Kaiserreich - Let's Avoid 2ACW Continued

Hearts of Iron IV Version 1.8.1

Kaiserreich Version 0.10.1



I only started really playing HoI 4 after discovering the Kaiserreich mod. It is amazing. The world building, the dedication of the team, the gameplay experience are all truly amazing. There is only one thing I hate: the 2nd American Civil War. So working based on the previous work by great people I decided to continue the work on a mod to avoid this war. This submod adds a path for the United States to avoid the civil war by using Kaiserreich 0.8.6 content as before.

In further updates I will modify existing localization files, events and national foci to make sure that they are coherent with the US avoiding the war.


Thank you Kaiserreich Devs for making the amazing Kaiserreich mod, Thank you Von_Laughing for making this great submod, Thank you Engineer Skip for your contributions.


1. Form the National Unity Party

2. Elect Olson as President

3. Ensure that the Coalition does not fall apart

4. Go down Velvet Glove Path

5. Don't allow Huey Long in the negotiations

6. Ask Reed to make a better offer

7. Present the compromise to Congress

8. Discuss Long with Hoover

9. Assassinate Long

10. Peace at last


1. I tried to make it as compatible as possible with the national foci and events of other nations. At the moment this means some inelegant solutions especially for Japan. Thus I recommend disabling the mod if you want to play as any other nation than the USA.

2. I might have overlooked interdependencies with other national foci and events. I created a threat for this issue where you can post these.

3. At the moment you can only avoid the ACW with Olson compromising with Reed. I would like to add a path for Garner compromising with Long but I need help in historically accurate ideas for national foci in that case. See the threat below for details.

4. Though I didn't notice any specific bugs there probably are some. Please let me know in the discussion below.

5. There are some design choices regarding the path of the US in regards to other nations where I didn't make a decision yet. You'll find details in the discussion below and am eager to hear you suggestions.


I hope you have fun playing this mod avoiding unnecessary bloodshed on American soil and thus making the USA the most powerful country in the Kaiserreich universe.
