The End of Germany final.png

Disclaimer - Not my actual opinion on these plans that I made up, the description below is written by a perspective of a French history book that is filled with propaganda, covering up the crimes that they committed.

CENTRAL EUROPE - FOR ALL ETERNITY

The German’s crimes under the Nazi party was quite too overwhelming, the Hun’s lust for blood costed the lives of innocent civilians all across the continents, millions of Slavs were gassed and shot while French were raped and tortured. 6 millions Jews were killed in a mass industrial genocide, in the name of racial pueity of the “Aryan Race”. After the final defeat of the Third Reich in November 1946 [1], it was a commitment for the European allies of France, Britain, and the Soviet Union to finally solve the German question which has started countless wars.

Starting with the defeat of the German Reich, new proposals for the German question were discussed. Some simply wanted Germany to be simply partitioned, some wanted Germany to be a cow pasture. Eventually, after months of negotiation, the allied supreme council reached a decision. For peace on the continent, the German nation and culture must be destroyed. Yes, it sounds criminal but it must be done, for the sake of peace.

Starting from 1947 to 1950, the partition of Germany slowly began. In 1947, the Dutch, Belgian, and Luxembourg annexations were approved by the allies. In the east, Poland took South of East Prussia while the Soviets took the North and all land East of the Order. The Czechs took Saxony and a strip of Bavaria. The remains of Germany still remained under occupation however, progress still needs to be done to pacify the hun. Resistance Nazis committed crimes still against the peacekeepers, wanting to restore Nazism like the lowlife evil they are.

The pacification of Germany from 1947 to 1951 was a swift series of actions taken by the allied peacekeepers to finally end the German insurgency. All across the occupation zones, any signs of German culture was destroyed and the language strictly forbidden. Large population transfers took place, where Germans can work for another nation to help them rebuild and develop far regions, such as the Germans in Siberia [2]. Sterilization took place to prevent more obedient Nazis from being born and a new commission but set up in the Ruhr to liquidate the German’s industrial capacity, nicknamed the “Destruction Zone” [3].

All German monuments were to be razed, symbols of German militarism. As revenge for the “Rape of Paris” in 1945 [4], all cultural monuments that the Germans adored were blown up and replaced with new allied monuments, chanting peace and the peace loving allied leaders. The allied council also banned German food such as their famed sausages, to be replaced with processed industrial leftovers, to break the will of the Germans even further.

With the process of degermanification taking place, some Germans took the choice to move to South America, the United States, Portugese colonies, and the British dominions. From 1947 to 1960, nearly 20-30 million Germans fled abroad. Another 20 million were involved in the population transfers to work as volunteer labor for the Soviet Union in Siberia and France in Algeria. 10 million died in occupied zones due to famine caused by Nazi lowlife sabotaging food supply [4]. The remaining 10 millions were assimilated into their respective cultures.

In 1951, the allied council met again in Mirgrad (Potsdam) [5] to discuss the fate of the remaining occupation zone of Germany. Stalin proposed that Eastern Germany shall return back to Slavdom, bringing up that it was conquered by German settlers back in the medieval age. Churchill also opted for the restoration of Hanover while the French planned a series of weak buffer states against Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. The allied council finally decided on a final peace proposal.

The Mirgrad Peace Accords determined that the remaining occupation zone is to be carved up into new states. The new states of Sorbia and Pomerania were forged as a new home for the peace loving Slavic peoples while the French annexed Wurttemberg and established a settler state in former Hesse called “Frankia”. The British recreated Hanover and absorbed the Ruhr Zone, which was by this point totally deinsutrizaled.

Austria, despite their lies that they were the “first victim of Nazism”, were also partitioned. A new Slavic buffer state was established out of Eastern Austria as the Democratic Republic of Salzo, a protectorate of Zapodslavia. In Tyrol, the land was originally to be ceded to Switzerland but the Swiss proposed that a new Tyrolean nation be formed and base itself off of Switzerland. The allied council approved and the new nation of Tyrolia was forged, under a Swiss protectorate.

During the talks though, a new elite came to the Migrad talks, the “Social Avantgardists” [6]. The Avantgardists championed that a new worldwide forum be established out of the former lands of the war mongrel Germans and to help civilize them. The new state is to speak Esperanto, a proposed international language. They staked claim to Bavaria and Austria and were approved by France and the Soviets, therefore, the “Esperanto Republic” was born.

When the Chinese War began in 1951 [7], the Soviet Union withdrew much of their troops from Sorbia and Pomerania to fight. This caused the insurgency to get out of control and the war mongrel Germans were close in taking over Sorbia from the peace-loving Slavs. Eventually, the Poles and Czechoslovaks sent forces to fight the German Insurgencies and as a result, grew closer together. With the death of Stalin in 1952, Krushchev allowed a close economic and political union between the West Slav states in 1954.

