Maximilian's legacy: Interwar and Post World War 2

I will cover both the Republic of Britain and the United Kingdom in exile just for convenience.

After the humiliating defeats and the Treaty of Berlin, revolutions and rebellions broke out, with the most successful one being in Ireland, the least successful ones were the Welsh Rebellion and the Third War of Scottish Independence. David Lloyd George quickly signed the Treaty of Berlin to hurry up and put down the Rebellions and by the end of 1918, most of the independence movements were put down, however this came at a high cost: 2/3 of the British Empire were gone, the Grand Fleet was divided and partition, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was no more, crippling war debts to the point that the English had to literally print paper money which created hyperinflation, and now more than ever people were clamoring for the end of the Monarchy. Britain was ready to explode and one action lit the spark.


In May 23, 1920 English workers began striking for better pay and for unions, they were already suffering from the inflated prices because of the reparations Britain had to pay. The conservative Prime Minister, Bonar Law, responded by cracking down hard on the strikers. This led to violence and British troops were called upon to put down the Downs Riots, the troops responded with outright mutiny and refused to shoot at the rioters. The situation was quickly getting of control and when the Royal Navy (or what was left of it) declared that the Royal Family must abdicate and they then declared the United Republic of England, Scotland, and Wales.

King George V chosen not to abdicate and instead fight, but Prime Minister Bonar Law was kicked out and replaced by the more radical socialist Ramsey MacDonald and he gave the Royals two options: A. Abdicate and give up all your titles and go into exile in Brazil or the United States or B. Be placed under arrest and possibly be executed. It was no contest, on May 26, King George V and Queen Mary abdicated and left on the HMS Hood. Ending the British Empire.

Immediately chaos ensued, with what was left of the British Empire including: Australia, New Zealand, The Falklands, and Canada declaring their continue support to the King and broke away from the British Republic. So in Canada, the Royals declared their new Capital in Ottawa.

Afterwards, the newly proclaimed Republic of Britain, refused to pay war reparations to Germany, Mexico, and the Danubian Empire. They responded by blockading the island, bombarding ports, and the German Luftstreitkräfte bombed the outskirts of London as a warning, until finally MacDonald gave in and agreed to keep paying reparations, but the fiasco tarnished MacDonald's reputation and he resigned as President of the Republic.

He was replaced by Richard Bell, under him he made treaties with the Soviet Union and as relief the Dawes-Obregon Plan was issued in 1924, from Mexican Secretary of the Hacienda, Alvaro Obregon and US Vice-president Charles Dawes, which meant both United States and Mexico would both help Britain and France pay their reparations together. With that the British economy began to recover and rise.

This came to a absolute end when France couldn't pay the reparations which meant Britain had to carry the full weight, which it couldn't. This caused a panic with both Germany and Mexico, like vampires, began sucking every pound out of Britain, but this made the money absolutely worthless, this triggered the Mexican and American stock market to crash, triggering the Great Depression.

None were as hard hit then Britain and France, now food prices had skyrocketed, with buying a loaf of bread costing 10,000 pounds. This led to people doing humiliating things such as women prostituting themselves, children working in the mud, and in worse cases selling children to buy food. People were blaming the socialist Government and began looking for a savior. That savior came in the form of Sir Oswald Mosley and his Union of British Fascists.

220px-Oswald_mosley_MP.jpg President Oswald Mosley

Mosley blamed the Irish and Catholics because they "Stabbed England in the back" and he championed fascism. In 1933, he was made President of the Republic of the Britain, however the House of Commons and 10 Downing Street "mysteriously" burned down. Mosley was quick to blame the Catholics and Communists and he then passed the Enabling Acts make him the Supreme leader. He then made a alliance with Fascist France and Sardinia, then making a agreement with the Soviet Union on the reconquest of Eastern Europe. This finally came to ahead when the Soviet Union invaded the Kingdoms of Finland and Ukraine, Germany and the Danubian Empire declared war on the Soviet Union, which was followed by the newly named Union of Britain and Fascist France declaring war on both.

