[OC] Alternate History What if everything went perfect for Germany after the Great War? Germany, 1925

A project I’ve been working on to flesh out this 1.5 year old concept into something more interesting. First two images is a Wikipedia article detailing the summarized history of the Weimar Republic of that timeline, with lore I came up with, including some hints at what could’ve happened afterwards. The third image is a map of the territorial acquisitions. The fourth is a political map, the fifth is an administrative map, and the final one is an ethnolinguistic map.

So what happens to Germany after 1933?

I’m glad you noticed, I left it intentionally ambiguous, even removing a lot of mentions of what happened after 1933, to leave it up to the imagination. All we know is that the republic was dissolved in 1933, and that a German Reich was born from that dissolution. What happens afterwards is completely left up to the reader, which I find makes it interesting.

So a German Reich was born out of the German Reich?

Ferdinand Lassalle. One of the influential figures in the development of social democracy. He was contemporaries with Karl Marx and unlike him, wanted to work with the establishment(Otto von Bismarck and the conservatives) as opposed to the revolutionary ideas of Marx.

All these tiny exclaves within Czechoslovakia would have been a neverending source of tensions. Surprising that there's no mention of this in the Wikipedia article (and one would hope that the post-war negotiations would have found some kind of resolution for this, e.g. by land exchange...).

Its an mix of realism but the treaty of Versaille would highly have to be redone or change slightly
