I don't have a POD or the experience in knowing the battleground to come up with a scenario where this happens.

But let's say that Germany ends up defeating the Allies. What happens next?

1) Does the Kaiser want to completely humiliate the French in an attempt to demoralize the population? I would assume they would annex the industrial part of France near their border as well as ports to the English Channel and perhaps even the Mediterranean. How far would they cut into France? Would they even want to occupy Paris?

I do think Germany would be as cruel as possible. They anointed Wilheim I at Versaille. Their intent in 1914 was to render France unable to attack it on a second front. Why wouldn't they do whatever they could to ensure that would never happen again?

2) What happens to England? I assume as part of the terms of peace they would need to hand over some of its colonies abroad? Does Germany try to eclipse England's sea power advantage? If they do find themselves able to do just that, do to they try and strangle England and make it come to heel?

3) What happens to a humbled US? Do they retreat to isolationism? Would they have to take any terms in terms of trade, credit forgiveness, reparations, etc.?