Meanwhile in the Dominion of Canada, King George V was declared the rightful King of Britain and the newly created Commonwealth of the Crown which revolved around Canada. The Commonwealth then made relations with The United States, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil by doing this, they hoped that if a war broke out between the Republic of Britain and any of them then they can gain support for a restoration. Throughout the rest of the Twenties everything was quite until King George V died in 1936. He was followed by his son Edward VIII and he made a vow to reclaim his rightful birthright and that chance came in the Second World War.

Basically instead of a Communist Union of Britain, its a Fascist Union of Britain.

Also Im glad you saved the HMS Hood ITTL, the ship is simply too beautiful and magnificent to be scrapped away, I supposed that the Treaty of Berlin allowed Britain to spare and complete the Hood just in time for her trials then was used for evacuating the Royal Family out of London.

My guess is that the Hood ITTL is experiencing what the SMS Goeben faced through OTL in Turkey. Both ships was supposed to be handed to the victors after the war but because of the chaotic situation of their countries, the previous Treaty conditions were dropped and in this case, the Central Powers just simply signed a new Treaty with the Commonwealth of Britain and let them have the ship as part of the conditions in the new Treaty.

Here is another picture for this timeline, a post-war commemorating postcard depicting the four Emperors of the victorious Central Powers of the Great War.
From left to right: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, Kaiser Franz Josef I of Austria-Hungary, Sultan Mehmed V of Ottoman Empire and lastly, Emperor Agustín II of Second Mexican Empire.
(Too bad i couldn't find any photo of Agustin in uniforms, so this will have to do)

The phrase below in the postcard reads:"Vereinte Kräfte führen zum Ziel" (United powers lead to the goal)

This is amazing and I definitely love it. I'm working on the Post War Danubian empire and it's taking a while, I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

Austria-Hungary was in a weak position after the World War, after defeating Italy, Montenegro, Russia, and Serbia they were now undisputed power in the Balkans, with the only country that could oppose them in the Balkans being the Ottoman Empire, however this wasn't the 1600-1700s and both Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were allies against the Soviet Union.

But Austria-Hungary, even though they looked mighty, was actually in a dreadful state. During the World War, they suffered massive setbacks against Serbia and Italy, and their greatest victories were either on sea or with help of Germany or Mexico. This was because of the decrepit military hierarchy whiched favored nobility over merit such was in the case of Governor Oskar Potiorek. Kaiser Franz Josef did not make this better because of his continued efforts to keep Austria-Hungary together effectively meant no great military reforms.

Reform was desperately needed not only for the military but for the entire empire. Archduke, then Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand was aware of this and came up with a plan to reform the empire while at the same time keep it under Vienna's control. After the War ended Austria was now in control of Montenegro and the Italian Venento region, this had it's pros and cons: while it left Austria as the undisputed power in the Adriatic Sea it also brought in a bunch of pissed off Italians and Slavs, so much so that in December 20, 1918 Montenegrins still loyal to King Nicholas revolted and captured Cenitje and declared their Independence, it was short live of course with it lasting 16 days, but the effects left a mark on Vienna, it was either reform now of self-destruction.

220px-Borbe_kod_Podgorice_između_crnogorskih_pobunjenika_i_srpske_vojske_1918..jpg The Christmas uprising

At first Kaiser Franz Ferdinand wanted to reform slowly to not anger the Hungarians, but after the uprising Kaiser Franz Ferdinand decided to push all of his reforms rapidly to not risk another uprising. His Commonwealth-Reformen would effectively break Hungarian power and equally share power with the Italians, Czechs, Croats, Poles, Montenegrins, and Romanians. Budapest was in a uproar and refused to support any of these reforms because it would strip them of their privileges thus reducing Budapest to basically the same status of other cities such as Krakow, Prague, or Venice meaning they are now below Vienna. Many times when the German Imperial Council tried to push through with these plans, the Hungarian Diet always walked out in protests, until finally enough was enough and Kaiser Franz decided to just use the other minorities to vote. Overwhelmingly the minorities voted in favor of all the reforms, which meant the following:
  1. The ability to create their own Governments without the consent of Vienna or Budapest.
  2. To allow their own languages be foremost instead of German (this greatly excited the Czechs.)
  3. To send members of their Governments to Vienna for council meetings.
  4. To no longer be under Hungarian subjugation.
Budapest viciously denounced this, saying Kaiser Franz was in violation of the Ausgleich of 1867 and they even threaten to succeed. However these were basically hollow threats because it would be suicidal to leave because many of the Slovaks, Romanians, and Ukrainians in Hungarian territory would almost certainly revolt themselves against Hungarian opression, besides not to mention Austria had the support of Germany, Mexico, The Kingdom of Poland, Ukraine, and Romania to help Austria in case of a Hungarian uprising. So with no other choice they were forced to accept the reforms. So on May 15, 1919 Austria-Hungary transformed into the Danubian empire.

