Hello again, as the title says what would happen to Bulgaria, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottomans if the allies had won the Great War a year or two early?

For this TL I'm going to actually be using the one where Rossevelt wins the 1912 election and uses the Invasion of Belgium, Lusitania's sinking, and the desire to flex America's muscles to go to war. If this is a divergence point you can't agree with then I appologize, but just assume Britain and Co. claim victory for whatever realistic reason. Secondly, the complications of Rossevelt presidency and all of the internal and external affaris it will engage in will certainly be drasticly altered over the next two terms. Even more so once the man's out of office and the TL moves on into the coming decades.

Now for the fates of the actors, lets say the war ends around February or March 1917.
  1. Bulgaria, probably the same as IOTL.
  2. Russia, I assume has its first revolution but the requirments for the October revolution might not arise. Regardless, the Tsar is probbably still out of the picture. (I know Russia was an ally, but it is also drastically changed by this TL.)
  3. Austria-Hungary. Do they still collapse as dramatically as OTL? I imagine that the two main kingdoms will split, but I'm not sure if the smaller countries like Czechoslovokia?
  4. Germany, I'm sure they concede a lot of territory and colonies to the Entente, however the war guilt cause may not be placed, nor will the entire bill be dumped on them. Whether or not the Kaiser will be deposed is another question that I am not sure of. I do think that some sort of Polish buffer state could be created.
  5. The Ottoman Empire, this one's the trickiest IMO, I'm not sure whether Britain and France go ahead with carving them up, or if the Hejaz Arabs go on to conquer greater Arabia, or if they manage to hold on to most of their empire.
