So, assume WW1 or WW2 go worse for Germany. How much territory could be removed from Germany without crippling her to the point where she could never recover? And what are the key regions that the country MUST control in order to remain a great power?
For example, is a Germany that loses both the Rhineland to France and all of Lower Silesia to Poland after WW1 a Germany that could stand any chance in an alt-ww2? Or are those industrial regions simply too important to German power?
