The German Civil War is a conflict that begins on October 27, 1963, around 3 weeks after the death of [[Adolf Hitler]] in [[Greater Germanic Reich|Germany]]. This war has immediate and long-lasting consequences that, in the short term, signals the collapse of [[Germany|German]] influence around the globe.
Line 107 ⟶ 106:
After the end of the [[World War II|Second World War]], many within the German government were assured that the victories and successes of the [[Greater Germanic Reich|Reich]] would last forever, securing the Endsieg it was destined to inherit. Within the first few years after victory, the taste of glory was already in the hands of the Thousand Year Reich, and with the construction of [[Germania]] and various other infrastructure projects and continued economic prosperity, it really did seem as though German hegemony would last forever.
=== 1950s Economic Collapse, Formation of the
Despite the illusion of eternal glory, the economic crash of the 50s impacted the Reich enormously from the average citizen to the most influential echelons of government in the Volkshalle.
Line 116 ⟶ 115:
Standing in stark contrast to Speer's reformist movement, [[Martin Bormann]] and his fellow conservative party bureaucrats believed that the National Socialist system would stand the test of time, advocating for only the most minor of reforms while keeping the traditions and orthodoxy of [[National Socialism]] alive.
=== The West Russian War, Schutzstaffel Rebellion and formation of the
As the [[West Russian War]] raged on later in the 50s, however, [[Heinrich Himmler]], Reichsführer of the [[SS]], increasingly became displeased and skeptical of the National Socialist cause he had fought for. He decided that the party had grew degenerate and that a new pure form of [[National Socialism]] had to emerge, giving way to a renewed age of prosperity by further increasing the methods of brutality used to punish dissidents and undesirables.
Line 181 ⟶ 180:
Despite how all this makes influence sound like the more important aspect to look for, legitimacy too plays a role in the civil war in the form of a national spirit "titled State of Our Legitimacy". If one side has a high amount legitimacy points, this will buff the spirit, whereas if one side has less or a low amount of legitimacy, that spirit becomes a debuff to the faction. The national spirit affect political power gain, production efficiency caps, training time, planning speed and daily compliance gain, each percentage changing depending on the amount of legitimacy one side has.

Line 250 ⟶ 249:
[[File:German SS Civil War.webp|thumb|332x332px|Map of the SS Civil War.]]
In a [[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]] victory scenario, [[Germany]] is now under the boot of the [[Schutzstaffel|SS]], with the approval of [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]] and the rest of [[Burgundy]]'s government. Despite this, however, a chain of events will end up worsening the relations between the two [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] leaders, with [[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]] disgusted and horrified at [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]]'s plans for nuclear annihilation in the name of the Aryan race, driving him to go against his former ally and plunging [[Germany]] into a new state of de facto division in what's known as the [[SS Civil War]], in which various factions of the [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] and the rest of the [[Germany|German]] political scene take up parts of the country for themselves, being given the choice to either join [[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]] or [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]], both of which are trying to stockpile nuclear missiles for themselves, for in [[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]]'s case he will stop [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]] from annihilating the world, whereas in [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]]'s case he wants to annihilate the world.
=== Foreign changes ===
==== Speer and Bormann ====
Though domestically both take drastically different political paths and directions in governing, diplomatically [[Albert Speer|Speer]] and [[Martin Bormann|Bormann]] policies are quite similar in actions, especially in the presumably ongoing [[South African War]] upon their victory in the civil war. Both have the options to either commit volunteers to the Afrika-Schild and the African Reichskommissariats, or to simply abandon their allies and withdraw forces from the war entirely. Depending whichever option is chosen and if a Schild-leaning or complete Schild victory is achieved, choosing to support the Reichskommissariats will allow the [[Afrikaner Volkstaat]] to join the [[Einheitspakt|Pakt]] as a full member under [[Pieter Willem Botha]] after the [[Reichskommissariat Ostafrika|Reichstaat]]'s collapse, whereas abandoning the Schild if the Schild wins will result in the Volkstaat being led by [[Jaap Marais]] after [[Albert Hertzog|Hertzog]]'s resignation, choosing to maintain a neutral foreign policy.
Outside of Africa, both Führers will aim to reestablish [[Germany|German]] hegemony in the former Reichskommissariats of Central and Eastern Europe, invading or reintegrating (if the governments are compatible) in what can generally be split into phases. The first phase will include reintegrating the [[Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia]] (Wehrkreis XIX), [[Denmark]], the [[Reichskommissariat Niederlande|Netherlands]] and [[Slovak Republic|Slovakia]], the second involves [[Generalgouvernement|Poland]], [[Reichskommissariat Norwegen|Norway]] and [[Reichskommissariat Ostland|Ostland]], the third on [[Reichskommissariat Ukraine|Ukraine]], the fourth in [[Reichskommissariat Moskowien|Moskowien]] and the final phase in [[Reichskommissariat Kaukasien|Kaukasien]], though there are subtle differences in which governments can be reintegrated or left with no choice but invasion depending on the outcomes of the power struggles in these countries (except [[Reichskommissariat Moskowien|Moskowien]], which will always be reinvaded no matter the outcome of the [[Moskowien Dissolution]]).