After the German Insurgency was defeated [8], the Western Slav states cooperated closer together than ever. In 1958, the Treaty of Krakow was signed, united Sorbia, Pomerania, Czechoslovakia, and Poland into the new “Socialist Union of Zapodslavia”. The union mostly bases its political system from the Soviet model, with socialist republics making up the state and Autonomous Socilaist Republics (ASRs) also serving for other minorities inside the states.

The year is now 1965 and peace has finally settled in Europe. Despite the recent emerging tensions between the newly emerged American superpower and the Soviet Union after the Chinese War from 1951-1956, both powers refrain from war as such as would the Germans would. With the German nation gone, the balance of power has returned to Europe, preserving the peace as it did before 1871.

[1] Due to no total American commitment to defeat the Nazis, the British and Soviet victory was delayed by a year.

[2] The Soviets created a separate ASSR out of Altai for the Germans to help “develop” the region. Has good ol’ forced labor, starvation, and the gulag ™ .

[3] The Ruhr was totally deinsturized to the bare bone, the “Destruction Zone” lasting from 1947 to 1951 is comparable to the Khmer Rouge of OTL. The British, French, and Soviets used the region as target practice daily and starvation was rampant.

[4] When the British and Free French were about to enter Paris, the Parisians attempted to rise up. The Germans tried to suppress the rebellion and destroyed Paris, blowing up the Eiffel Tower. As a result of this, the French were eternally pissed at the Germans.

[5] Potsdam was later renamed Mirgrad, meaning “City of Peace” in Russian as a monument to the Peace Accords destroying Germany.

[6] Kinda made these guys tbh, kinda like intellectual utopic internationalists who want to experiment with the Germans to create a new country that would eventually unite all of mankind.

[7] ITTL, the Pacific War continued into early 1947 with the nuclear bombardment of Japan and a land invasion by both the Soviets and Americans. In 1951, American marines landed in Southern China to save the Nationalists, starting the “Chinese War” (ITTL’s Korean War).

[8] With genocide, deportations, and starvation all used, but they don’t like to talk about that.

Absolutly makes my German body wanting to throw up in a ungodly way...
Other than that it's a nice map showing what the maximum of genocide can be when you use ASB.
 
A while back someone asked if I could do a world map for one of the entries in my "Wanks" series (soon returning to a webpage near you), specifically my US-wank. Well, after fiddling with it on and off for a while, finally developed the motivation to finish it. The US in this world rolls a bunch of sixes and ends up developing a "Pan-Americanism" ideology, which goes beyond the OTL view that everyone secretly wants to be an American, to a view that all people _can_ become Americans, and US ability to take in almost anyone and make them eventually a hard-working, dollar-chasing American patriot as an indication that one day everyone on the planet will one day be US citizens. (Admittedly, even the biggest enthusiasts admit absorbing China and India is sort of a long term project.)

Although this is a wank, there is some opposition, for one must have challenges if one is not to become too complacent.

After Europe had an atomic version of WWI (with biowarfare thrown in) *Red revolution overtook central/eastern Europe, although in 2020 the Syndicalist powers are increasingly at odds and struggling economically (although the Danubian and Eurasian versions of Syndicalism are less economically idiotic than OTL Soviet-style command economics, they have run out of easy inputs from rebuilding from the Atom war a while ago, and are struggling with a manpower shortage in spite of considerable efforts to promote big families, particularly in Transbalkania)

And then there is the Return of Asia, although the Chinese and Indians have their own differences, with India looking to create a unified Non-European World Order while China just wants to be Number One again (with less access to US markets and a much larger US economy to begin with, they have a while to go yet).

The sheer mess of Europe has forestalled any full-blown atomic arms race, although all the major powers (the US, Italy, Danubia, China, Eurasia and India) have a fair number of them and means of delivering them. The US has moon bases, because of course it does.

The US is perhaps a bit overextended, and besides rumblings in England and Africa the slow and steady progress of Americanization of Mexico (several Mexican states have abandoned their Autonomous status, except for retained bilingualism, in bursts of Americo-patriotism) has been brought to a screeching halt by a new movement based in the Mestizo and Indian experience, whose exponents loudly claim they don't want to be US-ians with "an interesting regional culture", but Mexicans. (Or possibly Anahuacans. There's some dispute. )

Disclaimer - Not my actual opinion on these plans that I made up, the description below is written by a perspective of a French history book that is filled with propaganda, covering up the crimes that they committed.

