“So it would have been better for the Kaiser’s Second Reich to dominate Europe and even the Americas in the early part of the last century?”

I really don’t know.

The war was so complex all I’ve settled on was that it ended poorly and set the stage for the rise of Hitler (piss be upon him) and WWII.

The Versailles Treaty was certainly a hot mess. It stands out as a prime failure of the League of Nations; and of course given Wilson’s heavy influence on that, it would be no wonder.

Too many think that the Kaiser and Hitler were the same.

Also, no offense meant towards your grandfather, but the Ottoman Empire (Caliphate) was a major ally of Germany in the Central Powers. Had the Allies not brought that Islamic empire to an end, then it’s possible that the State of Israel might not have come into existence, with the region remaining under the name “Southern Syria”. It’s also notable that the Islamic terrorists of today use Caliphate revanchism as a major component of its incitement against Israel.
