Would it made a difference if the Germans had as many of these as the Americans and British had of their Liberty/Mark tanks?

Yes, but at that time the turnip winter was already a thing and the US was mobilizing.

It would have bought some time.

Not him, but a bad food situation in Germany as the war dragged in, due to the blockade and drafting people ordinarily working in agriculture.

Not possible until the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, by which point the horrific 1917 winter was already over.

Plus, in practice, taking over a huge chunk of territory required feeding your new subjects, and revolutionizing agriculture over a pretty poor area while you're fighting a deadly conflict isn't easy.

>I know literally nothing about WW1: The Post
Germany had established a colony in the occupied Baltic territories very early in the war known as Ober Ost with the intention of doing exactly that. On top of keeping the populace on starvation rations and extracting all the food they could, they relied on lots of forced labor. And even then, they couldn't even get a net profit out of there.

To a much more limited degree, they did the same in occupied Belgium and France, taking what food they could while leaving slightly reduced rations for the locals.

And to make the situation so much worse, Germany was also having to support Austria. Galicia was pillaged in 1914 and never really recovered, destroying the breadbasket of the Hapsburg empire. Already faced with food shortages, the Austrian half of the empire was hit harder because the Hungarians refused to export food, instead keeping domestic production reserved for ethnic Magyars. That meant the Austrians were having to import food from Germany, and Germany was forced to give what it could to them lest their only major ally drop out of the war.

No, not really. The defeat of Germany while ultimately also manifested at the operational and tactical levels - where the presence of tanks might have been noticed - was chiefly a strategic, logistical and industrial/economic achievement.

No, not unless you first remove the jewish backstabbers.
