What if Germany Collapsed after WW1 | Hoi4

while many thought the Great War would see a Victorious Nation just like on the front lines all that occurred was destruction the onun powers almost fell into civil war with the only thing stopping them from collapsing being reactionary military coup Russia wouldn't be as lucky with a huge Civil War splitting the country in two however Germany would face the hardest consequence having run out of food during the war a spartacist revolution exploded the country into a Civil War as soon as the Great War stopped however our Revolution failed and as the dust settled we at least had control over three states in the east of Germany with several rivals in the rest of the country from Social Democrat capitalists in Berlin a military hun in Essen and Bolshevik in bararia but despite having failed under the leadership of the Spartacus BND we will bounce back from the ruins to create a new socialist and strong Germany how ever before the first Congress of the Bund can be held to decide the direction on how this will be achieved we need to solidify our control over region because there are still many reactionaries running around and ruining our Revolution but due to our socialist militias being disorganized we haven't been able to deal with them luckily it isn't hard to reorganize them since we've already worked to organize our whole Revolution so the resistance could be crushed and we could even seize the means of production from the cap capitalists who support them thus with our territory under control the first Congress can be held everyone from the political spectrum of the left showed up from social Democrats to National socialists however no one could outmaneuver our current leader Rosa Luxembourg it is she who started a revolution and it is she who will finish it to celebrate her reelection a great speech was held uniting Us in raising War support for the coming liberation of Germany now despite the social Democrats and National socialists holding some power that could hurt our rule we don't have time to purge them right now because the beginning of the path to reunification is close and together we must all focus on this one objective so we raised production of weapons who will be supplied to our growing numbers of revolutionary militias but since we still lack Weaponry especially compared to the bigger production of the capitalists we entered negotiations with the Russian sfsr so far the most successful Revolution on a large scale they agreed to send over 500 of the Russian produced rifles as a gesture of Goodwill and we invited some of their industrial experts to exchange expertise with the training of 37,000 more soldiers soon finished we are closing in on the start date of reunification but despite the short time left Rosa decided to purge the Social Democrat imposters to raise stability and War support as well as destroying their chances to collabor at with the SPD capitalists in our West but after this we started walking the path of reunification around us are two enemies we have to deal with in the first stage of the wars the capitalists and the Polish who have taken over schen after having to retreat from their Mainland due to Mikel tokashi since the Polish Liberation Army is the weakest of the two we will begin with them by contacting German partisans we significantly reduce their ability to defend and so conf ident we crossed the deao border to crush the Hun however despite the sabotage the first polish defensive line was difficult to breach and we had to attack with the full force of our army to advance into our first Province fortunately despite them trying to organize a fighting Retreat our speed only increased after the first breakthrough while we failed to fully utilize our motorized forces to encircle their troops we still Advanced and soon we had reached all the way to gleitz defeating the last part of the Polish Liberation Army we immediately started the process to integrate the territory which wouldn't take long since the Polish have only been here for a few years all we had to do was to mostly blow up some of their monuments we then sent our army to fight the capitalists but due to their probably stronger Army we will need some more time to prepare by contacting sympathetic leftists in their territories we've already been able to lower their War support and stability and having found old weapons Depot we were able to equip seven more infantry divisions once they were all deployed in our army reached 160,000 men we declared war on the capitalist Republic to finish our revolution in the north straight away an offensive was launched towards the capital of Germany which for some reason wasn't strongly defended so by attacking on the flanks we could stop most reinforcements and after only 12 days Berlin was ours the capitalists had started several attacks in other regions to try and compensate for their loss but they led to nothing else than giving us the opportunity for further offensives once again in the Berlin area we captured the forest north of the city which rapidly led to the encirclement of three divisions in V after crushing them we didn't slow down as our motorized finally found a gap to exploit they arrived all the way to the outskirts of rostok only being stopped by a single Garrison however it didn't stop us from ins circling another two divisions leading to a total of 82,000 losses for the capitalists we took a quick pause but having reached the favor Terrain in meberg our momentum was soon back together with our infantry the motorized forces succeeded in encircling Roso and stund despite some shakiness once we tried to close the encirclement we got back on our feet and could soon launch another offensive this one was quickly a success since we learned them to defend magur and not Hamburg and kill allowing us to capture the cities almost for free this left the Republic extremely close to capitulation so close in fact that all we had to do was to capture magur and drive down south to viar after which the capitalists fled leaving the people of Northern Germany finally free however we still need to integrate them into our state we've already started moving all our institutions to Berlin since this is our official capital and by turning the sped voters of the West to our true socialism we were able to quickly get majority compliance in the region to fully