In 1914, exactly 100 years ago, Archduke Franz Ferdinand survived an attempt on his life.
Europe rejoice in relief, as his assassination by a Bosnian seperatist could have led to a war between the major powers of the old continent and millions of deaths.
In 1916, after the death of his uncle, Franz Ferdinand ascended to the throne of Austria-Hungary.
During his reign, he introduced major reforms to the Empire.
Military support from Germany allowed him to suppress Hungarian revolts while he shaped his realm into a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, not unlike the United Kingdom.
With now severely reduced national tensions, Austria-Hungary, now called "Vereinigtes Kaiserreich Österreich" (United Austrian Empire),
together with the allied German Empire, ensured the German hegemony in central Europe henceforth.

In 1936, Wilhelm III. ascended to the throne of Germany, after his father, Wilhelm II., was assassinated by fascist extremists.
He tried to root out the sfascism, which had gotten hold in various parts of the government, the military and the police forces during his fathers reign.
This led to the German civil war between agaisnt fascism.

In the United Kingdom, the marriage between Eduard VIII. and the American Wallis Simpson created major turmoil.
Despite influencial forces pressuring him to abdicate, he remained on the throne.
He supported Germany in its' civil war against fascism.
