The Life of the Emperors

	Bismarck died in 1892, before realizing his dream in the Grand Kaiserreich having dominant control of Germany after The Great War. His son, Bismarckan Prince Otto Christian Archibald von Bismarck, ascended the Chancellorship in 1909 after the resignation of Bernhard Heinrich Karl Martin von Bülow, nicknamed "Prince" von Bülow.
	Kaiser Wilhelm  II was speaking to the crowd when two Socialist leaders fired and assassinated him. Karl Liebnecht fled to the Netherlands, where gained political asylum after Germany discovered it was only his presence there he was responsible for. Rosa Luxemburg was nearly captured after her assassination of Wilhelm II, but fled to Belgium where the Pro-French settlements won out and she was declared the Queen of Walluxembournia, a unification of Wallonia and Luxembourg after the Belgian uprising. She was later assassinated by a Luxembourgian-French Fascist Party, The National-Socialisme(nick.: Nohzi) and a German conspirator in a Germanic-Luxembourgian Fascist party called Nationalsozialismus.
	Wilhelm II's assassination followed the capture of his family by Philipp Scheidemann, Leo Jogiches, Paul Levi, Julian Marchlewski, Ernst Meyer, Franz Mehring, Wilhelm Pieck, August Thalheimer, Bertha Thalheimer, and Clara Zetkin, among others, by the Spartacus League. Otto Bismarck declared himself the temporary Kaiser and renounced his name to be Otto Christian Archibald von Hohenzollern III, temporary Emergency Kaiser. He managed to find their kidnappers and capture them.
	Kron Prinz Wilhelm renounced his claim to the throne and appointed Herbert Leopold Hohenzollern von Bismarck the new Kaiser of Germany. Herbert married Alexandrine Auguste von Mecklenburg-Schwerin, previously courted by Christian X, but who had been broken up when Christian X was recalled to Copenhagen when Otto von Bismarck had tried to manage a political move for the seizing of the Danish throne. It failed due to Christian X's masterly diplomatic move where he managed to get the Russians to sign the Northern Two Defence against Germany, a five-year agreement to defend each other's throne from the "any foreign noble who wishes to seize control of the aforementioned countries for the reason of mutual understanding of the European balance of power."
	Alexandrine was the sister of Wilhelm's own wife, who had used her influence for Alexandrine to be made Kaiserin and Wilhelm III to be named Duke of Alsace-Loraine, Grand Protector of the German People's in Alsace Lorraine, under His Majesty, By the Grace of God, Kaiser Otto Christian Archibald von Bismarck. Wilhelm was made Chancellor of Germany and proceeded to have his brother, Prince August Wilhelm Heinrich Günther Viktor von Hohenzollern, declared Foreign Minister of Germany and another brother, Eitel Friedrich Christian Karl von Hohenzollern, made the Grand Advisor to the Kaiser.
	Prince August Wilhelm Heinrich Günther Viktor von Hohenzollern had a personal diary, to continue the rest of this story:
	His Imperial and Royal Majesty Otto, By the Grace of God, German Emperor and King of Prussia, Margrave of Brandenburg, Burgrave of Nuremberg, Count of Hohenzollern, Duke of Silesia and of the County of Glatz, Grand Duke of the Lower Rhine and of Posen, Duke of Saxony, of Angria, of Westphalia, of Pomerania and of Lunenburg, Duke of Schleswig, of Holstein and of Crossen, Duke of Magdeburg, of Bremen, of Guelderland and of Jülich, Cleves and Berg, Duke of the Wends and the Kashubians, of Lauenburg and of Mecklenburg, Landgrave of Hesse and in Thuringia, Margrave of Upper and Lower Lusatia, Prince of Orange, of Rugen, of East Friesland, of Paderborn and of Pyrmont, Prince of Halberstadt, of Münster, of Minden, of Osnabrück, of Hildesheim, of Verden, of Kammin, of Fulda, of Nassau and of Moers, Princely Count of Henneberg, Count of the Mark, of Ravensberg, of Hohenstein, of Tecklenburg and of Lingen, Count of Mansfeld, of Sigmaringen and of Veringen, Lord of Frankfurt, Prince of Bismarck, Descended from the Iron Chancellor, and Ruler of the Greater German Empire, Grand Duke of Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, was crowned today. I was sent to London where the Wars of Canadian, Indian, South African, Egyptian, Australian, New Zealander, Wales, Scotland, and Irish Independence were ongoing.
	Once there, I declared Arthur William Patrick Albert Hannover, Arthur William Patrick Albert Alexandrius, first of the line named after his mother, and the Great German War Kaiser Wilhelm II's grandmother, currently Otto's great-grandmother-in-law-in-law, as Queen Victoria was Otto's wife's sister's husband's great-grandmother. So thus it was, King Arthur was declared the King of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and the British Dominions beyond the sea and the rebellions ended as they proclaimed King Arthur's return.

