The glorious renaissance of Prussian culture. Based. It always pained me to see the once beautiful medieval German city reduced to rubble and rebuilt in the brutal, lifeless image of a Soviet city. It is concrete evidence of Nazism's crimes against German culture. Nazism tainted Germany's Prussian Heritage by intertwining their perverse movement with something so proud and glorious. It is beautiful to see Prussia, Prussian. Like their Austrian brothers, may they stay proud of their culture and safeguard it.

[@crusader2112]

Apparently, there’s a growing appreciation of Prussian culture amongst the inhabitants of Kaliningrad. I learned it from a stream I watched yesterday. Although, it was in the chat, not the stream itself. P.S. A great channel for Traditional European Architecture is The Aesthetic City. Give them a look-see. 👍

[@emilianohermosilla3996]

Reminds me of Tolkien’s thoughts on German culture, similar to the way you mentioned it. The beauty of the north German identity and it being hijacked by the n*azis.

[@Silver_Prussian]

Kaliningrad has taken it upon itself to restore much of the prussian architecture and culture that was destroyed in the war and subsequently after post war reconstruction. Granted its gonna take a while and it will never be as it once was but the prussian heritage and history will never be erased. Königsberg Cathedral was successfully restored from 1992 to 1998, in a joint Russian-German project for example

[@talrick42]

Although Prussia would be a separate state in this alternate history scenario, many people would know that Prussia - like Austria - would basically be just another unofficial German state. Meaning a BUNCH of people from Germany will likely one way or another move to Prussia, because of ancestors or the likes. And even if not move there, a whole lot of Germans would atleast visit Prussia every year and admire the state.

[@mika0668]

I personally think that the polish speaking minority in Poland wouldn't be deported. The poles that lived there were protestant, and considered themselves to be prussian, and most didnt want to become part of an catholic dominated poland. So that meant that they historically always voted to stay a part of germany, voted the NSDAP, and had even fled West together with their german speaking counterparts, when the russians arrived. Even Adolf Hitler made favourable coments about the masuren polish population. My family's name also comes from said polish minority. Please dont make the mistake of saying that the polish speaking prussians were polish, they were germans, that spoke another language.