Beyond the reclamation of their spheres, both will seek a détente with [[United States of America|America]] and [[Japan]] (though [[Martin Bormann|Bormann]] may choose not to with [[Japan]]), though both will conduct their détentes differently based on their choices beforehand.
[[Albert Speer|Speer]] can choose to have a détente with [[United States of America|America]] (if he chooses to appeal more to the reformists) by sending [[Helmut Schmidt|Schmidt]] or by going himself ([[Helmut Schmidt|Schmidt]]'s meeting discusses a lot more ideological disputes and cultural niches, whereas [[Albert Speer|Speer]] is more pragmatic and talks more about trade and the possibility of reform), both culminating in the Toronto Accords. [[Martin Bormann|Bormann]] will visit America purely to end the embargo and hopefully join together against [[Japan]] in the [[Cold War]], meeting the president (with a different event per each president) to further cement his thaw in relations, which itself can also have a possibility to fail or succeed.
In [[Japan]], [[Albert Speer|Speer]] can choose to have a détente with them over [[United States of America|America]] (if he leans conservative), which focuses on the old ties they had as fellows [[Axis Powers|Axis]] co-belligerents in the [[World War II|Second World War]] and lifting trade barriers between the two empires, while [[Martin Bormann|Bormann]] has a choice to either pursue a policy of détente with [[Japan]] or to build ties with other Middle Eastern and south Asian nations against [[Japan]]'s interests.
==== Göring ====
''Main article: [[Göring Expanded]]''
Prior to removal (and being turned into a [[Göring Expanded|submod]]), [[Hermann Göring|Göring]]'s content was infamously known to allow a [[Germany|German]] hegemony not only in Europe, but across the entire world.
Just like his more level-headed adversaries [[Albert Speer|Speer]] and [[Martin Bormann|Bormann]], [[Hermann Göring|Göring]] also has the option to help the Schild in [[South Africa]], and similarly will reconquer former [[Einheitspakt|Pakt]] domains in Europe, but unlike the first two, his militarist allies will force him to go beyond and conquer every single country in the world he comes across with their War Plans, turning them into Reichskommissariats or puppet regimes under the [[Germany|Reich]]. Some operations among the War Plans are even given the special "Fall" (meaning Case in German) designation due to their magnitude or significance (Fall Blau for [[Iberian Union|Iberia]], Fall Rot for Russia, Fall Schwarz for [[Burgundy]], Fall Wiking for dealing with the [[OFN]]'s Northern Flank, Fall Amazon for [[Brazil]], Fall Venedig for [[Colombia]] and [[Venezuela]], Fall Rockwell for [[United States of America|America]] and Fall Dammerung for [[Japan]]). Either way, his entire foreign policy revolves around conquest and avoiding nuclear war by capitulating everyone as quickly as possible (lest [[Ferdinand Schörner|Schörner]] coups him).
In the end, one of three things happen: nuclear war between the [[Germany|Reich]] and another nuclear power, [[Ferdinand Schörner|Schörner]] launches a coup d'etat against [[Hermann Göring|Göring]], or [[Hermann Göring|Göring]]'s plans work out successfully and [[Germany]] dominates the world entirely.
==== Heydrich ====
[[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]]'s content is extremely concentrated around the divisions in the [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] and dealing with Himmler as well as the [[SS Civil War]], which gives little room for any foreign diplomacy. The only interactions with a foreign power in a Heydrich run will be with the former Reichskommissariats to send volunteers or give support to [[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]] or [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]]'s faction (or in the case of [[Reichskommissariat Kaukasien|Kaukasien]], neither at all), while the rest of the world is given a backseat in any gameplay interactions with the new Führer. Upon the end of the [[SS Civil War]] and [[Reinhard Heydrich|Heydrich]]'s suicide leading to the complete destruction of order in [[Germany]] however, the [[Germany|Reich]] will forever lose its superpower status, unable to participate in future proxy wars and turning the [[Cold War]] from a three-sided conflict into a two-sided one between [[United States of America|America]] and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]]. Should [[Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]] win the [[SS Civil War]], the nukes produced by [[Burgundy|Burgundian]] arsenals will fire, causing worldwide nuclear war and the destruction of civilisation as a whole, ending the game.
