This is a broader question related to one I previously asked, with a similar starting point.

The first POD is in the 1860s, where the Confederacy wins over the Union. This is through some better decisions by the CSA, some luck, and weariness from many in the USA. There are some alliances with the USA and Germany, plus CSA with Britain, but for the most part the North American continent fights all of this on its own, and mostly stays clear of European politics for the next 50 years. I know that this scenario opens a LOT of discussion on its own, but for now, assume that this is what happens.

WW1 starts virtually identical to how it did in OTL. Because of foreign alliances the CSA & USA end up going to war again, but there is a long enough border to battle over that they really can't send troops overseas to help Britain or Germany. So WW1 is fought without North American involvement, and the North American faction of the war is pretty much a proxy of the European war. Again, this is a huge POD in many places, and opens up a ton of discussion, but it's not the point of my question. For my purposes assume that Germany/Central Powers win in Europe in 1918. In North America the USA gains some territory in Canada (which Britain can't really defend properly due to the European war) and possibly a little in the CSA, but since the CSA has had 50 years to increase productivity and prepare to stand against the USA, it ends up being a bit of a stalemate. What I'm thinking here is similar to Turtledove's TL-191, but without the trouncing against the CSA in that TL and without it becoming fascist.

Again, all of the above is necessary for the AHC I'm proposing, so assume that after 1918 the CP have won, Britain isn't in bad shape, and North America is split between the CSA and USA. Also assume that France then starts down the road to fascism, and some parties in that country have a serious grudge against Germany.

Please speculate what happens in Europe over the next 20-30 years. With Germany dominating, what happens to the rest of the countries, especially ones under German influence? Would a second world war ever happen, and if so, what would it look like? Would France ever find the allies or power to take the fight back against Germany? Does Germany remain dominant or does it eventually lose power? What changes happen in European monarchies & government with a CP win compared to OTL?

As an additional challenge, I'd like speculation on what happens both with the standard Bolshevik win in Russia as in OTL, as well as a new POD where the White Russians hold onto power against the socialists. How does these two TL differ, given the above circumstances?

And.....go!
