I can't find where I read this, but somebody wrote a book on the ending of WW I, and according to this book Lenin offered to break up the Soviet Union if the U.S. would recognize his government. He'd give independence to various regions, only keeping half of the Ukraine (presumably he wanted a Black Sea port). But the U.S. refused. Would it have been a worthwhile offer?
Would the world really be much better, or would the Soviets use the other countries as puppet states?
