What if the defeat at Caporetto in 1917 was somehow worse and the Central Powers offer separate peace terms that are reasonable and Italy leaves the war in late 1917? How does that impact Italy and what does it mean for the Allies now that A-H has no active fronts and can demobilize a large part of it's forces for agriculture and whatnot, while freeing up it's production to rebuild it's collapsing infrastructure? Beyond that Germany wouldn't have to supply it with as much to keep it going. Having read enough about the state of the A-H forces, the 4 divisions sent IOTL to the Western Front were in no way ready to fight a modern Western Front foe and fared badly and were relegated to a quiet sector; let's assume for the sake of argument that beyond that no A-H divisions are sent to fight in France.
