German Empire (Quebec Independence)

The German Empire was an empire that existed from its formation in 1871 until its dissolution in 1941 by France.

Upon unification, the Empire rapidly industrialized, and became the top land power in Europe with a massive army. Germany, along with Great Britain, formed the London Pact in 1892 that would become victorious over France in World War I. Germany forced France to pay heavy war reparations and took over their colonies. Germany enjoyed an economic boom that came following the war, until the Great Depression wrapped around the globe.

Germany was hit hard, and during this time its military grew weak. When the National Socialists took over France and began to expand its territory, the London Pact did nothing to stop it. France's invasion of Belgium caused the London Pact to spring into action and declare war on France. Germany was unprepared for France's incredibly powerful military and new tactics. Berlin was captured in 1941, and despite the escape of Emperor Wilhelm III, the German Empire was dissolved. Northern Germany was incorporated into France, while its eastern territories were conquered by Russia. Central and South Germany was reformed, along with Austria, into the French puppet called the Protectorate of Austria.