CENTRAL EUROPE - FOR ALL ETERNITY

The German’s crimes under the Nazi party was quite too overwhelming, the Hun’s lust for blood costed the lives of innocent civilians all across the continents, millions of Slavs were gassed and shot while French were raped and tortured. 6 millions Jews were killed in a mass industrial genocide, in the name of racial pueity of the “Aryan Race”. After the final defeat of the Third Reich in November 1946 [1], it was a commitment for the European allies of France, Britain, and the Soviet Union to finally solve the German question which has started countless wars.

Yes, it sounds criminal but it must be done, for the sake of peace.

In the east, Poland took South of East Prussia while the Soviets took the North and all land East of the Order. The Czechs took Saxony and a strip of Bavaria.

From 1947 to 1960, nearly 20-30 million Germans fled abroad. Another 20 million were involved in the population transfers to work as volunteer labor for the Soviet Union in Siberia and France in Algeria. 10 million died in occupied zones due to famine caused by Nazi lowlife sabotaging food supply [4]. The remaining 10 millions were assimilated into their respective cultures.

The allied council finally decided on a final peace proposal.

The Mirgrad Peace Accords determined that the remaining occupation zone is to be carved up into new states. The new states of Sorbia and Pomerania were forged as a new home for the peace loving Slavic peoples while the French annexed Wurttemberg and established a settler state in former Hesse called “Frankia”. The British recreated Hanover and absorbed the Ruhr Zone, which was by this point totally deinsutrizaled.

Austria, despite their lies that they were the “first victim of Nazism”, were also partitioned. A new Slavic buffer state was established out of Eastern Austria as the Democratic Republic of Salzo, a protectorate of Zapodslavia. In Tyrol, the land was originally to be ceded to Switzerland but the Swiss proposed that a new Tyrolean nation be formed and base itself off of Switzerland.

A X Ways to Divide map for the small Balkans nation of Peonia in Earth98 (yes its back).

Nstled between Greece, Bulgaria, and Macedonia,the small country of Peonia has always been a native outsider in fear of its respective Fascist, Theocratic, and Anarchic neighbours. In 2005, tensions between the Paulicians and Christian Orthodoxes in the Rhodope valley in the southeast broke out into an insurgency and minor seperatist war. Culturally, around 63% of the population is Peonian, a descendant of the Thracians and Paeonians of antiquity and olde.In the period of around 1000-1100, Paulicianism arrived in Peonia and began an almost millenium long association with the nation, which today is the only majority Catharist nation on the planet.
 
Just a simple little thing I did, I originally had the idea of making some fancier graphic with something other than worlda but got lazy

franco prussian war.png


After the Patriot's Revolt, there had been various discussions of unifying the ex-British colonies in North America, none with much success. The most successful attempt, which saw the former 13 colonies united in theory under a strong federal government with a constitutional monarch, Emperor Washington, only existed for a few years, with the new federal government never really taking shape before the death of Washington, after which the First Empire was dissolved, and replaced with the American Confederation, a very loose union where the States retained full sovereignty

Virginia was the largest and most populous of the 13 colonies at the time of the Patriot's Revolt, and had extensive land claims inland as far as the Mississippi River. The American territories west of the Appalachians at first were sparsely populated by colonials, and were in many areas claimed by multiple States. Such was the case with the territories the Virginian State claimed, with Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York all having claims on part of the territory of Virginia. But a combination of cunning diplomacy and force by the Virginian Kingdom kept the other States out from the western territories, and allowed the Virginians to exploit the great wealth of resources in the region, to grow into something of an industrial power and to attract a large number of settlers from Europe. Events further abroad also helped Virginia expand - a combination of a revolt in Haiti and conflicts in Europe left the French Republic willing to rid itself of the vast but sparsely populated and poorly controlled territory of Louisiana, and Virginia was more than willing to make the purchase, which in one act more than doubled the size of Virginia

The rising power of Virginia was noted by other states. Indeed, during the Revolutions of 1848, where a number of states saw a shift towards mass democracy and away from the more oligarchical /limited democratic systems that had been in place since after the Patriot's Revolt, an attempt was made to revive the erstwhile Empire of America, with a Congress with representatives of several States offering the King of Virginia the title of Emperor. But the King took offense, he was no absolutist but also no fan of the democracy of the revolutionary masses, and refused to "pickup a crown from the gutter", instead going so far as to intervene to restore the pre-revolution governments in the neighboring states. Nonetheless Virginia had designs on expansion - the Virginian government simply wished to do it on its own terms. Virginia expanded its influence in neighboring areas. A few years prior to the Virginian-Mexican War, Virginia established the South American Confederation (despite the name, it functioned as more of a federation, dominated by Virginia) between it and three friendly southern States, and a few years prior to that, conflicts on the Gulf Coast led to Virginia going to war with Spain and annexing half of Florida