What if marathas united India? In this alternate timeline, marathas win the Third battle of Panipat due to the maratha army not taking pilgrims with them which slowed and restricted their movements. They also managed to ally with other hindu kingdoms and with the sikhs and their army is more competently lead in battle. The afghans lose the battle in a decisive and disastrous manner with Ahemed shah Durrani being slain in the battle. So this leads to marathas securing a huge chunk of north India. Since the empire was already quite overextended so next ten years from 1761 to 1771 or 1772 ( which in our timeline, marathas spent in reconsolidating their previous holdings and resurrecting their empire) is spent in consolidating their newly acquired territories and expanding even further. In this alternate timeline, Madhav rao the first also does not contact tuberculosis while campaigning against Hyder Ali and continues to fight regional wars against the kings of Deccan as well as the british. Soon from his alliance with France, he gets to know about the fate of the native americans and how they were wiped out of their own lands. So to not wanting to see the Indian Subcontinent suffer a similar or even worse fate, he with the help of France, starts to massively modernise the army and begins to once again invest in the maratha navy like the founder of the maratha empire, Chhatrapati Shivanji Maharaj the Great did when he laid the foundation of the maratha empire. He also forms an military alliance with nizam of hydrabad and Mysore which then extends to the kingdom of Travancore. Soon states like the kingdom of Oudh, the Sikh empire, the kingdoms of Nepal, kingdom of Ahom, the Rajputana states and many other kingdoms and chieftains join this secret alliance.The Mughal empire which now was basically a puppet to any superpower in the region and which now only controled the regions of Delhi would be now forced to accept this proposal. This alliance would also be joined by the sons of the deposed Sultan of Bengal in hopes of retaking their lost throne.This alliance would then further extended to kingdoms like the Durrani empire of Afhganistan, the kingdom of Sindh and many north eastern kingdoms and tribes. The purpose of this alliance is to to restrict the control and then ultimate removal of all foreign powers from the Subcontinent.When the third Anglo-Mysore war begins, the alliance is ratified and the war soon this regional war escalates into a war where all the Indian states are united to fight the british. This is approximately at the same time when the French revolution occurs and the coalition wars began. After several Years of fighting in 1809 the British are completely pushed out of Indian Subcontinent. Soon this alliance paves the way for a united Indian government. This new government resembles the government of Imperial Germany but with a major change. While in imperial Germany, there was one Emperor whole was the first among equals and was followed by the different kings and princes of other german states. Here there will be two Emperors instead of one. One being the Maratha Peshwa ( or the peshwa-i-hind ) and the Mughal Emperor ( or shenshah-i-hind ). The Maratha peshwa would reside in the city of Poona while the Mughal Emperor would reside in the city of Delhi. However all the power will be under the Maratha Peshwa. It will seize all the territories held by the British including regions like Ceylon and Burma. Soon it wil make an deal and alliance with France in which France will cede all of its remaining territories in Subcontinent to the Hindustan confederation in exchange of alot of economic consessions and other benefits. This is the type of diplomacy Hindustan confederation tries with the Portuguese as well but when this plan fails, Hindustan confederation quickly invdes Goa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, quickly secures it and gets rid of all colonial influence by May 10th 1857 when Europe recognizes the Hindustan confederation as a legitimate government. Initially France would be Hindustan confederation's greatest ally. Hindustan confederation follows a path of industrialization along the line of the japanese model of 'Japanese spirit, Western technology'. As soon as Hindustan confederation becomes industrialized enough to expand even further, they are met with their two rivals, Great Britain with whom they would wrestle over to gain the Supreme control over the Indian ocean and with Russia with whom Hindustan confederation would have massive border skirmishes and disputes over the central asia region. This would culminate into the Indo-russian war of 1874 inwhich Hindustan confederation with massive support from France would defeat the russians because the Russian Empire would still be going through a complete army rehaul after their loss in the Crimean war. This would propel the nascent Hindustan confederation into one of the world's leading powers akin to what happened to Japan after their victory against the russians. As the Second French Empire collapses and Imperial Germany rises, Hindustan confederation begins to allign itself more and more with the teutons as the French begin to align themselves with the British and the Russians. So, when world war 1 starts in 1914, Hindustan confederation quickly joins the central powers. This alternate world war ends in a complete failure for the entente as without India, Great Britain just doesn't have the resources, funds and manpower needed to fight such a long grueling war while the Hindustan confederation opens up a new front not only for the british but to most importantly against the russians. This leafs to central power victory in 1917 as Russia collapses much faster and the british just are not able to cope with fighting the war on so many different fronts. Hindustan would annex several European colonies in the Indian ocean and Indo-pacific region and would gain the Supremacy of the Indian ocean. Hindustan confederation would play a massive role in the following Russian civil war where it would annex a lot of territories and would turn rest of central asia in a bunch of puppet buffer states. In the 1920's and 1930's, it begins to ally itself with Japan as both nations together would invade, conquer and split china in 1936. During this alternate world war 2, Hindustan confederation amd Japan would jointly invade and carve up the European colonies as they would would be busy fighting each other and together they would participate in this alternate operation Barbarossa with Japan invading from the east and Hindustan confederation striking from the south. They would together crave out asia between themselvesa and now with sizable asia under their control and with the support of the Hindustan confederation, Japan wins the war of Pacific against the USA. After some 20 years of peace on the Asian continent, the Japanese empire would begin to collapse due to overextension ad due to continously rebellions by the subdued populations. Hindustan confederation would support such rebellions as it would further spread the Hindustani influence all across the Asian continent.As the Japanese empire collapses on itself, Hindustan confederation takes it's place as the Supreme power of the Asian continent.

“Kaliningrad” if it was based

[@FloridaGentlemen]

I came up with a similar scenario a while back. Except I had a much more hostile Polish and Lithuanian reaction that leads to a brief war to ensure Prussia can not reunite with Germany. With the 90s being a time of liberalization and investment from Germany in industry and tourism, then beginning in the 2000s having them take on path similar to Russia, with a former Soviet army officer coming to power and gradually turning the Republic in to wierd mix of Prussian nationalism, communist nostalgia, and Nazi esque policies, such as segregation of polish and Lithuanians in the state, and becoming a strong supporter of Russia. They would also act as middle men in trade deals between Germany and Russia during the current Ukraine war, especially in the sale of Russian gas.

If I was stalin I would have argued for the creation of a prussian socialist republic with border akin to what it had in 1815 without rhineland possesions obviously. I would have also enforeced a strong propaganda narrative that the german-prussians were fundamentally different from the ones in west germany and that they are not the same as them, that they were a victim of nazism and pan germanism. Promiting the of strong irredentism and prussian nationalism, put some emphasis on the historic slavic element (Obotrites) of eastern german ethnogenis to increase the sentiment that its only rational to be Druzya (friends) with the soviet union. All of that would have made it impossible for germany to reunify.Why ? Because we would be witnessing vast changes in national identity not merely ideolohical strugle between communism and capitalism in two german states. West germans of would be meeting people who refuse to be recognised as part of the same kin as them, they woudl argue that they are unique and different, regardless of their shared history.
