Map Challenge: Bavarian Empire

I think there is still room for a Prussia that centered around Konigsburg and the southern shore of the Baltic. A rump Polish state may exist also.

I would lean towards an early POD, but still throw in the Napoleonic Wars. Eugen Beauharnais is one to include also. I'm mulling thru some ideas. Thinking about an enlarged Bavaria post-Napoleon that the Protestant nothern states join in the 1870s. The Austrian regions join post-1848, the title of Kaiser confered by the Congress of Frankfurt on the Wittelsbachs. Maximilian I (ie Maximilian II of Bavaria) reigns pretty much like alot of AH guess Frederick III does - on the liberal side.

Ludwig I (II) is a little more stable here, perhaps by marrying his cousin Elisabeth. He probably goes a little insane in the years following her assassination in 1898. Franz-Josef becomes King of Austria.

The Bavarian Reich

Kaiser Maximilian I 1848-1889
Kaiser Ludwig I 1889-1916
Prince Regent Luitpold 1900-1912
Prince Regent Ludwig 1912-1916
Kaiser Ludwig II 1916-

To settle the other question :D :

I´m from Württemberg, now part of Baden-Württemberg, the neighbouring Land to Bavaria.
That´s our hymn.

Just in case anyone wonders, my map shows the states (Bundesländer) and administrative districts in them.


1704: Bavarian and French victory at Blenheim opens the path to Vienna.

The Imperial court flees.
Historically, Emperor Leopold dies in 1705, and with the Habsburg line humilitated, the Maximilian Emunue is elected Emperor with the help of french money. French support is guaranteed by the cessation of left-rhine germany to France, the rulers are compensated on the expense of the small territories.

Centuries later, historians would pore over this post, wondering if possibly it might be the kindling spark of the Third World War...
