A victory for Germany would have avoided bolshevism in Russia and the Second World War.

No. Russia's monarchy would have suffered the same fate - defeat, actual or perceived, would have killed it off. The only winning move for Russia was not to play.

Those who organised the Black Hand movement to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand have a lot to answer for.

Yes, but a strong Germany would have been a check on the Bolshevik expansion, if even it had gone permanently Bolshevik under these circumstances.
