Hi there
I fear that the 'how we got here' question will be quite important to answer this particular query, but I will push on regardless.
If the Kaiserreich is restored at some point in the 20s or 30s, who would be plausible as a regent; would there be one person, or would there be some sort of regency council?
While Hindenburg's interpretation of a restoration was that Kaiser Wilhelm II. would come back and take up exactly where he left off in 1918, I don't see this as likely, and am not sure about Kronprinz Wilhelm being able to just take the throne: that ignores the complications of a federal German monarchy, the fact that the old Kaiser would still be alive, as well as political opinion both internally and abroad.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Amartus
