     Look at Austria. It's a small, landlocked country not in any major alliance. That's because Austria, like Switzerland, is a neutral country. But it wasn't always like this. Austria used to be a great power. At one time, Austria had an empire so big that it was hard to contain the many ethnicities. (Several peoples, including Hungarians, Romanians, and Serbs lived in the Austrian Empire.) So in 1867, they gave some autonomy to the Hungarians. This created Austria-Hungary. However, in World War I, the Empire joined the Central Powers. As we know, they lost. This ended Austria-Hungary. Both lost significant territory, even majority German and Hungarian lands. Let's check it today on Historical Facts.  Treaty of Saint Germain-en-Laye (Austria/Cisleithania)     This first treaty was for the Austrian (Cisleithanian) part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. (Cisleithania refers to the Austrian part of the empire.) After the war, Austria needed to rebuild. So the ...

     Sorry for delaying "Mario's Empire!" Well, welcome to the series, even though I'm late. This is a good mix of my previous gaming blog and this history blog. If you haven't seen my trailer on the series, please click here . With that out of the way, let's go!     Mario was 7 years old in 1994 when he founded Super Mario Bros. Plumbing (SMBP) with his brother, Luigi. They used an abandoned house across their home as their base. He was only available during summer, as he still went to school. He only got around 7 customers per day, but none knew what he was about to do with the nation of Italy.      When he turned 23, Mario disbanded SMBP to join a professional plumbing company. At this point, he already had an interest in world history, especially the Roman Empire. But he was just a worker living in Rome.      However, in 2016, he was given an address that sounded familiar. It was the Italian parliament. It was there that he real...

     I know I've been leaving you hanging on the Sesame War, but I guarantee you that Part 4 will come out soon. With that clear, welcome to Part 1 of my alternate First World War. The alliances will be very different here. Let's go, Enotitans! Also, please read until the end for a very important announcement.     In 1866, the Austro-Prussian War was fought. (That happened in real life.) After that, Austria and Prussia (later the German Empire) both competed to become the superior Germanic nation.      Then, in 1870, the Franco-Prussian War was fought. (This was also a real war.) But since the French leader was Napoleon III, we actually have Great Britain joining on the side of Prussia here, making for our first fictional event. The Treaty of Normandy was signed a year later, giving Alsace-Lorraine to the newly formed German Empire, and Brittany to the United Kingdom. Later that year, the Germans and Brits signed the London Pact, which was like th...
