Imperial did not have to be Germany related Imperial Germany started late. Too late, probably that's the reason this world experienced two world wars -- new power chanlleging old ones. After maybe another 500 years, that will be the way historians looking at this, and how many people getting killed, how much damage was done will become less important detail.

Movie Gladiator starting scene was Roman Legion conquering "Germania", not sure that's Germany or not. But Imperial Germany, or 2nd Reich was as late as 1871, almost 100 years younger even than the U.S.
