1 Lenin gets his way, and the oringinal treaty is signed, ceding only Poland and Lithuania. Do Finland and the Ukraine achieve independence, and who has the most influence over them: the Soviets, the Western Allies, or Germany?
2. Trotsky as Stalin. The Soviets fight on after the ultimatum of February 23.. That seems highly unlikely given the speed of the German advance, but perhaps they realis they have over-extended themselves, and still hope for the expected revolutions and perhaps Allied support. Which of the Civil War factions might side with them and which with the Germans, answer which will sit it out? Can they hold out long enough to prevent the Spring Offensive and bring about an early surrender on the Western Front?
