DBWI: German Empire not broken up

At the end of the Great War, in the treaty of Lyon of 1924, the German Empire was broken up into seven small states; The Kingdom of Hanove-Westphalia, the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Baden-Wurtemburg, the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Kingdom of Saxony, and the Democratic Prussian Republic.
what would have happened if, say the war had ended in 1918, what would've happened to Germany?
 
Depends on why the war would finish in 1918. Anyway, I'd assume nothing would really happen as the war itself would not have gone on for very long at that point.
 
One scenario id thought is if the Flu of 1918 had been worse and everyone just agreed to a ceasefire/armistice because of the mounting civilian deaths from the flu.
 
A united germany would have been a bulwark of strength against the soviets. As it was the Russians under stalin saw weakness and invaded poland which led to a decade long war that only ended after the bomb was dropped on moscow. Sure this made france nice and secure but it came at the price of making europe as a whole less secure.
