It is often theorized that the world would be a better place if the Entente defeated the Central Powers in the Great War. Many bad things following the great war are direct results of the German victory. There would likely be no syndicalism in France, Italy, or Spain if the Entente won, and the French and Spanish civil wars would have been averted. The expulsion of Poles from the territory Germany directly annexed and the many deaths this caused would have never happened. In addition, if the red army defeated the white army because the Germans didn't intervene, the Russian National Government would have never taken power, butterflying away the Russian pogroms against Jews and the Russo-German war. The Soviets were not anti-Semitic and likely would have been too weak to launch the war on Germany. Finally, Austria-Hungary would have likely been peacefully dismantled by the Entente, preventing the horrible mess of the Austro-Hungarian Civil War and the Third Balkan War. If the Entente won, Germany would likely have been demilitarized like France, but the German syndicalists were too weak to have taken power, so Germany would probably keep whatever democratic government the Entente would have put in charge. In all, many horrible wars and atrocities would have been avoided and the many syndicalist states of Europe would be democratic.
