I'm placing this here since this is when the PoD occurs. This is the basic premise:
-Kaiser Wilhelm I dies earlier,
2 June 1878
-Kaiser Frederick III assumes the throne earlier as Frederick I
-William II fails to become Kaiser (either stillborn, or is born a girl)
-Henry becomes Kaiser after Frederick III, either in 1888 or slightly later
-Henry married
Princess Elisabeth and has children by her.
The questions are:
-How's this affect the development of the German Empire?
-By 1914, if all else remains the same outside Germany, and Archduke Ferdinand still gets shot, how does Germany react to Austria-Hungary, and do they still ally with them? (or does this require Willam II to become Kaiser?)
-Assuming Henry becomes the Kaiser, and WW1 happens, how does he run the war, and which side will he take?
-Would Henry abdicate instead of fighting to the end, and sue for peace?
-What kind of peace would Henry get for his country?
-How does this post-war Germany develop? Still monarchy, or as a republic?