core it this huge Victory not only elevated our morale over our enemies but it also led to several industrial and scientific victories with the addition of the important Berlin and Hamburg universities our research and development of new weapons has gone through a revolution and our spike in military production has allowed us to equip for example artillery to our divisions an increase in Manpower has also allowed us to start training seven more divisions to fill the first Army under command of Herman guring and field Marshall thelman and so we are now more than ready to finish the unification War because there doesn't seem to be anyone left that can rival us we started with the Revolutionary traitors in Northwestern Germany despite having to cross a river our newly upgraded divisions easily won the battles and their army was soon split in two some difficult Urban Warfare would take place as they desperately try to defend themselves from the real Revolution but eventually even their most defended buildings would fall while not that industrial the region is highly important nonetheless because with it we can open up trade to the world from our previous economic isolation which means a stronger economy overall but even before we could see its great benefits the next War started now against the madman himler and his esoteric ideas since they already were at war against the High corpse we only met about half of their army which allowed us to easily capture their biggest cities and despite some efforts to defend meland to the last man the horrifying regime of the SS will never be an important part of History directly after defeating them we declared war on the fry corpse reactionary hun despite it being winter we saw our quickest Victory yet nurenberg was encircled and crushed which caused chaos in their front line allowing us to capture venberg almost freely and leading to the recapitulation this left only one state left before we have reunited Germany the Bavarian Soviet republic since day two are socialists we prepared to offer them unification so that war could be avoided during this time we worked towards integrating the two new regions which would prove to be harder than in the north but by executing the most fanatic reactionaries we were still able to get full control over the region our proposal had now reached the bavarians but unlike what we had hoped for they declined forcing us to declare war on them fortunately the war was quickly over with only 1,000 casualties on our side and so Germany is finally United again and this time under socialism we declared the folks Republic deuts land and celebrations for a month but after they were over we realized just how much work we had to do despite all of the country being integrated and our industry having absolutely skyrocketed as a cause of this because our economy is still suffering from unification Malay and our people are still in poverty but Rosa and the buun had already anticipated this so in preparation the National Socialist and their leader rbent trop had been completely ridden from all Public Power which means significant action can be taken so a post reunification recovery plan was immediately put in place and acted upon its main goal was to tackle the poverty crisis by transitioning our new States from a capitalist to a spartacist system which will almost immediately redistribute wealth to the poor by investing into roads and more production centers the prices of our Goods became cheaper and our exports bigger which granted our state more income which could be used to support the poor and remove the transition troubles this means our recovery plan has now lost its purpose and we must draft a new plan we will create our first foure plan that consists of both civilian and more importantly military industrial expansion the civilian part of it will mostly be handled in the background but two important parts worth highlighting is investments into new railway lines and an expansion of our mining sector to fuel the growing amount of resources needed for our factories but now that everything works well at home and our revolution has been Victorious for us it is time to spread it to the rest of Europe the question is together with who we could join the Russian Sr uniting in a red front however our ideology are diverging after Stalin replaced Lenin so Rosa decided to instead proclaim the European revolutionary front this of course means we won't get help from the Russian army making it necessary for us to expand ours therefore we expanded our recruitment to extensive conscription doubling our Manpower we had also created the red Air Force which was put in place thanks to our scientists the first goal of our new faction is to spread socialism to the greater Balkan region starting with Austria to help us out we will invite the Hungarian Soviet Republic whom we will promise lands in Slovakia if they help us and create a twoof front war against the austrians they were more than happy to join and so we started our campaign to bring the revolution to new places [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the by [Music] [Music] on after fighting and winning against four nations we've annexed all German states that are Austrian or further south our Hungarian Ally have also greatly expanded their National borders but maybe best of all is that socialism has been spread to three new nations however we are not done yet and there is still some German lands left to liberate most significantly those controlled by the military directorate of tokashi once our army which is now over 1 million men strong had prepared we declared war on his regime not only to liberate Germans but also to save the polish from them since we together with the hungarians have a far bigger Army than tokashi we attacked from every single part of the front together with our Air Force attacking from the sky losing battles was rare and we soon arrived to Warsaw soon we sent in our motorized forces to drive into Belarus despite the low Supply in the region they did increase our offensive actions and even encircled the majority of tash's army just before we entered Minsk forcing the military directorate to capitulate even though we could take all its lands we only annexed our German territories and established a Polish People's Republic because the Bell Russian states were given away to Stalin to not create