What if Germany won World War 1? And what if World War 2 was right around the corner?
On February 3, 1936 the Berlin stock market collapsed. The centre of global trade and the seat of the world’s most powerful empire fell into economic ruin, dooming millions to poverty and setting in motion the terrifying gears of war. One year on from that dark day, nations around the world are still reeling from the impacts of this financial downfall, and the terrible gears have continued to turn. With the world inching ever closer to a second global war, every nation faces an uncertain future, and every person a nearly impossible challenge: to plan their lives in the face of that future.
In this alternate history, based on a popular modification for the best-selling Hearts of Iron computer game series, the United States never entered World War 1, and Germany wound up winning the war, known forever after as the Weltkrieg. Yet even in this timeline, the same forces of nationalism, imperialism, colonialism, ideology, and economic suffering that helped give rise to our World War Two threatens to birth another Weltkrieg. A tour of the world one year on from the collapse of the German economy, this collection of short stories sets the stage for the conflict to come: they are the prelude to the Second Weltkrieg.
Karl Schreiber, a university student called home for the funeral of his grandfather; Zheng Hui, a peasant farmer seeing off her husband for a trip to the nearest village; Mary Hernandez, a woman just trying to keep clothes on her back and food in her stomach; Ilya Mikhailov, a political operative pursuing his dream and looking out for his family – on their own each character lives a relatively normal life that threatens to be turned upside down by powers beyond their control. Put together they paint a portrait of history’s awesome power to shape our everyday world, even if it’s not the world we know.
