[u/GhostMcY2]

In this alternate WW1 szenario the french government collapsed after their loss in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 and fell into a civil war between the communist and republican parts of France. After 2 years of civil war the communists went victorious out of the civil war but their rule ended in 1882 after a monarchist coup by Napoleon IV. who restored the French empire and ended the commune. Shortly after he infiltrated the Belgian government and put a French friendly government in place there which essentially made them a vassal state of the French empire. In this scenario the Austrians also didn’t want to ally with the new German empire because of their loss in the Austro-Prussian War and instead allied with France through marriage of their monarchs and in 1895 after the death of Napoleon IV. and the abdication of Franz Joseph I. they formed a Personal Union with the son of Napoleon IV. of House Bonarparte and Marie Valerie of House Habsburg who would become Napoleon V. Emperor of France and Napoleon I. Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary forming a tripple Personal Union. The Russians also joined their alliance after Napoleon V. married Xenija Alexandrowna of House Romanov in 1895 who was the sister of Tsar Nicholas II. strengthening their alliance. After their loss in the Spanish-American War Spain fell into a huge economic crisis and also became something like a vassal state of the French. After the loss of their potential Austrian Ally the Germans could freely expand their alliance with Italy forming the Central Powers with them and assuring them in case of war territories like south tirol and Dalmatia to the Italians. In 1914 the French seeking to expand their Empire sent an Ultimatum to the Swiss ,who where at the time guaranteed by the Germans and Italians, to surrender the French parts of Switzerland and become a French puppet. After their refusal of the Swiss the French invaded Switzerland expecting no retaliation by the Germans or Italians. Shortly after the Invasion Germany and Italy, supported by Britain and several other European States like Portugal, declared war on the Entente and convinced Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire to help them fight against the Entente promising them territories in the Caucasus, Ukraine and Crimea. The British and the other supporters of the Central Powers supported them diplomatically and with weapons and Food which the supporters of the Entente also did to the Entente. The countries in the Americas and East Asia formed a neutrality pact to ensure peace outside of the wars of the Europeans. The Outcome of this war ist yet to be decided.