tensions between us we now stand free to do whatever we want as what would be our greatest enemy the French have crumbled under their High Ambitions and faulty ideology of revolutionary conservatism they've in fact lost Paris to the Spaniards and are about to capitulate what we decided to do with this Freedom was look to the north not necessarily since this land is of any significance but because Sweden has already seen its revolution and if they join as our Ally we could help spread it to the rest of the Scandinavian countries just like Hungary they were more than happy to join and so we straight away began making our promise a reality by declaring war on Denmark using our motorized forces utland was rapidly ours and we were even so false that we weren't able to blow up the bridges to share land Island which made it possible for us to assist the Swedish in capturing Copenhagen the peace deal went just as expected except that Hungary annexed Greenland as a colony next up we attacked Norway where we had sent our motorized and a whole infantry Army despite knowing they would suffer a lot from supply issues but this mattered little as Oslo was captured in the first days of the war which left all of Western Norway essentially unprotected then after Trondheim fell to our forces the Norwegian government capitulated and its nation was annexed by Sweden during this war Rosa had announced the preparations for a revolution to March West but this time we didn't get the same reaction of nothing like usual instead the new Spanish Empire feeling extremely threatened by a rightful expansionism started searching for other nations feeling the same and they did find a lot of them of course their puppets of France and the Netherlands then Switzerland who knew about their invasion plans Venice and Republican Italy also joined and finally the strongest of them all was the British Empire we are not really sure why they joined but they are now considered an enemy of the revolution in preparation for this huge War we doubled our amount of motorized divisions to a total of 20 we also prepared our Air Force training our 320 aircrafts to a regular level more isn't needed since due to our Superior industry we know that we will have air superiority and so with our army of 1.38 million men already we declared war on this new onon the war didn't start with any huge battles our enemies were too scared to attack and our generals too cautious since we are out man the thing that will bring us Victory this war isn't our amount of forces but the quality of them and so we decided to start the first battle in the most unimportant part of the war Venice but before we were ready the onon started their first attack across the whole front this was mostly a suicidal Mission as the only areas where they could break through we could also send in our spare motorized to defend and so we had already caused a huge amount of casualties to our enemy but back to Venice now the only nation who has sent them help was the UK but they weren't ready for such a concentrated attack so our motorized were easily able to capture Venice making the Venetian government capitulate and leaving the British forces to be destroyed with this complete Victory we decided to try if we could replicate it on the main front in the Netherlands at first it didn't look promising but once our infantry joined the battles we broke through and could reach Amsterdam and the hake in a few hours having cut off northern Netherlands from the rest of the onon allowed us to secure this part easily we then had a harder battle to enter rdam But by outflanking the city and capturing breida rdam was soon captured and the Dutch puppet regime capit capul at we used this capitulation to capture some Belgian lands but Brussel was not captured before we decided to switch our offensive actions elsewhere this elsewhere is in Switzerland because if we succeed here we know the war is won so we sent down all our motorized for an offensive on Zur the battle was hard since we had to cross the rine however our enemies had made one fatal mistake not having enough reinforcements which allowed us to at one point cross the river and capture the the rest went by extremely quickly we split the mountainous nation in two destroying all forces in the East and then captured be which led to the Swiss capitulation so with the Swiss government completely kicked out of their mountainous home Victory on the road trip to Spain is almost guaranteed and it starts back in Belgium [Music] [Music] after Dr driving all the way to Gibralter and millions of deaths the only enemy left is the island of the British Empire while their large Navy technically stops us from invading them we have a new military invention to skip the English Channel all together paratroopers several hundreds of Transport planes have been built to drop our 12 paratrooper divisions over England to capture the ports of Plymouth port smth and over since we of course have air superiority we launched our prairat Troopers as soon as they were ready in the matter of a few hours the lonely garrisons in Portsmouth and over were destroyed and we had secured our three ports the next days as British reinforcements arrived we United the two Landings and sent over our motorized they arrived just in time to stop the British forces from pushing our paratroopers back as soon as we had set up the motorized for offensive action we attacked and quickly overwhelmed the British exactly what occurred is unnecessary because after London was encircled and captured they stood no chance to come back and soon even before reaching Scotland the British government lost in the anant capitulated the new borders of Europe that were drawn up have spread spartac ISM to almost all of it we annexed Northern Italy Switzerland and the Benelux while puppeting and establishing communist regimes in the rest of our former enemies territories but Europe wasn't all we had to decide of your colonies as well what we decided to do was to create two decentralized communist regimes one with all African territories and one spanning from Madagascar to taiti and so spartac ISM has been established as the world leading ideology we started in the east of Berlin spreading it to all of Germany and then the rest of Europe thanks so much for watching and see you in the next video which will hopefully be the 1,000 subscriber special
