All hail the emperor

Kaiser was cool but modern germany's doing a redemption arc

Have you ever heard of the story of Otto Von Based (He was Prussian, but he United Germany, so he still counts)

East Germany in a nutshell

Gave everyone food water house jobs clothes

The only thing the kaiser gave was gas

East Germany was communist, and a soviet puppet. Had so many people leave for both West Germany and West Berlin they had to build a wall/militarised border.

The German empire/Prussia, on the other hand, was widely accepted to be one of the most powerful nations in the world, introduced a new system of bureaucracy that was previously unparalleled, and the education system was widely recognised as the best in the world

The first sentence, I believe is quite self-explanatory

Prussia was, at the time, the most (or second most) powerful nation in the world when it came to land forces. They beat the entire French army in 6 months, and were only stopped from annexing France so as to keep the moral high ground and to keep their status with countries like Britain and Russia. The German empire lost WW1 due to a combination of three things--Poor leadership in Moltke the younger for the first year of the war, Poor management of international relations resulting in a two-front war (Even then knocking Russia out of the fight and ending the Russian empire), and lack of Manpower compared to the French and British, who could draw upon their colonial reserves.

The education system was Standardised long before many other countries and graduates had to join either the military or work in industry for a similar period, giving them important skills (at the time).

The use of veterans as tax collectors is particularly interesting. I'm about halfway through it and will hopefully be able to finish it this weekend, thanks for sharing.
