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!
While the Italians and Ottomans were fighting to determine the ownership of Libya, major events were beginning to stir across the Atlantic. In the United States of America, the press was in full force, shifting public perception in favor of their chosen candidate.
That's right, it was that time again. Every four years, the USA elected a Presidential candidate into office. Normally, Bruno would not be interested in such a dull and dreadful matter—at least not from the perspective of his past life.
But the election in the United States, which would be concluded in November 1912, was a matter of global security. Depending on who won, the USA would either do everything it could to stir the public toward guaranteed entry into the Great War, or it would do everything possible to stay out of it.
