* ChummyCommies: Spartacism is the mainstream Communist ideology of the ''Spartakus'' world as a result of the successful Spartacist uprising turning Germany socialist, organized under the principles of Soviet democracy, with rights of expression, worship, justice, protection, wellbeing, among others constitutionally guaranteed. It's also the governing ideology of Socialist Germany.

* CommieLand: Any nation that is communist, especially Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union, although due to the preeminence of [[ChummyCommies Spartacism]] as the mainstream ideology of communism, the communist nations of ''Spartakus'' worldline are notably more benign and democratic in contrast to the Stalinist/Maoist dictatorships of RealLife.

** The right-wing Nanjing faction of the Kuomintang (KMT) came into power in the 12 April Coup, when KMT rightists led by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek attempted to purge the KMT of the left-wing Wuhan faction as well as its communist allies and seize control of the Republic of China. They were only partly successful due to the KMT government in Wuhan refusing to submit and holding out against them, leading to the Nanjing-Wuhan split which had remained since then.

* DirtyCommunists: Subverted with Bolshevism. Bolshevism may appear to be the most extreme form of communism in the ''Spartakus'' universe, serving as the mirror opposite of National Corporatism on the other side of the political spectrum, but in reality it is essentially no different from Spartacism of Germany, applied to the different economic circumstances which manifests in Russia.

** National Corporatism operates much closer to Nazism as we know it with its advocation of a one-party dictatorship and creation of state- or privately-owned corporate groups based on common interests as means of national development. It is the more right-leaning of the two tendencies, complete with suppression of ethnic minorities. It's also the ruling ideology of the French National and Social Republic by 1932.

** Rather than launching an ill-prepared and ill-fated uprising in January 1919, the German communist revolutionaries decide to bid their time to get more organized and gather more public support first, even participating in parliamentary elections where they performed surprisingly well. When a failed right-wing coup destabilized the Weimar government in April and a national strike in May 1919 escalated out of control, the Spartacist League was able to launch a much better-prepared and planned 'May Revolution', allowing them to prevail in the subsequent CivilWar and establish the Free Socialist Republic of Germany by November 1920.

** Both the Left-KMT in Wuhan and the Right-KMT in Nanjing has the reunification of China as their primary goal, but refuses to acknowledge each other as legitimate and would not put their differences aside even towards that end.

''Spartakus: World In Revolution'' is a ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronIV'' AlternateHistory total conversion GameMod set in an [[AlternateHistory alternate timeline]] where immediately after UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, a later, more organized and supported [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacist_uprising Spartacist uprising]] succeeded in overthrowing the nascent UsefulNotes/WeimarRepublic and establishing the Free Socialist Republic of Germany. As a direct consequence of this, the Revolutions of 1917-1923 are much more successful, with many nations between the UsefulNotes/SovietUnion and Socialist Germany falling to Communism as well. The game begins around a decade afterwards in 1932, as the newly-established communist bloc finishes consolidating their victories while the rest of the world look on in fear and uncertainty - with many believing that another conflict on the scale of the previous war may be imminent which would decide the destiny of Europe, if not the world.

* DirtyCommunists: Bolshevism is the most extreme form of communism in the ''Spartakus'' universe, in stark contrast to the more democratic and moderate Spartacism which is presently the dominant communist ideology of the world. Bolshevism essentially serves as the mirror opposite of National Corporatism on the other side of the political spectrum and had been criticized and opposed by more moderate socialists and communists as too authoritarian.

** The British found themselves fighting many uprisings and rebellions across their empire following the Great War from their colonial subjects, with the most notable examples being the prolonged Irish War of Independence (which only ended in 1922) and the Third Anglo-Afghan War of 1919 (which the British lost), to the 'Red Revolt' which raged across India throughout 1925-28, and as of 1932 faces a new revolt in Burma.

** National Corporatism operates much closer to Nazism as we know it with its advocation of a one-party dictatorship and creation of state- or privately-owned corporate groups based on common interests as means of national development. It is the more right-leaning of the two tendencies, completely with suppression of ethnic minorities. It's also the ruling ideology of the French National and Social Republic by 1932.

** China is divided among warlords and struggling rival governments by 1932 as in RealLife, with [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Spartakus/comments/dwf65b/the_rival_governments/ recent lore]] hinting the present situation to be even worse than it was in our world: the KMT's Northern Campaign was far less successful, and a series of events led to Chiang Kai-shek being forced from power in Nanjing and a rival KMT government arising in Wuhan, splitting the KMT into two bickering and overall weaker halves which refuses to acknowledge each other as legitimate.

* AlternateHistory: An alternate timeline where the Revolutions of 1917-1923 were far more successful and resulted in the establishment of a bloc of Communist states, as a direct and indirect consequence of the Spartacist uprising in Germany.

** [[TheGreatDepression A stock market crash]] sends the world economy into a free for all but it happens not in New York but in London.

* CommieLand: Any nation that is communist especially Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union.

** Subverted THEN played straight in Italy: A Fascist takeover was averted in 1922 when the Italian king ordered the army to suppress the March on Rome, resulting in the Fascist movement being banned and purged, but by 1929 a military dictatorship had also been established as in France with the Governo Militare.

* OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: The British found themselves fighting many uprisings and rebellions across their empire following the First World War, from the prolonged Irish War of Independence (which only ended in 1922) and the Third Anglo-Afghan War of 1919 (which the British lost), to the 'Red Revolt' which raged across India throughout 1925-28 and as of 1932 faces a revolt in Burma.
* WonTheWarLostThePeace: Both Britain and France were rendered unable to pay their debts due to the lack of war reparations, causing them deep economic problems in the 1920s.
