China would be split into a dozen separate European protectorates with a far lower population. Willy was a massive hater of the yellow race

Everything, everything would be better.

Central Powers wouldn't have the capacity to do that with Soviets, Japan, and US still around and far more powerful in the pacific.

The Russians and Japs were foaming at the mouth to carve up China, the Soviet Union would not exist in a CP victory, willy would restore the Tsar or a relative to the throne to secure its massive natural resources. The only power holding back the carving of China was the UK and to a far lesser extent, the USA

Austria gets to dominate the Balkans, hooray! Surely this is going to benefit the Empire tremendously in the long run.
The Ottomans could likewise try to swallow more war-torn turf from the Russians, having staved off their disintegration for one more war.
Germany, meanwhile?? Were they fighting for their right to launch pre-emptive wars? I guess they would install a puppet regime a la Vichy France. They would convert to a constitutional monarchy.
This is a shit of a geopolitical situation. Another big ass war looms. And the Great Depression.

The Kaiser is not Hitler, despite being retarded too he saw the value that the east Slavs offered to his empire and would form a massive buffer state between the Germans and himself. I also dont see Austria surviving, it would most likely be carved up a few different ways to benefit the reich and European stability

Central Powers victory retains Brest-Litovsk. If they tried to depose the government that finally made peace with them it would have been many more years of total war, which would just collapse the German economy. Japan didn't want European spheres of influence in China either, it wanted a path to solely dominating it and using China as the springboard for building a Japanese superpower.

Total war for the Russians mayhaps, it would be a cake walk for the Germans who never entered total war to begin with. The Soviets never had a strong unified army and were defeated conventionally by the Poles of all peoples

No one mentioning a good chance of (communist) revolution in France in the case of central powers victory. Imo more likely to succeed than the failed German one too.

Very unfortunate for the Frogs, but fortunate for the Africans who will be able to break free easilly and get a headstart in this timeline

The CP briefly control Eastern Europe and the balkans, until they quickly lose it during a series of civil wars and protests. Communism probably never gets off the ground, but Russia remains outside of Europe proper anyway. A-H collapses a few years later anyway. Nothing significant changes with Britain or USA. France falls into chaos briefly, and might end up with a pseudo-fascism. Italy certainly either becomes fascist (if you’ll allow the term when it would be called something else in this timeline) or republican, but the monarchy is fucked.

Real wildcard is Japan, but its imperial ambitions in China are fucked no matter what.

>>16597563
Much better. Germany would replace great britain.

>>16597750
The Kaiser would have built a buffer state?
Did you mean Russia, because that's what Poland was leading into World War 2

also this guy >>16597763

The point of both of these is that the peace imposed by Germany would have been equally as retarded as Versailles, if not more so.
Germany would have imposed a Brest-Litovsk on both ends and expected the august authority of the Reich to make everything peaceful and profitable. It might have stuck as long as they were guzzling war reparations.
The only thing that came out of Versailles that didn't contribute to the next giant war was Wilson telling everyone to take it easy. An Axis victory would contribute everything to the next giant war.
Except both borders would be Versailles level retarded and Britain would never accept a German world order it had spent millions of lives to prevent.

See Kaiserreich

France is reduced to irrelevance
Russia is pinned back into Russia proper and becomes angry and revanchist led by some republican autocrat (i.e. like today)
Austria-Hungary gobbles up the rest of the Balkans, is saved from collapsing by German troops propping up the Hapsburgs
The British Empire collapses and they become an American client to protect themselves from German blockade

At some point the US and Japan go to war over China. Russia joins in with the US to get revenge for the Russo-Japanese War, Germany jumps in to screw Russia again. Britain joins to screw Germany. Basically WW2 happens except in this world Germany is stronger and Russia is weaker, so Germany might win this time.

The pacific war still happens