After a diplomatic incident came to a head, the Emperor of Mexico declared war on Virginia. The Mexicans believed the war would be an easy victory, but instead the Virginian forces handed them a decisive defeat. The Mexican Empire experienced a political shock that led to the end of the Empire and the establishment of the Second Republic, Mexico City itself was temporarily taken over by a communist uprising, and the territory of Tejas was annexed by Virginia

This victory provided the Virginians and South American Confederation with the momentum to declare the unification of America and establish the Second American Empire. There was some debate within Virginia on whether to pursue the 'greater American solution', seeking to bring the United Kingdom into the Empire, or instead to pursue the 'lesser American solution', avoiding butting heads with the United Kingdom even though this meant that not all of the territory of the American Confederation would be in the American Empire. In the end, Virginia chose the latter option. The United Kingdom was something of a ramshackle affair - it still claimed to be the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but after the French Republic enacted a hard Brexit, it had remained confined to Canada and the remaining UK colonies in the Caribbean. It was able to bounce back to some degree, however, and due to a complicated series of events, managed to form a union with the American States of New England, allowing it to considerably increase its power. That union was somewhat fraught - a few years before the Virginian-Mexican War, a political conflict had caused the United Kingdom to split and establish the Dual Monarchy, with the monarch of the UK remaining the monarch of both Canada and New England, but with the two territories having internal control of most of their domestic affairs, and with the Caribbean and Plains territories falling under joint New England-Canadian control - many would informally refer to the UK as the United Kingdom of New England and Canada. The Virginians could have just defeated the Dual Monarchy, if they wished, but due to certain circumstances, the Virginians decided it would simply be more trouble to actually integrate the territory than it was worth. And at any rate, the New England-less American Empire was plenty enough for the Virginian ambition - for the time being

Maybe not the most original idea, I imagine this has probably been done before on here. But this particular idea came to me when thinking about Big Virginia, about how it claimed a very sizable amount of territory, of Kentucky and the entire old Northwest. And that then got me thinking about an America just absolutely dominated by a very big Virginia. Which made me think of how Prussia made up such a large chunk of the German empire, both in terms of land and in terms of having over half of the empire's population. And from there, I got to this

And yes, the whole thing is kind of playing fast and loose with plausibility, being very plausible wasn't really the goal

I give you: a terraformed Venus Q-bam. As far as I'm aware, we didn't have a finished one yet, and all previous attempts were based on older WorldA versions anyway. Said WorldA maps, although often pretty, aren't very accurate. I've attempted, using NASA maps, to create a fairly realistic depiction of a terraformed Venus that has the same amount of water (proportional to its slightly smaller size) as Earth does.

That being said, my map isn't perfect. For starters, I had to sacrifice a few pixes at both of the 'sides', because Q-bam isn't actually a recognised projection, so converting to it from existing maps in other projections is... tricky. (Nevertheless, I've noticed that the existing Venus basemaps in WorldA also have this problem, and I've at least managed to minimise its effects.)

Created in 1936 sometime in January. Orrigannarly created in german but translated in English.
This map would appear in Hong Kong often. For the sake of simplicity, China internal borders are not shown
 
Soviet base on Bornholm? If they have the other islands directly a part of Soviet territory, they may not even need that island. Doing what they did IOTL where they got it agreed that Danes would be the only troops on the island worked quite well for them. Evacuating Bornholm might be part of the reason the Soviets would be allowed to annex some of the German islands here, as they are too far from the border for them to have realistically occupied themselves. I think Belgium realistically should be able to claim more land, though as they would have wanted stuff the Dutch had before the war, or at least the areas of Germany Belgium occupied after WWI, it wouldn’t be the most practical. Apparently the Dutch claimed all that land because they would not get monetary compensation, but expelling so many people would still be an issue. I can see them maybe trying to get the former Julich-Cleves-Berg-Mark and Cologne area independent and moving suck to their old, very Dutch languages. Having the Rhur independent but very much in the Benelux orbit would be in their favor, and could be used as a counterweight against French dominance further south. Hmmm, how do you think you will go with reparations in this world though? Soviets still snagging a huge chunk of the industrial goods due to treaties? And what borders do you see East Germany claiming?

I currently plan to draw a second somewhat more realist variant of the map. I wonder which territories Belgium could annex and how far we could expand the Belgian borders to the East. Reparations would probably exist, probably various countries would try to force reparations in their area of influence.
The Borders of the German Democratic Republic are roughly similar to OTL, except Islands in the Baltic Sea, the Sorbian Republic, and Görlitz and some rural areas around Stettin.
