The Greatest Game: A TL

If Germany could impose such an uber-Brest Litovsk on Russia (Ukraine is larger than OTL), why didn't some Caucasian Republics become independent?

Furthermore it seems that the Ottomans and the Bulgarians didn't gain, and Italy didn't loose?

The Germans didn't really care about the Caucasus.

Correct, in fact Italy's not losing territory is stated in the latest update. As for reasons, both the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians were in not much state to absorb much territory by war's end.
 
British Fascist

If you're looking for a potential British Fascist leader, I'd look at Mark Sykes, who in OTL died of the Spanish Flu in early 1919 at the age of 39.

He was a Conservative MP and while his main sphere of interest was the Middle East, he was closely involved with events on the Western Front. If you want someone who could become the "angry veteran", he's a possible.

Given an existing political base and imagine an earlier collaboration with Mosley and you see where this might go.

Hmm...while I have some of the fascist leaders in Britain already defined (at least in my head), I'm sure I can find roles for Mosley and that guy you just mentioned.
 
On what is that map based? From my understanding, the Brest Litovsk borders and related planning had rather different ideas in mind in our timeline from those depicted on the map.
 
IV. The Wall Street Crash

By 1929, the world economy was in a boom period after the disaster of the First World War. America, having been unscathed by the ravages of war, was economically better off than most of Europe. New York had taken London's place as the world's economic capital. On the 13th day of September 1929 (a Friday [8], as it turned out) the New York stock exchange crashed disastrously. The panic spread and investors desperately sold their shares, perpetuating the crisis. By the last day of the next week, hundreds of firms had declared bankruptcy, and America's economy had fallen into depression. And the world swiftly followed.

In Germany, the government was swift to act, instituting several reforms and programs that saved Germany from the worst of the depression. But in Britain, the Conservative government famously mismanaged and ignored the crisis, an attitude famously summed up in the Prime Minister's quote when questioned on the crisis:

"Such things happen sometimes"

In early 1930, a vote of no confidence was issued to the Conservative government and a general election called. The mismanagement of the crisis in Britain, coupled with the feelings of national humiliation and the bourgeois fear of the working class, would lead to Lewis Hill and his British Imperial Party's landslide victory in this election and the seeds of another world war...

FOOTNOTES:
[8] This particular Friday the 13th is OTL (the date, not the events that took place).
 
This is good...

I love this--please continue...

(Of course, Conspiracy Theories may add a German bomb to the reason the Lusitania's cargo of munitions blew up...)

So far, seems quite believable
