I’ll tell you what we wouldn’t have had. No Hitler, and no Holocaust.
But we’d have a Communist Russia with a chip on it shoulder regarding Germany and all of the evil that that portended.

The agreement that doomed a continent.
When I taught jr high history, I told the kids that WWI had/has consequences that we face today more so than WWII—the Middle East, the Balkans, the rise and fall of Communism, the recognition in the European colonies that Europe wasn’t all that civilized, not to mention the gutting of an entire generation of European men.

Well, Germany did defeat Russia in the sense that Russia withdrew from the war after the 1917 revolution. Germany signed a peace treaty with the Bolsheviks that gave them huge amounts of Russian territory. The Germans then started moving troops from the Eastern Front to the West and from their point of view it was a race to see who (them or the USA) could put enough troops to make a difference.
