The World of Kaiserreich is an animated video series explaining the lore of the Hearts of Iron mod 'Kaiserreich'. In the alt-history timeline of Kaiserreich, a German victory in WW1 changes the world as we know it.
In this episode, we look at the victorious but beleaguered Austria-Hungarian Empire. Austria-Hungary emerged from the Weltkrieg victorious, but only by the grace of massive German financial and military aid. Groaning under the weight of ethnic tensions and internal strife, the people of Austria-Hungary hold their breaths for the heated Ausgleich negotiations that will decide the fate of the federal state.

But most of all, every day under the sun of the Alps, ranging the vast forests and mountains that are my home.
They say it was Germany, the great ‘Kaiserreich’ that won us the Weltkrieg. I would not know of it. Where I fought, I found only my brothers in the trenches. In truth, relations with our ‘benevolent’ allies have become strained in recent years. Always the Kaisers squabble over this or that Polish province, or the autonomy of the Eastern States.
Ah yes, the Weltkrieg. Perhaps you have come to hear my story of death, blood and valor. Of we held the Isonzo twelve times and twelve times threw back the Italians. How we won, but only after subsiding off what we could ‘commandeer’ from the locals. We were less of an army then, and more of a band of reavers.
