I wonder if there are ways Germany and Austria could have lasted longer.

I suspect that their leaderships were too incompetent but here are my thoughts of those Empires' best chances of survival from 1917

1) After the February Revolution publicly offere reasonable terms to Russia- no anexation of Russian territory, but a willingness to provide food. Russia to accept Austrian rule in the Balkans

2) Offer Italy generous terms after the Italian defeat at Caporeto?

(Possibly offer Italy Nice, Savoy and Malta if they attack France)

Any other options?
