Teddy found the Regent to be a easy person to get along with. He had Little desire to remain as Regent but felt that His nephew was not suited to be Kaiser. In fact the Empire was a balancing act and the Hohenzollern had a weak hold on Germany as a result of the Fall..

The reemergence of Russia was a concern to the European countries which were shaking off the last effects of the Great Fall. The Austrian Empire had had a tight grip on the Balkans and had driven the Ottoman Empire out of Europe. It had taken the Holy lands and had made plenty of Changes . It had convinced the Prussians to support the return of a Polish Kingdom thus creating a buffer state next to Russia. Would the Prussians dominate the new Germany or would the power shift to the Bavarian's. Wilhelm II had died and his younger brother had been made head of the Council of Regents.

Nice timeline so far. I want to see more of what happens to countries like the Khanate of Kiva, Armenia and Georgia. It would be interesting.

The Fall really created major problems for Russia with the result that Russia lost its grip on both Georgia and Armenia. The Fall also saw the Austrians push the Ottomans out of the Balkans and the Austrians also pushed into the Holy Lands and pushed the Ottomans out of both it and Lebanon . The Austrian Empire thus dominated the region but had no desire to swallow up either Georgia or Armenia. Instead it reached out to help and trade.

chris N · Dec 26, 2023

I believe that the Khanate of Kiva would have seen the Russian forces take total control of the region in the aftermath of the Great Fall as the Russians sought to control areas that might survive the cold winters that were to come.
