History
The Teutonic Reich traces its origins back to the fragmented states of the old Holy Roman Empire. Unification began under the Teutonic Order, a militaristic organization originally founded during the Crusades. As Europe (known as Euronia in this world) was plunged into chaos by wars and external threats, the Order seized the opportunity to consolidate power, unifying the disparate Germanic states under a single, iron-fisted rule.
In the early 19th century, the Order's Grand Master, Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, declared the formation of the Teutonic Reich, a new empire dedicated to restoring the glory of the Germanic people. The Reich was built on the ideals of strength, unity, and discipline, with a rigid military structure at its core. The Hohenzollern dynasty became the imperial family, ruling with absolute authority and supported by a powerful military aristocracy.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Teutonic Reich expanded its influence across Euronia. Using advanced steam-powered technology and innovative warfare tactics, the Reich conquered neighboring territories and established itself as a formidable power. The military, known for its precision and discipline, became the backbone of the Reich, with every citizen expected to serve and defend the empire.
As the world entered the era of the Great War, the Teutonic Reich stood at the forefront of the conflict, driven by a desire to further expand its territory and secure its place as the supreme power in Euronia. The Reich's military strategy focused on swift, decisive strikes, using state-of-the-art mechs and advanced artillery to crush their enemies.
