How much stronger and better off would Germany be right now had it won World War I?

No Germany can WIN.

I referred to the military conflict. Just the US pulling out will not lead to a 1918 style romp through Paris for the German army, it won't lead to any form of military victory for either side. In that respect, Germany cannot win. Neither can Britain, neither can France or any other participants.
My summary of the afterwards, Pax Germania in Central and Eastern Europe, Pax Britania at sea is the short version.
The "winning" that happens afterwards, and given how you have phrased your post, I think you agree, is another matter.
 
Yep, talking about consolidation i remember that i read on history books that Brazil(My country hihi) get several economic problems with this war(my state was the most affected because +- 45% of our products was exported to Germany, my city population helped a little bit in hiding SMS Eber.) but even After war [With German Victory] Brazil Couldn't make a good alliance with Germany because US maybe would like to maintain its influence in south america which could trigger a new war but, with Germany Advanced U-boats Brazil could stay Safe. Even US losing the war on "Europe" i think Germany will hardly be able to expand your influence Arround the world, maybe US "Economic/diplomatic War" agaist Germany.

Expanding on the Latin America bit, how would a German victory affect the region? Would countries like Haiti benefit from more German investment or would countries that tried to escape the American orbit be rather harshly suppressed?

Brazil would slowy fall into the german sphere of influence

The brazilian old republic had strong german influence, so much that we received WWI newsreels from Germany in portuguese:


The -teuto-brazilian community was gigantic also, the first cinema opened in Brazil was the cinema bosch, opened by german immigrants, and the list goes on, the brazilian army even sued the pickelhaube until the 1910s:

if Germany play the right cards they can have Brazil as their main economic partner in south america, along with Argentina of course

(the military police of the state of Santa Catarina used the pickelhaube until 1932, the state with largest german presence in Brazil is Santa Catarina)

A lot of this depends on the terms of the German victory. If there's some sort of Anschluss with Austria/Bohemia and a German union with the Baltics along with the 'Polish strip' and some minor border adjustments in the west Germany would be nigh unassailable.

Between that and the trade union it undoubtedly starts to build Germany probably has a great deal more influence globally than it did historically.
 
If Germany And Austria merge Also some parts of North italy Could be Annexed

If Austria falls apart (pretty much required for alt-anschluss to even be possible) then I'd expect Italy to retake most of what it might have lost in the war like how Romania walked into Bessarabia when Russia sued for peace. Unless I'm underestimating German ire towards Rome I'd expect this to be tolerated, if for no other reason then Germany will have its hands full as the sole party trying to hold together postwar Europe.

Couldn't Germany use A-H's disintegration to buy off Italian support?

Germany lets Italy eat Trent, Istria, Dalmatia and gives her the right to "inherit" the sphere of influence over the Balkans.

Of course it needs Germany to have a competent leadership, which post-Bismarck Kaiserreich isn't famous of, but it is a possibility.
