Interesting... 🧐
Don't suppose you could elaborate on what the initial spheres of influence they agreed on looked like? Know there was some "back-and-forth" in the negotiations, but not all that much else.
At any rate, I suppose one way to carry it out is for the NKVD to roll out the mass-killings in stages much like their German counterparts. So, a wave of Katyn Massacres throughout eastern Poland to kill off the Polish leadership cadres and intelligentsia, followed by another Holodomor to starve a few million Poles to death while the NKVD shoots the survivors point-blank? Sounds plausible enough to me, I guess.
To be precise,official numbers are of poles who was tortured,sentenced and executed - and it is 111.000 victims.
But,if some dude died during tortures,he is not counted
If another died fighting his home,he is not counted
If another was send to gulag and died there,he also is not counted.
So,in reality,it must be more then 200.000
Before the Great War even dawned, Theodore Roosevelt had already predicted the outline of the 20th century. He reasoned that it was in America's best interest to first defeat Germany (on the grounds that Wilhelmine Prussianism was going to be trouble), and to then build it back up as the strong centre of an Atlantic alliance against Russia (which he correctly predicted would be the next great opponent).
If TR had gotten his way, there really only would have been one World War, and the aftermath would be more like that of the second one. No neutered League of Nations, but something more like a proto-NATO to keep Russia contained.
That sure would have spared us all a lot of bullshit and bloodshed.
Typical american mistake.United germany would ALWAYS be prussians - which mean,they would start another WW and lost it thanks to their stupidity.
So,good answer to world problems after WW1 would be:
1.Gave freedom to german old states
2.Occupy prussia for next 100 years
3.Carve Russia into smaller states,and gave Siberia to Japan.
No united Russia and Germany,no another WW.
