The final offensive turns into a great and astounding victory. The era of Pax Britannica, the era of a British-dominated peace, is over. The era of Pax Germania has begun. The new nation forged in iron and steel now calls itself the greatest amongst the world's nations. Maintaining the peace, however, is a much more difficult affair for the new imperial nation. The iron grip of Imperial Germany might be strong, but the world does not always bend to such strength in peace. In Pax Germania, explore a world that could very well have been through the very different experiences of a man from Britain, a lowly soldier from France, and a young Prussian aristocrat from Germany. Follow the inevitable events of a very different outcome of the event that formed the rest of the decisive 20th century. All these major events occur around the personal lives of these three men, forging their own paths in the new and dangerous world. The events in this book are as a result of extensive research into counterfactual history and investigations into the possibilities of a world that might have been had the German army triumphed in unlikely but very possible circumstances in 1918. With the assistance of research from military historian Robert Cowley in his critically acclaimed work entitled 'What If', this book attempts to create the most realistic possibilities and world events, articulated through the personal experiences of three very different people from three very different geographic, societal and philosophical backgrounds. Tony de Lacey is a graduate of history, majoring in counterfactual history from the University of Nottingham. His previous published works include philosophical publications including the books 'Liberating Life; How paying attention can set you free', and 'The Superhero Condition'. Tony has also published a series of theatrical scripts, some diving into more worlds of historical alternatives. He has worked as a teacher of history, emphasising the importance of counterfactual history as a mechanism of assigning value to historical events and interpretations.
