarus and Ukraine free.
  
• November 1917: With a bad harvest and little will left to fight, French soldiers mutiny en masse. France is beginning to turn red.
  
• Germany and the Central Powers have won World War I!

• • December 1917: The Christmas Revolution in France sees much of Paris fall to a revived Commune. As uprisings spread and under pressure from the rebels and mutineers, the French government seeks an armistice with Germany.

  • February 4, 1918: King George V dies at the hands of a union activist. Widespread strikes and riots force significant portions of the army to be recalled to maintain order. An anti-union movement begins among the returning soldiers, who eventually suppress the “Red Spring” by May.

  • April 1918: Russian revolutionaries conclude the Treaty of Vilnius, with Poland, Lithuania, the United Baltic Duchy, Belarus, Ukraine, Crimea and Kuban becoming independent under varying levels of German influence. Montana, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Dagestan become independent under Ottoman influence.

  • May 1918: Without much hope after France’s surrender and troubled by internal instability, Britain also seeks peace; Belgium, now effectively abandoned, follows suit.

  • June 1918: The French Fourth Republic is proclaimed, adopting a constitution on socialist principles.

  • August 1918: The Treaty of Strasbourg ends the war on the Western Front with German annexation of the French departments of Meurthe-et-Moselle, Belfort and parts of Vosges; the entire nation of Luxembourg, and the Belgian provinces of Liège and Luxembourg. Significant colonial concessions are also obtained, resulting in the creation of German Central Africa.

  
  
• 1918-19: Regimes in Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine stabilise. Belarus, however, falls to anarchist Makhnoist-types (is that plausible, @Augenis ?) and in order to restore order, (Poland and) Lithuania invade. Litbel is formed.
  
• 1918-1922: Emperor Karl I. manages to reform Austria-Hungary into a constitutional democratic monarchy, however, to the chagrin of many, he makes the nation a unitary one. It is unitary to an extent that the second-level subdivisions consist of 87 Bezirke. Cultural and linguistic minorities have the right to speak their language and educate their children in it. Now, the nation is officially called Kingdom of the Danube (Donaumonarchie).
  
• 1920-1927: Paul von Hindenburg proves an excellent administrator of Germany, though somewhat authoritarian. He also manages to seize or negotiate away many colonies from France, Britain and other nations falling to diverse revolutions, and thus, Mittelafrika is achieved by the late 1920s. Even the Congo goes German as Belgium falls to a civil war.
  
• In the same vein, the Dutch East Indies turn German.
  

• I pictured something like - all still subject to objections and changes:
  

  • Mid-1917: Russian revolution. Kerensky or another Republican comes to power. First Russian Civil War
  • October 1917: Lenin comes to power along with Lev Bronstein. Iosib Bessarionis Dzugashvili is already dead or incapacitated.
  • The Republic of Siberia stays independent and can never be retaken by the USSR.
    
  • January 27, 1926 (I made this date up arbitrarily): Lev Davidovich Bronstein is assassinated by a radical antisemitic reactionary.
  • Late 1927: Lenin dies a natural death, and soon after - at the least by December 1927 - infighting in the USSR begins.
  • 1927-1930: Second Russian Civil War. In 1930, democratic republicans win.
  • March 23, 1931: Konstantin Rodzaevsky takes over the "New White Movement" party, an extremely nationalist one.
  • June 7, 1931: The first free and fair elections on Russian soil are held.
  • August 1935: The Volgograd Coup fails?
  • Mid-1939: After an economic crisis in Europe, having started in Berlin and with US repercussions, the New White Movement gains a majority in the Duma over the "United Democratic Party" and the Communist Party. But nearly a year before, de facto civil war breaks out in Russia with the Black Hundred et al. fighting red revolutionaries around Lev Kamenev, Grigory Zinoviev et al. and democratic paramilitaries.
  • 1930-1939: Orthodox supremacist or extremely nationalist governments come to power in Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece. Germany, on the other hand, secures the stability of the Kingdom of the Danube.
  • 1939-1940: Russia under Rodzaevsky, calling himself Vozhd of All Russians is turned into a totalitarian theo-nationalist dictatorship with Orthodox Supremacy. Muslims are the first target of persecution.
  • 1940: The Republic of Siberia is retaken against more or less token resistance. Rodzaevsky's armies only encounter significant resistance in and around Vladivostok.
    
  • Summer 1940: A Muslim rebellion in the southern areas of the Russian Orthodox Union (ROU) is crushed
  • March 3, 1941: The reconquest (= Anschluss - what would be the Russian term?) of Ukraine is completed against token resistance. Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea (maybe even more?) becomes Russian.
  • 1941: Russia restores the Empire of Japan. Its Taishō Emperor had fled to Siberia in 1923(?), died there, and Hirohito had been Emperor of Japan in exile since February 20, 1938. Hirohito returns to the throne, and the Second Empire of Japan becomes a close Russian ally.
    