This finally gave many minorities autonomy and greatly reduced the chance of Rebellions. Throughout the next decade of the Twenties, Vienna became the second leading economic power in Europe, second only to Berlin, in 1932, Engelbert Dollfuß, became Prime Minister of the Empire and under him he was able to guide the empire through the Depression. Peace finally ended when the Soviet Union invaded the allied Kingdom of Ukraine, triggering the Second World War.

I think by this time, the Soviet Union would actually be an industrial powerhouse like the OTL, it did managed to industrialized but the cost is millions of people starved to death in collective farms.The SU of the interwar period would also traded with the Central Powers for awhile to get more imported goods, which could still possible.

Perhaps having a Japanese-Soviet military cooperations where Japan provided technical supports for SU in naval developments and development of tanks in exchange for resources, bear in mind that this too, happened OTL between Germany and Soviet Union way before Hitler decided to invade it as well.

Its actually pretty likely for two politically opposed nations to work together as the economy and material needs outweigh their ideologies so both Japan and SU can agreed to cooperate to a certain extent.

The Russian Civil War began in 1917 and ended in 1922, during that period, widespread famine strangled Russia, and millions perished either by fighting or hunger.
When the war finally ended, the new Soviet Union was a social pariah by everyone and no one established relations with the Soviet Union and because of that; Commissar of the Red Army, Leon Trotsky, wanted the World Revolution to continue and that he and his Red Army should march on Poland, Ukraine, and Finland. Lenin on the other hand chose to just stay in Russia and make it into the socialist utopia he wanted and also Lenin knew that if he invaded any pro-Central Power countries it would be the equivalent of committing suicide.

Lenin's reign saw the mass Purges and construction of the first gulags and because of the loss of Ukraine, the Bolsheviks had to transform the Volga River into the new Soviet's breadbasket. This at first successful, however mismanagement by the Politburo caused another famine and this one was much more worse than the one during the Civil War, so much so that even Germany, The Danubian Empire, and Mexico offered help to alleviate the famine. Lenin bluntly refused and continued on his modernization plans and Kaiser Wilhelm II sarcastically said to his relative in Mexico City, "They will all die of hunger long before their 'utopia' ever comes to fruition."

In 1922, however Lenin died because of a failed assassination attempt permanently left him in a weakened state, constantly seizing until finally dying of the same seizures. Now the battle was on who was to succeed him. Everyone had assumed that Trotsky would succeed him and continue his policies. However one man would stop this: Josef Stalin.

Stalin hid Lenin's testament that declared Trotsky his successor and also denounced Stalin, and instead created a new account that denounced Trotsky as a weak leader that signed a unequal treaty with the Central Powers and praised Stalin as the Man of Steel.

Because this Trotsky was outmaneuvered and was placed under arrest and was sent to the gulags in Kazakhstan, where he would die. Thus beginning Stalin's Reign of terror, he copied Trotsky's Five-year plan, but instead of the original Five-Steps forward, One-step back policy that Trotsky original planned, Stalin decided to go all out and peasants were forced into communal farms and work for food. When this failed, Stalin blamed Trotskists, Imperialists, and mostly the Kulaks and this began a bloody purge that led to thousands of Kulaks being sent to either be slaves in the factories or go to gulag.

