If Tsarist Russia managed to barely hang on into 1918, without a substantially better military performance, how would they effect Versailles and the other treaties that ended WWI?
Perhaps with a better war economy (with no Prohibition, a moderately improved rail system, better management of price controls, less ineffective bond system, and perhaps other things Russia can improve) Russia can just barely feed more people and ease shortages to keep morale up slightly. Lenin dies, Kerensky never takes over, and the Russian Army pulls out some significant success against the Ottoman Empire in 1917 which bolsters morale just enough. Russia limps into 1918 barely functioning but still going. The Ottomans and Bulgaria surrender early in 1918 and AH and Germany by the Summer with Russia claiming a victory. While assuming the US still enters the War, Russia occupies most of Anatolia but not Constantinople, and doesn’t reach its prewar borders with Germany.
In this scenario, what does Russia likely go for? What do the US, UK, France, Italy, and Greece do in response?
For a second question, we recently had a thread asking what Versailles should have been, if you were in charge of Russia during this peace what would you go for, given hindsight? Without it?
