I was looking for details and apparently misremebered. Can't find any info online about it. It was a very unique set of circumstances that even let the Bolsheviks seize power in St. Petersburg in the first place, unlikely to be in play ITTL. Plus of course the chance for the CPs to toss them...

Yup. Don't forget the massive trauma of the survivors that was passed on to kids; there was a massive explosion of violence and serial killers in the children of the WW2 (and Korean war and Vietnam war) generation that caused massive social problems in the US.

Zionists no, since they effectively didn't get the state they wanted, the English played them. I suppose you could make the argument about the rest, but the fallout of WW2 really screwed a lot of those groups.

A Republic IIRC. IOTL it looked like the only option was a constitutional monarchy was on the table for them, which they accepted, but refused to elect a king until given more autonomy...which Germany refused to grant so the entire process fell apart...

Depends. Germany pre-war was very willing to let Austria deal with their internal issues on their own. Even in the so-called 'blank check' telegram Wilhelm even told FJ that whatever he did with Serbia was his decision, it wasn't Germany's business to tell him how to run his country, just that...

Germany only demanded B-L because Russia refused to quit the war and they decided to take all the grain they could get by grabbing Ukraine and the Kuban. I'm not so sure that Germany would go maximal in their demands here since they are also thinking of the long term ability to occupy it all...

FJ was deathly afraid of a civil war, so likely wouldn't have done that at this advanced age while Karl was too weak to try to go for that option judging by his wartime behavior. Unless he bows to more militant Austrian generals. German support would be more for keeping Russia off Austria's back.

Potentially. Depends on who is in charge. What you describe was actually what FF wanted to do minus German troop support.

I agree with you, but for the optimism about A-H. By 1917 even in victory they had fallen apart pretty badly and the Hungarians had gotten even more militant. At best they retain a personal union and alliance, but independent governance and the monarch becomes a figurehead. Also have to...

They'd be out of foreign exchange and couldn't purchase from the US. Shipping from elsewhere is not viable due to the distance and lack of hulls which means the Entente runs out of steel, food, gun cotton, and oil as well as suffers a major drop in number of shells it can produce (it was...