Next began the mass industrialization of Russia, whiched would be accomplished in 5 years. Millions died and this caught the attention of both Germany and the Danubian Empire, not because of the deaths, but because of the industrialization. Reichskanzler Friedrich Ebert warned the Kaiser that if the Soviet Union continued, then by early 1930 the Soviet Union would be fully industrialized then there could be no stopping them. Kaiser Wihelm then form the Anti-Comintern pact which included:German Empire, Danubian Empire, Ottoman Empire, Kingdoms of Poland, Ukraine, Finland, Lithuania, United Baltic Duchy, Romania, Persia, Mexico, and Bulgaria. Kaiser Wihelm wanted Mexico to stop it's feud with Japan and instead make peace with them and have them join against the Soviet Union. Mexico refused and continued the Pacific Arms race.

Meanwhile, in Russia Stalin began another bloody Purge this time on the military. Killing or exiling many generals, officers, and many soldiers, including Mikhail Tukhachevaky hero of the revolution on the charge of disloyalty and he was executed. This greatly weakened the army and brought them to their knees just as Stalin wanted.

In August 29, 1939 the Soviet Union made a pact with fascist Britain and France to jointly invade Germany and the Danubian empire. So on September 1, 1939 the Soviet Union's Red Army invaded Ukraine and Finland starting the Second World War.​

On this you can also have the Soviet Union secretly funding and sending arms to those colonies under Central Powers control in the Far East, Mid East or the ones in Africa. With the 1929 Recession kicked in, there are alot of socialist and nationalistic independent movements happened in their societies due to the poor economy and the mistreatments from the local administrations in these matters only made it worse, so with these Empires tighten their grips on the colonists, it gave them a reasons to hate these Empire and they would gladly pick up arms from SU to wage war.

In additions, having the Union of Britain occupied Ireland and then Iceland alongside a few Scandinavian nations (except Sweden) while their French ally occupy the Low countries in the initial phase of the war.

Not only that but there could also be a few more uprisings in India against both Britain and France, with the supports of SU and Chinese communists, in particular, this Indian man here could be the one in charge of Azad Hind, an Indian armed independence movements against the German Empire and Mexican Empire through fascism ideology ITTL.

By the time war broke out, the Mexican Empire will have to deal not just the SU, but also those rebelling colonies that had been influenced by the "godless communists and fascists" that got supports from the Fascist Europe and Soviet Union who wants to spread disruption of orders and prosperity of Pax Mexicana. Another twist in here that can be done is that Japan sided with the Fascists in order to conquest the Mexican and German colonies in the Pacific through the idea of Pan-Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere.

another point i would like to mention, have the USA and Mexican Empire signed a political alliance together that marked the end of the two nations animosity and turned into allies, much like how Britain and France "Entente Cordiale" works. These political agreements would proved to be a tremendous boost for the relations of the Mexican Empire and the United States of America from early 1920s to 1930s, with both nations ended the previous conflicts and incidents happened between them and entered an age of peace and the two great powers could now use this alliance as a counter against the growing Japanese Empire in the Pacific instead.

Mexico would acknowledged the US sovereignty over Cuba and Puerto Rico, Navassa Islands and Virgin Islands, in exchange, the US would acknowledged Belize, Santo Dominigo, former French Guiana in the Caribbean Sea. This would also proved to be quite vital for both nations as the US doesnt have any other Great power ally in this period (Commonwealth of Britain is now a second-rate power), while the neutral Brazillian Empire basically have ostracized Mexico in their relations since the Portuguese massacre in the Great War. This is how Roosevelt "Good Neighbor Policy" could evolved into a full "Entente Cordiale" for these two Great Powers lies next to one another,

This North American "Entente Cordiale" would gives both Mexico and USA some security against the growing threat of the Soviet Union, but most importantly, to act as an alliance to counter the increasingly belligerent Empire of Japan in the Pacific. This alliance would later proved its effect with both the Second Mexican Empire and USA engaged in military exercises and discussions together, then culminated in a confirmed solidarity at the outbreak of the Second Weltkrieg and its aftermath. One of the best achievement that this "Entente Cordiale" alliance did was a successful coordination in an invasion of the British Isles with helps of the Commonwealth of Great Britain that brought back the British Royal Family from overseas after decades in exile. However its most victorious moment would be the contributions to the end of the Japanese naval supremacy in the Pacific throughout the war.

