| Unfortunately, plenty of writers get wrapped up in some... //rather questionable// notions of what the aftermath of a Central Powers victory in WWI would be like, what it would mean for European politics, society, economics, culture and science. Often, authors forget that scenarios within a realistic framework need to keep that level of realism for good and bad, and engage in either overly dystopian or nakedly wish-fulfillment outcomes, with little logic or facts behind either. | Unfortunately, plenty of writers get wrapped up in some... //rather questionable// notions of what the aftermath of a Central Powers victory in WWI would be like, what it would mean for European politics, society, economics, culture and science.

| On this page, we'll mostly cover the "A CP victory would make Europe/the world an utopia !" [[ah cliches|AH clichés]]. Believe it or not, they seem to be //more common// and pervasive than the clichés involving everything descending into dystopia after a CP victory. The logic behind this AH cliché in a nutshell: In a world where the Central Powers have won [[pods:WWI]], it's nigh impossible to not have a German-led Zollverein in Europe.
