Lets say that Britain in 1915 opens unrestricted submarine warfare against the Central Powers, and many American ships are lost throughout that year, as well as 1916 and 1917. The tensions rise between Britain and England, to the extent that, fearing an American entrance into the war on the Central Powers side, they send a Telegram to Mexico in 1917, informing them that they will receive Texas if they were to join England in a war on America if war started. The United States, as well as the Germans intercept this message. Over the next month, debates spark around America as the boiling point is reached. Finally, in April 1917, the United States of America, declares war on the Allies and joins the Central Powers. Following soon afterwords, from fear of an American attack, Mexico follows America. Cuba, Panama, Siam, Liberia, China, Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Haiti also follow suite over the next month. (These nations followed America into the war IOTL).
Following this, what would happen....
My main scenario-
With American forces mobilizing, the obvious site of a possible war would be Canada and the Caribbean. In April and May, the first battles would be small naval skirmishes in the Atlantic and the Caribbean between Allied and American navies, most being American victories with far more firepower. At the same time, the United States Army and Marine Corps would stage raids on border towns in Canada.
The first major military action would be the American invasion of Canada, which would likely occur in June of 1917. The United States would almost immediately begin drafting, and with the first wave of draftees out of Basic training, they can be sent to a new offensive. The offensive would last for a month and its objective would be to secure Southern Ontario, as well as parts of the border across the massive lines. The offensive would be quick, with most Canadian forces on the Western Front. Within a month, the Canadians, mostly police and militia, would retreat to the north. The English would send as many troops to Quebec to counter the American war machine, and in August, would launch an offensive into Upstate New York, capturing cities like Albany, Buffalo, and retaking some ground in Toronto. The front lines reaching only about fifty kilometers from New York, which in some areas, is in artillery range. English ships at any chance they got would launch gas attacks at American troops and bombard coastal cities across the Atlantic seaboard.
The Americans now dig in for the winter, and organize enough troops to counter attack in December. They are swift, retaking most of New York and pushing deep into Quebec. Arriving Mexican and Brazilian troops take the reserves as more American troops swarm into the last British lines in Eastern Canada. The English by February of 1918 flee from Eastern Canada, leaving the rest of Canada to fight on its own.
On the Western Front on the American declaration of War, the Central Powers armies are virtually ecstatic from the news. The desperately needed Morale is given to the German troops, which, although their relations with America is also strained from the Submarine Warfare, hopes they can be close allies. Later that month, the United States joins the Central Powers officially. Some American divisions that joined the Germans in earlier years as volunteers are officially incorporated into the German or American armed forces, and American submarines start to swarm into the North Sea. Several victories for the Germans take place all over the front lines, but it goes mostly as OTL.
In the Pacific, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, all Allied are now at threat from the United States. The US Navy is deployed from the Phillipines, hunting down British shipping lanes, as well as Allied vessels. China, being now an Ally of the United States is now at war with most other nations who occupy parts of their nation, tying down nearly 100,000 Allied troops in the process, and as the months go on, more and more Allied troops are tied down in the Chinese "Rebellion". Other battles in the Pacific would take place outside of Vladivostok between the Russians and the Americans, probably being an American victory and destroying most of the Russian Pacific fleet. Other campaigns might include the Americans trying to take the German colony captured in the Early war in New Guenai, as well as a capture of Hong Kong.
The next year on the American front will once again go well for the Americans, an Offensive to take the French Guyana takes place by the Brazilians, and a joint American/Cuban Offensive takes the Bahamas, Jamacia, and Bermuda. By May of 1918, the Americans have most of the Caribbean under their hands, and begin planning to take action in Europe, where the stalemate still continues.
In Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution continues. Seeing the devastating American Attack at Vladivostok the Previous year, Leon Trotsky is asked to negociate with the Americans, as well as the other Central Powers. They sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Germans, giving much of East Europe to Germany, and the Treaty of Vladivostok, giving America permission to send troops through Russia into Germany to support the Central Powers, as well as full access to the Sea Ports. Over the next month in June-July, American forces land at Vladivostok for the long Journey ito Germany.
The Americans, gaining naval superiority in the Atlantic, being to attack British positions along the African Coastline, as well as infiltrating the Straits of Gibraltar. American vessels in August break through the Allied Blockade of Germany, and manage to keep it away from Germany. Over that month alone, over 90,000 American troops arive at the front lines. With the British loosing total control of the situation over the next few months, and a massive Central Powers offensive in September, Britain gives up and in October, signs a ceasefire with the Central Powers. On November 11th, 1918, the French surrender unconditionally to the Central Powers.
Over the next days, Englands Commonwealths who remained in the war with France also sign on, Japan, still fighting the Naval war, also signs the Armistice.
In 1919, the Treaty of New York in signed. It does the following...
-France has the total blame for starting the war.
-France is to reduce its military force to 100,000 Soldiers.
-France is to give up all lands up to Metz, Cosica, as well as all Foreign colonies to the Central Powers
-The territory between Paris and Germany is to be Demilitarized, with Central Powers occupation.
-France must pay total war reparations to the Central Powers
-The current French government must resign and give way to new elections.
-Frances Navy is to be dismantled or given to the Central Powers
-Belgium is to be completely annexed to Germany.
-Luxembourg is to be annexed by Germany
-All territory gained in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk is to be kept by the Germans
-The Treaty of Vladivostok as punishment to the Russians is to still stand
-The English overseas colonies of Hong Kong, South Africa, and other colonies in the Pacific are to go to American control.
-The Royal Navy is to be cut by 50%, and no ships are to be built until 1930
-The Royal Army is to disband approximately 50% of its men
-The Territory of India is to remain under American control until 1935, in which it will be returned under joint American-Anglic Control
-Greece is to be split between the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary
-Egypt is to be given to the Ottomans
-Persia is to be given to the Ottomans
-Libya is to be given to the Ottomans
-Northern Italy is to be a Protectorate of Austria
-The Italian Armed Forces will be split in half from its current size
-The Po River down to Rome is to be a Demilitarized Zone