The French Third Republic desperately tried to keep itself afloat and survive, but with the deaths, the loss of French lands and colonies, the reparations, and worst Germans occupying the border it was to much and the army and people revolted on July 27 and forced the Government to run to Vichy and in Paris they declared the Second Paris commune.

The French Government tried desperately to quell the commune before the Germans get involved, it was to late. The German General in France, Erich Ludendorff, in no way wanted another communist country to Germany's border and without French permission, he invaded and within three days he ruthlessly crushed the commune with artillery, executions, and cavarly. Thus ending the Second Paris commune on the 1 of August.

When the French Government returned to the capital they declared the French Fourth Republic and agreed to work with the socialists, but the trauma of German soldiers in Paris again would forever be engrained in the minds of every Frenchman.

The French Fourth Republic's first days were already cataclysmic: crippling war debts amounting to 190 billion francs the French President, Alexandre Millerand tried desperately to convince Mexico or The Danubian Empire to ask Germany to lessen the reparations, but both refused. Not only did he had to deal with that, he also had to contend with socialist agitators and worse: French Monarchists who wanted to restore the Monarchy, (but they themselves were divided because you had Bourbonists, Orleanists, and Bonapartists), in the end he resigned from the Presidency.

By 1923, France managed to just pay 5 billion dollars and that was because they, like Britain, literally printed money. However a great relief came in the form of the Dawes-Obregon plan which finally brought in relief, recovery, and growth. The bubble finally burst when the French companies began to shut down because of strikes for better pay and this resulted in France missing their schedule payment and this resulted in German soldiers in occupying the iron rich Grand Est region to simply collect the reparations themselves it would last until 1929 with the advent of the Great Depression.

This would be the breaking point and multiple protests forced the Government to accept the Monarchy again in the form of Jacques of Bourbon, now Jacques I of France in September 27, 1930.

However this wasn't enough and on December 19, a military coup lead by the former hero of Verdun, Marshal Philippe Petain, declaring that the republic was ineffective and weak, then he declared marshal law making himself, defacto dictator of France while Jacques I was merely a puppet.

Under Petain, France experienced a population boom and a complete militarization with tanks, planes, and new tactics being tested. In 1935 Petain, Mussolini, and Mosley signed the Second Entente Cordial which was meant to take down Germany and the Danubian empire, but France not only wanted revenge on Germany but mostly on Mexico, because it was the ungrateful and treacherous Mexicans that "Stabbed us in the back" that led to the destruction of France. In September 4 after the declaration of war by Germany on the Soviet Union, France immediately declared war on Germany, then two weeks later on Mexico.​
 
Actually wait, make the North American “Entente Cordiale” as a triple alliance, that way, we can also see improved relations between the Commonwealth of Britain and the Second Mexican Empire by having the US as the meditator for peace in the region, mostly because its an alliance with two common goals: to quell the communist movements in Europe and countering the growing Japanese threat now threaten not only USA and Mexico but also the remaining Crown Colonies of the Dominion of Canada.
 
Okay, I have two questions: 1. Do you think the Spanish civil war is not going to happen 2. What do you think about Don Juan, could that also be a interesting ATL and if it did happen what would happen?

Spanish Civil War isnt gonna happen because of the close ties between Mexico and Spain itself keep Spain strong and stable.

Alternatively, I think that another place should get this treatment instead, preferrably China for its chaotic state, with a stronger supports for the pro-Mexican warlords to finally unify China for good.

Brazilian Empire too is a good choice because its monarchy has become stagnant and now the radical revolutionaries could rise again in the face of economic recession in attempt to overthrow the monarchy.

A Civil War in Brazil would also weaken the Brazilian monarchy further as it now become more dependent on Mexico to keep it alive.
