Many mods on this forum have been conceived with a simple ponder of What if a turning point in History had gone a different route like what if Germany won WW2 or what if The Confederacy won the Civil War. Common examples of threads that attempt to answer this question are Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkreig or the Fatherland mod.
Now, out of many points of divergence the one that has perhaps shaped the modern world the most is the October Revolution, which created the world's first Communist state, the Soviet Union. Now, I won't be asking what if the Russian Revolution failed as that has been done already:see Kaiserreich for more details on how they interpret the fallout of the failure of the ideology of Marxism-Leninism.
Instead the simple question of what if Marxism took hold earlier is perhaps one of the more obscure points of divergence mentioned.
Anyways, the idea was interested me and based off of the premise that the failed Paris Commune had actually managed to defend its Marxist state and founded the worlds first Socialist Republic during the tumultuous times of the Franco-Prussian War.
This is the Premise of Rise and Fall as inspired by @Tera Brandford with his earlier work using the point of divergence and the title.
