Let's say that Germany decides on invading Russia while defending against France or whatever PODs made to get them to defeat France and Russia before 1916, as it needs to be a short war.
Germany now controls the Baltic States and the Ukraine, along with the shattered portions of Austria Hungary. Several German puppet states are erected along with the remains along with whatever countries of Europe that benefit from being on it's side.
Would a German-US cold war inevitably result as German influence over Europe becomes significant?
What would the result of the Middle East be? I know the Ottoman Empire would collapse, but would Turkey be bigger in this timeline? Would they have Armenia and parts of Iraq and Syria? Might the Armenian Genocide be much bigger and possibly extend induced famine?
What happen of Italy? Would they still turn fascist? Would they be allied or against Germany?
What would happen of France? Would they side with Germany or Britain?
Also who would win in this alternate Cold War scenario? I think what makes this interesting for me
