What if there was a Second American Civil War? The Divided States Project Lore Video 

>When you fight for "Democracy" but Mcarthur decides to remain Dictator after the war.

I love how all of these start as fact files and turn into propaganda

When you realize that Independent devs can produce more content than the actual paradox team

Someone should make a mod where Germany loses ww1

Commune of France wants to send you 5 divisions

*builds a barricade of level ten forts in Maryland*

*Opens HOI4 selects Kaiserreich picks USA*

Whoever wrote this is fucking marvelous.

I know some people are posting survival tips for the Civil war as the USA but in case anyone wanted to know another way to survive as the USA here is mine: 1. At the very start of the game take the Panama Canal Garrison back to the mainland. Also, take the 2 divisions Liberia has and the 3 divisions the Philippines has and bring them back as well. 2. I never relinquish control of the government to MacArthur because I like to keep Charles Curtis and Quentin Roosevelt in power. Also for some reason when I do this, Mexico almost never asks for its territory back. Plus a big bonus of this is you have more time to prepare and train divisions. 3. Once the war begins I focus 90% of my troops on the PSA first and capitulate them immediately as well as let Canada take over New England. The other 10% I evacuate to Iowa and Missouri to hold out and build forts against. 4. Build as many forts as you can against the CSA in the North because they are the stronger opponent. Defense is the main strategy in the North overall until the CSA is pushed back into the "Oven Mitt" part of Michigan, after which you can flood Michigan with your troops to destroy their lines. 5. Handling the AUS is a bit easier because the CSA is also fighting them so essentially just wait for the CSA to start beating them back and then be really aggressive against them. You'll know you're winning when you can start sneaking your troops to take ports and small towns all across the southern AUS territory. Definitely take Miami before taking Atlanta because it is a pain to try and take Miami once the AUS has set up shop there. 6. I also like to invade Mexico as soon as the war is over because usually Mexico doesn't join the Third Internationale often and you'll have veteran troops by then.

“More bitter words where never spoken, second American civi war...” sends chills down my spine.

DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS, UP WITH THE STARS!

Having a video for each faction is a terrific idea! Looking forward to the rest of them!

The AUS voice actor had better have a glorious Virginian accent. "General, POzisshen yer artillery in such a wae as to rain soopressive farr' upon th'enemy.

So basically: -United States/US Remnants -Combined Syndicalists of America -American Union State -Pacific States of America -Kingdom of Hawaii -New England Edit: I am unsure if New England gets annexed by Canada in the actual timeline or it remains independent but joins what's left of the Entente. Regardless, we need a video on all of them.

DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS!!! UP WITH THE STARS!!!!

This has aged well.

DOWN WITH THE TRATIORS UP WITH THE STARS! ALL HAIL AMERICAN CEASER!

DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS! UP WITH THE STARS!

The American Government is probably my favorite nation in Kaiserreich because it has the potential for a very inspiring story of a nation of ideals coming back from the brink of defeat. Though I always choose Charles Curtis and then Quentin Roosevelt in order to continue that idea. I even am trying to make a story based on it, if I ever finish it. On that note, I am curious what you developer's attitudes are on fan-projects such as youtube videos and stories based in the Kaiserreich world? I love your mod very much (in fact I barely ever play original Hearts of Iron 4 anymore in favor of your mod) and think that it's ripe for creative stories to be told based in it. In any event, thanks for making this "lore" video as it's a nice introduction to the American portion of the Kaiserreich world.

DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS UP WITH THE STARS HAIL THE AMERICAN CAESAR

We're about to find out

This is suddenly relevant again

In nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, hurrah! Hurrah! In nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, hurrah! hurrah! In nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, Thus began the war in heaven And we'll all be gay when Johnny comes marching home. In nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, hurrah! Hurrah! In nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, hurrah! Hurrah! In nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, Washington would meet its fate, And we'll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home. In nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, hurrah! Hurrah! In nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, hurrah! Hurrah! In nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, We held the eastern line, And we'll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home.

From the damned Redcoats to the damned Red syndies, the union will not fall!

People in 2020: Uh oh

Am I the only one who tries to get Quentin Roosevelt as president every campaign?

So, 2nd American Civil war is canon now?

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

And so it begins

What about the best faction in the 2nd American Civil War! What happened to them? What about Hawaii!!! (Edit) Still a good video though. Great job Kaiserreich Team!

Can we get like, a movie or 10 part miniseries on this. Just on one or two perspectives of this Civil War.

