The German Empire was a superpower that existed from 1871 to 1954. It was the strongest member and the leader of the Central Powers, it was also the biggest key contributor in winning the Great War for the Central Powers. The German Empire peacefully rewrote it's constitution and reinvented itself under the grand rule of Viktoria III on July 1954 to a Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy (see the Federal Kingdom of Germany).
The nation prospered under the rule of it's last Kaiserin, Viktoria III who introduced many social and political reforms to the nation and who also rewrote the German constitution to the July Constitution. The nation started to decline in power and economic strength around the mid 30s due to a wheat famine and many other events such as the Second Dutch Revolution and the Reunification of Britain, the famine was resolved shortly afterwards but those events would linger on forever.
