Kaiserreich Documentary: Bulgaria
Project Overview
This fictional Kaiserreich Documentary series explores the alt-history timeline of the world’s most popular fan-built alt-history IP, ‘Kaiserreich.’ In the world of Kaiserreich, Germany and her Central Power allies win WW1, leading to a world very different from our own.
Even victory has a cost. In this mini-documentary ‘dossier’, Kaiserreich developers and KCC writers delve deeper into the plight of the Bulgarian Tsardom, expanding upon the Bulgaria chapter featured in their earlier documentary episode.
Bulgaria enters the interwar period bloated beyond recognition. While no other Central Power seized as much territory as Sofia has, this wanton expansion has taken a heavy toll on the country’s stability. Much of the newly acquired provinces have become multi-ethnic hotbeds of partisan activity. In the Bulgarian borderlands, Serbs, Romanians, Albanians and Greeks fight the Sofia government – and each other. Ongoing territorial instability has plunged Bulgaria into deep economic crisis and undermined her already fragile democratic institutions.
Rogue paramilitaries now dominate much of the expanded Tsardom. With fragile borders, a dissolving Ottoman ally to her south and resurgent Greeks, Serbs and Romanians across the border, Bulgaria is in a race against time to stabilize the country – or risk complete annihilation in a Fourth Balkan War.

This is a more traditional militaristic strongman character that sets up the bellicose character of Bulgaria in 1914. The General is giving a rousing speech to his troops, preparing them to invade Serbia during WW1, ending on a dramatic 'The kaiserreich!' logo reveal for the video

Bulgarians! Lions of the Balkans. Hear me now! Today will be a day of great deeds. Of heroism, and of strife. Today, we return our Western lands to the Tsardom. Today, we invade Serbia and take back what is rightfully ours!
No brothers, it could be Bulgaria alone that claimed her independence in 1885. It could be Bulgaria alone that fought for her freedom in 1908. And it could be Bulgaria alone that unites all our homeland in 1914! There are allies to our West, as ambitious and strong as we are! Today, we forge an unbreakable bond between Berlin and Sofia, between eagles and lions! Today, we march into Serbia, and raise Bulgaria to her rightful throne as Hegemon of the Balkans. Let our Entente enemies cower, for their days are numbered. We are the rightful rulers of the Balkans. We are warriors. We are lions! Today, we take up arms with the new world order Today, we take up arms…
To contrast with the bellicose opening of this documentary, we end on a sad note - twenty years later, Bulgaria has become a bloated shadow of her former glory. Radicals have seized the capitol, and we hear this final address of 'the last democrat in Sofia',an old man sadly reflecting on the demise of the country.
Quavering, tired, but confident in his message - the last address of a proud man looking death in the eye...

To the Reichstag, the parliament of the German Empire, and to all those who hold the flame of liberty dear, I dictate this message. I address you, even as radicals break down the doors of our Bulgarian parliament. I am under no illusion that they will not find me hiding down here, and that my punishment for this insolence will be the noose. Let this be my last warning then – a message from the last democrat in Sofia.
A final warning, then, to my colleagues in Berlin. Because, like Bulgaria today, you too will all reap the seeds of what we have sown in 1914. We have smashed the imperial world order, but supplanted it with our own. Ours is not a more just world than the one the perfidious French, Russian and British created. Ours is a world glued from shards, held together only by violence and corruption. It could not last in Bulgaria. I fear it can not last in Europe as well. Beware these final words, parliamentarians of Germany, because you may still steer this ship. In Bulgaria, our time to act has passed. Heed my words. They come for me today. Tomorrow, they come For the THE KAISERREICH
