World of Kaiserreich: Ireland
Project Overview
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, the Ireland Rework team and Kaiser Cat Cinema artists take a closer look at Ireland, the Emerald Isle. The collapse of the British Empire has secured Irish freedom, but many threats to Eire still remain. As Syndicalism spreads through defeated Britain, the Irish find themselves once again trapped in the midst of a Great Powers struggle.
To the South, German diplomats court Dublin openly, seeking to add the country to their growing Reichspakt Alliance. But deals with imperialists can be treacherous, and the Irish know all too well the price of bending the knee to a foreign king. To their East, then, the British Empire has been replaced with a revanchist syndicalist regime. While the Union of Britain has no open intentions to reclaim Ireland, can the Emerald Isle ever truly trust ‘Perfidious Albion’?
Ireland stands at a crossroads, and must carefully balance the influence of foreign powers, even as the world slowly lurches towards a Second Weltkrieg.
For now, however, there is hope. Ireland is strong. Ireland is free.

We won’t be looking for trouble, Seamus, that’s for sure. Thing is, sometimes trouble comes looking for you. The British are defeated, they say in Dublin. Out here, I’m not so sure. Ye see them lights yonder? Those are patrol boats, lad. It’s the Union of Britain, pokin’ and proddin’ our shores, huntin’ for any chink in our armor.
The Germans? [Scoffs]. They gave us a hand for a bit, that much is true. But German help has a price tag attached, boys. [Jeering] Do you reckon we can trust the Kraut’s Kaiser any more than we Irish could trust the British King? Seems in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa they could tell you a thing or two about Perfidious Kaiserreich, innit! Oh yes, the Germans will gladly make deals with ye’ - and be fastenin' a noose 'round 'yer neck all the while. Germans. British. French. Syndicalists. Imperialists! I trust every one of them about as far as I can throw the bastards. Aye, make no mistake lads, those big guns there are pointed at the continent as much as we’ve got them pointed at the bleeding British! Right here is all I trust in this world. Irish men, bearing arms for our fair island.

Is it true captain, that they say a second Great War is coming? Surely, we’ll be staying out of it, won’t we? This business with the Syndicalists and Germans is none of Ireland’s affair, innit!
[Uncertain] But, we’ve got the Germans backing us, chief. Surely the Brits wouldn’t pick a fight? Not after how bad we beat the bastards last time?
