Re: Blood and Iron
Karl Wagner is a disgruntled middle-aged instructor at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College. He finds himself concerned about the direction which the German nation is headed in—just as he is killed by a terrorist attack. Only to awaken and find himself reborn as an infant, Bruno von Zehntner, the youngest son of a noble family renowned for its part in the German war industry a few years after the founding of the German Empire. Bruno, as he is now known, desires to rewrite history and ensure the German Empire emerges victorious in the coming century. And in doing so, finds himself entrenched in a world filled with Blood and Iron!
A Visit To Romania
Romania was a nation whose contributions to the Great War in Bruno's past life were less than significant. In fact, what it was most well known for was losing about one tenth of its population during the entire conflict.
By the time they entered the war in 1916, Romania had a population of roughly 7 million, and by the time the Armistice of Focșani was signed roughly a year later, over 700,000 soldiers and civilians had died due to causes related to the war.
It was an unmitigated disaster for the Romanians who had entered the war on behalf of the Allied Powers for the sake of seizing many lands that belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary as part of their ambitions to untie "Greater Romania."
Of course, the victory the Central Powers gained over the Kingdom of Romania in 1917, much like the one they gained over the Russian Empire that same year was nullified when the war finally ended in the Allied Powers favor a year after these treaties were signed.
