Early peace could leave a German constitutional monarchy

The discussion returns to the early-peace branch to consider a surviving monarchy as a constraint on dictatorship.

Notes

Under the early-peace option, Germany could retain its royal family within a constitutional monarchy. The suggested consequence is that a future dictator would still have a monarch above him. Mussolini's relationship with Italy's king is the comparison used to explain this possible institutional constraint.
