How would the world have changed had the Germans won WW1?

To make the convesation more focused, here are the three most likely points around where victory for Germany could be achieved:

>Easy Mode: Schliefen Plan is not outflanked
>Hard Mode: Verdun
>Wilhelm must die mode: Spring Offensive
>>
>>1723715

>Germany now becomes the big swinging dick in Europe
>takes most of British and French colonial territories
>France gets fucked over the most
>the Cross of Fire group starts gaining ground in France
>they end up taking over
>ww2 happens anway

alt-history is stupid anyway

Nationalism was an inevitable tide that would sweep the world. The Ottoman and Austro Hungarian empires would crumble into little petty states

Depending on how fast the war ended, Britain and France would be able to exert enough power to stall decolonization movements and would most certainly be there when the middle east falls.

The Kaiser would be in power but in a constitutional role, the germans peoples would by this point realize how dangerous absolute power could be and the liberal democracy movement was strong.

Russia would fall and the the USSR would come out of it.

Post war veteran groups will form the backbone of facist and right leaning militias.

The Great Depression still occurs

The USA might be more isolationist

The whole point of the war was to stop Germany from becoming the economic power house of Europe. Which happened anyway.

Main difference is Europe would've been a lot more conservative and there wouldn't be migrants everywhere. So the world changes either way.

Doesn't happen. Well, maybe French but to get British clay they'd need a way to threaten the Brits, which they still don't have.
Even then Brits might have just appropriated French colonies because German simply had no way to contest that.

The Schliefen Plan not being outflanked was pretty much an impossibility once Belgium decided they would resist. The Schliefen plan was also inherently dependent on a mobilization advantage. Germany and Russia kinda fumbled around on the mobilization since they didn't want to turn a Balkan Incident which Serbia was a prick about into a world war. France declared war and mobilized soon after Germany began mobilizing. You have to consider how long it would take to move troops to an offensive fight, even with railroads moving hundreds of thousands of men from Germany to France through Belgium was a tall task.

What are you on about? Russia's mobilisation was shockingly fast and it freaked everyone out
>>
>>1724856
When I say fumbled around, I was referring to the awkward 20-30 days after the assassination when Germany and Russia were trying to not mobilize so they don't escalate the situation into a European war, but also didn't want to stand down by delaying mobilization for too long and potentially forfeiting an advantage. Basically, they were indecisive on their initial decision to mobilize.

>France declared war
Isn't it the other way around?

>Germany does not declare unrestricted submarine warfare in January 1917
>Wilson & his banker puppeteers are stripped of their justification for bringing America into the war
>Russia is still knocked out of the war at Brest-Litovsk
>Without American reinforcements, Germany presses its numerical advantage against France instead of Britain & finally breaks through
>The Habsburg & Ottoman realms still crumble at the end of 1918
>Germany decides to throw both to the wolves just to get the war over with
>Carves out puppet states in the Balkans after annexing German Austria, while treating France respectably (only requiring it to join a customs union) to give Britain enough reason to make peace
>No more than 20 years after the end of the war, Germany turns east to put down Bolshevism for good
>>

Germany and the US grow in power. Socialism takes off in the West. The USSR appears but takes a few more years. WWII happens anyway under different circumstances. The Cold War ends up happening anyway, but again under different circumstances, but still a conflict between socialism and liberalism.

The specifics would be very different but in broad strokes not very much changes. Large empires either break up under the pressure of nationalism, or leapfrog to socialism to keep their empires together. The two sides then duke it out for some decades until one side is victorious, all the while deterred from a full-on conflict by the threat of nuclear weapons.
