* AllohistoricalAllusion: The Cold War in Kalterkrieg is a parallel of [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar our own]], with liberal democracy fighting an ideological battle against an authoritarian foe. Though unlike in OTL, here it's autocratic monarchism instead of Marxist-Leninist communism.
** The partitioning of France into a Reichspakt-aligned north and an Entente-allied south is a reference to the splitting of Germany into east and west following the end of our own WWII.

real life:
** The partitioning war was put to a decisive end when the second most powerful country of the losing side (the Union of Britain versus the Empire of Japan) unconditionally surrendered after a nuclear bomb was dropped on one of their cities (Portsmouth versus Nagasaki).
** The country leading the losing side (the Commune
of France into a Reichspakt-aligned north versus the German Reich) was divided in two after their defeat, each half controlled by one of the factions making up the winning side (Reichspakt-controlled North France and an Entente-allied south is a reference to the splitting of Entente-controlled South France versus Western Allies-controlled West Germany into and Soviet-controlled East Germany), and members of their ethnic group were expelled from some of their lost territories (Alsace-Lorraine versus anywhere east and west following of the end of our own WWII.Oder-Neisse line).
** After the war ends, relations between the factions making up the winning side worsen, leading to a Cold War. The losing side's ideology (syndicalism versus fascism) becomes largely discredited, persisting in only a few countries.

''Kalterkrieg: Shadow of the Weltkrieg'' is a ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronIV'' GameMod and a sequel to ''VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg'' set during the ensuing cold war.

The guns have finally fallen silent following the end of the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Second]] [[VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg Weltkrieg]] in 1948, and the revolutionary tides of syndicalism have been stemmed both in Europe and North America by the victorious [[TheRemnant Entente]] & [[TheEmpire Reichspakt]].

The Entente, led by the United Kingdom, the Dominion of Canada and South France have taken moves to protect the spirit of democracy and shine its beacon across the world, while the German Empire and its puppets in the Reichspakt continue spread their imperial influence wherever it can and establish autocratic states. [[DividedStatesOfAmerica In the former United States]], the American Union State begins to falter despite its victory over both Douglass Macarthur's Junta and the Syndicates as the new nations that now surround it begin to exert their influence, and it becomes clearer by the day that America shall once again become a battleground.

Whatever the coming years will bring, it's clear that it shall be shaped by the ensuing conflict between maintaining the so-called "German Century" and the global spread of democratic ideals.

Compare another popular Cold-War sequel to [[VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg Kaiserreich]]: ''VideoGame/KrasnachtTwilightOfTheGods'', where the cold war is between the Internationale (now called INFOR) and the Moscow Accord (now named SARPAC).