  • Winter 1941-42: The Baltics can be put under "protectorate", Germany trusts Russia that they will not annex the Baltic states.
  • May 24, 1942: World War II is started by an attack on Finland. The annexation of the Baltic states is completed by August 24.
  • some time in 1942: A non-aggression pact by Russia with Red France is concluded.
  • Late 1942-early 1943: With assistance due to the Great Abkhaz Betrayal, the Caucasian nations are invaded and Commissariats established. They are ruled by Commissars who get their orders from Moscow and Moscow only.
  • 1943: A coup establishes an Orthodox supremacist government in Romania.
  • On the eastern front, China is invaded on March 11, 1943. The Kuomintang and the CCP join, setting their infighting aside.
    
  • Early 1944 (April or May?): Feeling extremely confident now that all lands of the USSR are Russian again, Russian armies invade Poland.
  • Early 1945: The Polish government, despite all the help they got from Germany and its allies, is overthrown by Russia and its allies. Poland is re-incorporated and subjugated as they are regarded as "Catholic traitors". People who convert to Russian Orthodoxy are held in high esteem as they "have proven to be true Slavs".
  • With the invasions of Galicia and an uprising in Hungary, Austria-Hungary falls into civil war and Serbs, Slovaks, Czechs and especially East Galicians are propped up by Russia.
    
  • September 1945: Germany is invaded simultaneously by Russia and Red France. Austria, and Hungary (now separate), along with the Czech Republic hastily formed from Bohemia and Moravia, help Germany, while Romanist Spain and Portugal stay neutral. Britain is on the Russian side.
    
  • Shortly after Königsberg and some areas of the Rhineland (up to Krefeld and Mönchengladbach) are taken, the invasion stalls in winter.
  • France does proclaim a "Workers' Union of Germany" (Union der deutschen Arbeiter) in French-controlled areas, with its government in Trier, the hometown of Karl Marx.
    
  • Lagardelle's France also reincorporates Alsace-Lorraine.
    
  • 1946: The Battles of Berlin, Köln and Frankfurt prove the most difficult in World War II yet as German soldiers engage their enemies in grueling house-to-house combat, fighting to their deaths for every inch. Millions of soldiers die and many aircraft and pieces of equipment are lost on both sides.
  • Early 1947: As the winter was extraordinarily cold and last summer saw bad harvests in Ukraine (and other areas?), food rations are cut all over Russia. The first riots erupt in Vladivostok and St. Petersburg.
  • by late 1947: The riots got worse and worse, and spiralled into a civil war. Germany retakes its territory and in Poland, Ukraine and the Caucasus, underground guerilla activities to liberate their respective homelands begin to be supported by the German allies. Also, a quick civil war has reinstated democracy in Romania.
  • Early 1948: Most anti-Rodzaevksy rebels join Germany and support the German Empire in defeating Russia. The Jews, most of whom had been deported to Green Ukraine/Transcathay, rise up for an independent nation and are supported by Kuomintang China.
  • early 1948:
    
  • until October 1948: Moscow is taken in arduous house-to-house combat, and on November 18, the German flag is flying on the Kremlin. The Rodzaevsky government however does not surrender.
    
  • December 6, 1949: Codenamed Nikolaus, Germany tests its first nuclear bomb in the deserts of Namibia.
    
  • December 27, 1949: The city of Saratov is nuked.
    
  • January 11, 1950: The city of Novosibirsk is nuked.
    
  • February 12, 1950: The Rodzaevsky regime surrenders. This is commonly considered the end of World War II, it ends in a German victory. However, there still is a front in East Asia...
  • Provisionally, Siberia and the Russian Federal Republics are let into self-governance, at least in internal affairs. Militarily, Germany keeps advisors.
  • July 29, 1951: China reconquers the last of Manchuria.
    
  • October 18, 1951: After nearly two years of vicious aerial bombardment, a naval landing on the Japanese home islands is staged. Many left-wing to communist collaborators greet the Chinese Army as liberators.
    
  • May 29, 1952: In order to speed the process up and avoid millions more casualties against Kamikaze suicide commands, Kokura is destroyed with a nuclear bomb.
    
  • June 1952: The Treaty of Vilnius finalises the borders of Central and Eastern Europe after World War II.
  • July 6, 1952: The Empire of Japan surrenders.

• 1932: After a 8-year period of rapid change in General Secretaries of the United French Communes, Hubert Lagardelle becomes the new hope of France.
  
• 1933: Western Australia successfully secedes.
• 1932-34: Hubert Lagardelle restructures and quickly industrialises France.
