Kaiser Wilhelm II, in a speech to the German people after the surrender of France:

“A new era of peace is upon us with this victory. The people of Europe can now progress into the future safely, put back on the right track of progress and away from the dangerous ideologies which has plagued this continent for the past century. The nightmare the Jacobins started in France has finally been put to rest. It is now time to rebuild Europe...”

The Great War was a tumultuous event for Europe, and indeed the whole world. Out of the ruins and hardships of the war, the German Empire rebuilt a Europe in her own image, a new world order where Berlin became the capital of the world. From his throne in Berlin, the Kaiser claimed victory over his foes and heralded the triumph of old ideals over the new, those of the enlightened monarchy over those of Republicanism and Socialism.

The peoples of Europe watched as the clock seemingly turned back to the days of the Ancien Régime as more authoritarian monarchies became the norm in Europe. However, France, the former continental power, was engulfed in chaos after its humiliating defeat. Revolutionary Trade Unionists, acting on the discontent of the masses with the defeat and the large toll it took on the working class, rose up in arms against the Third Republic. A Civil War broke out in France, and while Germany aided the forces of the government against the rebellion, it was more occupied with its intervention in the Russian Civil War. Unlike 1871 and the Paris Commune, the forces of revolution proclaimed victory and on 1920, the Commune of France was established. The German Empire had succeeded in squashing the Bolsheviks in Russia, but had to now deal with a socialist state on its western borders.
