What do you think that eastern Germany's (East Prussia, West Prussia, Pomerania, Posen, and Silesia) fate would have been in a scenario where Germany won WWI (late in the war--as a result of the U.S. cutting off its loans to Britain and France in 1917)?
Would eastern Germany--with the exception of industrialized Silesia--have continued to stagnate due to its agricultural economy (while the rest of Germany was rapidly industrializing)? Or would eastern Germany have experienced a revival in its economic fortunes in this TL as a result of the German military-industrial complex moving into there in order to use as a base for Germany's governing of Eastern Europe?
Any thoughts on this?
