More Substantially Partition Germany Post WW1

Ala something akin to the way it was partitioned post WW2. Also could the WW1 victorious powers have marched on Berlin and with what consequences?
Yes, I know the Weimar Republic was smaller than the outgoing German Empire and there was a British and French presence in areas such as Alsace. Indeed the Brits wanted to leave after a few years whereas the French had turned nasty in the area which they occupied and a few people were killed by them! But what happens with a soul destroying partition of Germany?
 
The Allies could have gone on farther than they did in the war OTL, the only question is do they really have the will to absolutely finish off the Germans. Both sides were tired and influenza was ravaging everyone, desertion and mutinies were destroying troop morale and it was likely that any further continuation of the war was going to cause one or more governments involved in the war to collapse.

Partitioning Germany will probably largely nerf the entire country's ability to fight World War Two, but it won't destroy the sentiments that lead to its occurence, and the emergence of a charismatic monster like Hitler to give Germany its glory back (and reunite it) isn't out of the game either.
 
Simple. Keep the Tsarist regime in power till War's end. Then Russia and France will carve up Germany as they please and any British (or American if they are in the war) protests will just be ignored.

Pretty much that.

Though the question might be how long it would have lasted.
 
The French might be able the seperate the Rhineland and the Palatinate from Germany. Though I'd bet that this would be temporary at best - all German parties there, even the Communists, were against the French puppets.
