"Brother... the Germans are here and our cause is lost. Rememeber the men that died at Jinhua. Know that we died doing our duty for the Party and our people." Our two-part China documentary series opens with an incredible monologue by Mark Lee, narrating the alt-history point of divergence in Kaiserreich's China: The failure of the Northern Expedition, assassination of Chiang Kai-Shek, and subsequent restoration of the Qing Empire. --- [WHAT IF GERMANY WON WW1? | KAISERREICH LORE: CHINESE CIVIL WAR, FALL OF THE KUOMINTANG] This fictional Kaiserreich Documentary series explores the fictional timeline of the world’s most popular fan-built alt-history IP, ‘Kaiserreich.’ In the world of Kaiserreich, Germany and her Central Power allies win the First World War, leading to a world vastly different from our own. This second part of our two-part Chinese Civil War documentary picks back up during the height of the Northern Expedition. Chiang Kai-Shek and his Nationalist Party have made the ultimate gambit to rid China from the warlords - launching an all-out offensive against the Northern Zhili Clique and their allies. Unbeknowst to the Kuomintang, however, a new party is about to enter the fray, and alter the fate of China forever. --- Written by Flamefang, Kaiserreich Chinese Civil War Rework Tream Starring EAMON KINSMAN and ALEX DUNK as Claud Severn and Nicholas Faircrest Written and edited by DAVID 'DavidDH' DIJKHUIS Produced by VINCENT 'VincentDN' DE NIL --- Discover some of the historical and alt-history flags we made for this project! 🎌 Chinese Historical Flags at Flagmaker & Print: https://flagmaker-print.com/collections/chinese-historical-flags 🎌 Alt-History Flags at Flagmaker & Print: https://flagmaker-print.com/collections/alt-history-flags-kcc 🎌 Design & Print your own custom flags: https://flagmaker-print.com/
