The German Empire was a nation in Europe.

Pre-POD
Germany was united under Prussian hegemony in 1871, following several decisive wars against Austria and France. It quickly became a world power as it joined in on the Scramble for Africa, gaining several colonies. Relations with France never fully recovered from the Franco-Prussian war, mainly due to the loss of portions of Alsace and Lorraine, and were subsequently incorporated into Germany. By the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, Germany held one of the worlds most powerful militaries, with a navy to rival the historic might of that of the Royal Navy.
