What if Germany had won World War 1?
[WORLD OF KAISERREICH: GERMAN EMPIRE]
The World of Kaiserreich is an animated video series explaining the lore of the Hearts of Iron mod Kaiserreich. In the alt-history timeline of Kaiserreich, a German victory in WW1 changes the world as we know it.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the titular Kaiserreich in 1919 and 1939. After winning the Great War, an era of hope and reconstruction quickly gives way to a new dark age in Europe. Germany has defeated Britain, France and Russia, but at what cost? The collapse of the British and French colonial empires is spilling over into German holdings. And from the broken shells of their former enemies, a new and more dangerous foe has risen: The spectre of Syndicalism now haunting Europe.

Right? I thought a lot about commenting it because I didn't want to hate on the voice actor but they should have hired a real German to do the voice over.

I know this out of context because I’m talking about it in the comments section of a German video for this mod but I got this idea of a 6th faction for the second American civil war. This faction is based on the idea that a Native American soldier is able to unite the various different people’s of the Native Americans under one banner whose only goal is to take back the black mountains and some of the lands from U.S. using the confusion of the second civil war to do so, of course this just my idea for a cool faction to see.

[@Chillerll]

Funny enough, I just watched a 2 hour video about the history of native Americans. I agree it would be a cool faction but the reality is in the 1930s there are just not enough native Americans left to fight any of the other factions. It would be too unrealistic and just become a meme faction instead of a meaningful representation of native Americans in kaiserreich. Maybe in kaiserredux though.
