It occurs to me that if the Bolshevik Coup had failed, every one of the world's great powers would've come out of the war as a democracy. And without a fear of communism, the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany would've been averted. The only problem child would've been Japan after 1928, but even there the fall of Taisho democracy was partially a product of the red scare. There'd be plenty of issues in the 20th century namely decolonization, the atomic bomb, and trade, but it'd be a far more boring century than OTL.