Damn as much as I like the syndicalists, this was epic

"What if"

When I heard that MacArthur was leading one faction, I automatically assumed Patton would be leading the other

I did it once, *and I’ll do it again.*

2020 Not so "alternate" anymore

Paradox should hire modders to make DLCs. Imagine what these guys could achieve with the budget of paradox.

When Douglas came marching home...

Lucky for you we’re actually making a live remake

I have American Exceptionalism bleeding from my eyeholes.

The structure of these videos is great.

Short answer: negative political power

Damn this is good, I can’t wait to see what you’ve done with the CSA video!

I really hope "major American belligerents" includes the great break away nation of Hawaii

This aged well

And then I come in and annex the entire thing into the Kingdom of Canada.

All hail his Imperial Majesty the King-Emperor Edward VIII, rightful ruler of the Americas, British Isles, Australasia, Africa and India. Long may he reign!

When the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run, there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun!

Lol but when you prevent the civil war

It's scary how similar the last part of the the video is to reality

THIS MADE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER

''Yoink'' King Eddy september 1936

Waiting for when you guys are gonna cover those who B R E A K T H E C H A I N S

*AVE! TRUE TO CAESAR!*

*DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS* *UP WITH THE STARS*

Every one of these you put out is a masterpiece, but they all make me so glad we live in our timeline...

E V E R Y M A N A K I N G

I love how youtube recomends me this in 2021

It's pretty goofy hearing that last part of this video when the union gets crushed every single time that i've seen. (With the AI at least)

For the PSA! For the Freedom! For the Republic! Down with the dictature! Down with the syndicalism! Down with the schowinism! For the America!

Huey Long and his army of fighting southern men > weird factory worker guy with sun hat

FUCK YEAH ! RALLY TO THE FLAG BOYS !

Paradox should offer Kaiserreich as official DLC with the developers getting half of the profits.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY WILL NEVER PERISH!!!

erm, well here we are.

Comrade Reed call for us ! Lets us unite and beat the Tyrant MacArthur !

What do you mean by "IF"?

Bruh, youtube recommended this to me now, he's trying to tel me something...

.......YANKEE DOODLE CAME TO TOWN A 'RIDIN ON A PONY, STUCK A FEATHER IN HIS CAP AND CALLED IT MACARONI!

What’s the timeline on getting the other factions’ videos? I really like what’s been shown so far- excellent writing and fantastic art, as usual.

Well time for another American Caesar playthrough

More actual than ever.

Does this mean the USA won’t lose the civil war every time? Love you guys btw

yeah "what if"

Yes. All the yes. By the way, you should have the main developers play keiserreich and make a video on it for the anniversary

“Second American Civil War” Civil War II: Electric-boogaloo

Now have two options 1.The elections must go ahead. 2.Invite the military to step in to save the country!

The Goosebumps though.

I know that the American Union State and the Syndicalists make valid points, and that the democratic ideology isn’t always the most fun, but preserving the US is by far superior. Again, not in the sense of conquering land or puppets gained, but it’s definitely the most satisfying path. Besides, a Democratic USA is balances the game, while the others lead to one sided alliances.

"Unlike the first America civil war, the second civil war was far more chaotic

E V E R Y M A N A K I N G V E R Y M A N A K I N G

*EVERY KING A MAN*

Good thing they didn't describe the CSA in the same way as the Union State, but just replacing "Huey Long" with "Jack Reed". Having the two seem too similar would be a tragic oversimplification, even if it might work in the concept of bitter federalists.

Does this mean the MacArthur coup/2nd Civil War will start off as already occurred/beginning in the next update?

3:48 by rally to the flag, by any chance do you mean beg Canada for help?

dont worry his majesty's dominion of Canada will save you

D I R E C T R U L E F R O M A T L A N T A

When this is recommended for me on election day, I'm glad im not an American.

Do one on canada reclaiming Britain "Down with the syndacallist up with the crown!"

It’s no longer a matter of “what if” but rather “when?”

This is what is coming very very soon..

Until The king in Canada, puts down the real rebels once and for all XD

The recent riots made me come listen to the "DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS! UP WITH THE STARS"

Somebody should contact Steven Spielberg and make a movie about this. It would be awesome if there was a movie about the 2nd American Civil War.

“Down with the traitors, up with the stars!” Gee, that seems so much more relevant these days for some reason, what with those yahoos calling for a second ACW...

Does Mexico do anything in the lore

This is so bad ass. Do you have any plans to expand on Australia?

eVeRy MaN a KiNg Gimme the Long video

Hey guys, give Bulgaria a well developed focus tree already!
