USA could do the same through Denmark or Holland.

And recover territories occupied by germans,too.Russian plans for vassal polish state were like that.Maybe even Oder river line. In that case,it would be better for Poland then OTL - the same territory,but without 50 years of communism.

Yes,that is what they should do.Russia would be really second world army now,and probable economy,too. Not mention 100 millions communism victim less. Better world for everybody,with possible excemption of Poland - but,we supposed to suffer for World salvation,so it would be OK ! ;)

Indeed.Germans were cyvilized people then,and horrified of what soviets did then. And tried to find one russian party which agree to peace with them,so they could replace Lenin with somebody better. Nobody agreed,all wanted die for Entente.WHAT THEY WERE,POLES OR RUSSIANS? Becouse they were...

In case of Russia - they prepared good and well-balanced artillery for their units/76 and 107mm guns,122 and 152 howitzers/,but failed to built enough factories to made ammo. Result - from 1915 they fought practically without artillery.It is kind of miracle,that they do not break earlier.

I remember cruel joke about that: How we get veteran regiment? by sending fresh dyvision in frontal attack on enemy HMG. Sadly,it was reality in many cases.Worst was that italian idiot,i forget name.

Hmmm....many WW1 generals were incompetent,so maybe...

Commander of 1th Army in the same year let about 20 german dyvisions run from encircment near Kielce. So,either he was genuine idiot,or german agent.

part of russian elite was baltic germans.Of course,that part of them supported Kaiser. And even russians did so - battle in Prussia in 1914 was lost becouse one general let germans destroy other army.

Indeed.If Kiereński do not made 1917 offensive,killed Trocky,or both,there would be no second revolution. Even without american troops. Worst.They had food - first revolution happened,becouse goverment stopped delivering it in Petersburg.They basically provoked revolution.Why? well,many people...

Italian navy during WW2 was good,so maybe in 1914 they could take Tunis? becouse i do not see anything valuable on Corsica.

If Turkey do not closed Straits for merchants - Russia would survive.No free Poland./but,possible vassal state on territories taken from germans and Austria/. But - no communism,too - so ,it would be better even for us. And,with Italy out of war,smaller A-H could actually survive.