	In other news:

	Alfonso XIII abdicated after the Germans won World War I. Prince Joachim Albert von Hohenzollern claimed the throne after he pointed out he was engaged to Infante Beatriz, the next-in-line to the throne. The eldest child renounced his rights to the throne to marry a commoner, and the next oldest was a deaf-mute who was declared unfit to rule. Juan Carlos Teresa Silverio Alfonso  was the next oldest son but he was younger than her. A group of Liberals called themselves the Juanists while Joachimmos were Conservatives and Reactionaries. Finally, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire announced they would fight for Joachim alongside Germany. France and Spain were forced to back down and Joachim, Wilhelm III's second cousin, was made King of Spain.
        Victor Emanuel III of Italy was assassinated by a Bourbon supporter. Friedrich Wilhelm, the younger brother of Joachim was also there with his wife. His wife was assassinated too, and he later married Princess Yolanda, Victor's eldest child. Friedrich Wilhelm then claimed the throne. He was crowned Federico Guglielmo Vittorio Carlo Serietà Allessandro Enrico von Hohenzollern-Savoie. Thus it was the Encircling of France was almost completed.
	I was sent to King Arthur II of England and I of the United Kingdom. Prince Günther Sizzo and his wife Princess Alexandra Therese Marie(the cousin of Arthur's deceased wife) were among the other diplomats. King Arthur fell in love with the Princess and her husband died when he got sick and Albert got a ship to send him home and the ship crashed. After a year of her mourning, Arthur married his cousin-in-law. He agreed to sign the alliance only after their engagement was officially announced six months into her mourning. This strengthened German and British ties. Alexandra was the great-great granddaughter of Frederick William II, making her the third cousin of Wilhelm II, Arthur's brother-in-law. My success enabled me to claim the throne for Prince Napoleon V Victor. The republicans and democratists began trying to fight the monarchy forces until Germany declared intervention in the French Napoleonic Succession, followed by Jacques de Bourbon claiming the French throne.
	Jacques was killed in the Battle of Paris alongside the Kaiser's sister-in-law and Napoleon V's brother-in-law-in-law. Count Gottfried, the Kaiser's younger brother, married Stephanie and became King of Belgium after her father's assassination. Napoleon V, his wife, and Gustaf V's son, Gustaf VI of Sweden, were killed in the Republican Assassination in Paris that also nearly killed me. It didn't get Gottfried who became Kaiser of Germany and Regent of France and then declared me next-in-line to the throne for saving his life in the assassination attempts. Prince Louis, Napoleon V's son, was reported missing and presumed dead, however I was raising him alongside Alexander, my own son. Some people think, justifiably, that Gottfried hired assassins to kill Victor and his wife on the same night as the republican uprising. I can confirm this story, however only Louis, Alexander, and Alexandra Viktoria know about this. Louis is serving as a wine administrator in the royal kitchen and personally delivered wine to the Kaiser one day. The next day, Otto was dead. I was coroneted a week later, earlier today.
	I produced papers showing Louis was Karl Ludwig Viktor von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, my nephew. I adopted him a day after the coronation and then produced proof of Otto's assassination of Napoleon V and his wife. A few days later, I proved that Louis was in fact Napoleon V's son and declared him Crown Prince of France. The French Parliament gathered and declared that I would be Regent. I declared that Alexander Ferdinand von Hohenzollern was engaged to Louis' sister,  Marie Clotilde Eugénie Alberte Laetitia Généviève Bonaparte to be married  in six years, on December 25, 1931.
	I have been regent only a month and already Louis has declared himself old enough for partial ruling at the age of fourteen. I  named Louis Karl Viktor Emmanuel Ludwig Leopold von Bonaparte-Hohenzollern Emperor of France and was then made Prime Minister of France, Emperor of Germany, and heir to the thrones of Spain, and Italy.
	King Arthur declared his Parliament having full attendance for the first time in his reign yesterday when I was visiting. He is a brilliant spokesman and managed to convince them to continue the alliance, changing it from a 5-year alliance to a 25-year alliance and a 50-year non-aggression pact disregarding civil wars. It was a sign just as the full round table. Arthur was taken captive last night. Princess Patricia of Connaught, his daughter, had married my brother, Prince Joachim Franz Humbert von Hohenzollern, which made him the rightful heir to the British throne. I offered an abdication to Joachim of Britain to make a personal union, however he refused and then agreed to sign a binational union with both of us as respective kings with each other as the equals.
	Joachim of Spain was assassinated without a heir to the throne, which I assumed and declared a trinational union of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, the British Dominions, Germany, the German Dominions, Spain, and the Spanish Dominions. The Hispanic Anglo-German Kingdom was thus born.
	Napoleon VI declared himself no longer Napoleon but Marque Karl Viktor Emmanuel Louis Ludwig Leopold von Hohenzollern de Bonaparte. Napoleon was considered too unoriginal according to him. Marque then declared his engagement to the Archduchess Adelheid, which would make him next-in-line to the Austrian throne behind  Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius von Habsburg, Austrian Emperor since 1927, his father's year of abdication. I attended the wedding and declared her Empress Adelheid of Austro-France when her brother also abdicated to Marque. I rose and made a speech at the wedding
	"Marque, I have known you since you were a scared little boy hiding from republican rioters in the royal kitchen, where I found you. Since then, you have risen prominently and now at the age of 18 are Emperor of two countries, one of which whose people you were hiding from. Viva la Austro-France! Viva la Marque! Viva la Adelheid!"
	The assassins came to Joachim's apartment today while we were talking without guards. We held them off, killing nine of a dozen. I do not like to dwell on it. The union of Anglo-Germany is to go to Alexander Ferdinand von Hohenzollern and Marque de Bonaparte. Spain is to be freed with a Hohenzollern on the throne. I and Joachim are dying and I and Joachim hereby abdicate to the aforementioned nobles Dual Monarchy of the Union of Anglo-Germany and Austro-France.
Signed,
Former Prince, now Emperor, August Wilhelm Heinrich Günther Viktor von Hohenzollern of Germany
and
Former Prince, now Emperor, Joachim Prince Joachim Franz Humbert von Hohenzollern-Alexandrius of Germany
