Third German Empire (Classic)

Third German Empire

The Third German Empire is the 6th incarnation of the German nation. The nation was founded by a compromise between Kaiser Schober of Austria and Chancellor Paper of Germany, nominally uniting the two states into one political unit permanently for the first time since January, 3 months prior. While fixing the issue of German dualism, it remained somewhat decentralized compared to all prior regimes. That said, it continued the Anchluss.

History

Foundation

Treaty of Vienna

The treaty of Vienna nominally unified the Reformed German State, reestablished by Chancellor Paper 3 days prior, and the remnants of the 2nd German Empire, known as Austro-Germany. The treaty split Germany into two distinct imperial states, Deutschland and Austerreich. The two states each had a sovereign kaiser, but were bound militarily and by the High Chancellor. The nation, nontheless, was far weaker than it was just 3 months prior, having a small fraction of the population, and losing most colonial possessions.
