WI Lenin not send to russia by the germans

How would WWI and the world afterwards evolve if the imperial germans didn't send Lenin back to Russia to cause a revolutions there?
 
Tsar abdicated in February and Lenin came to Russia in April, so revolution started anyway.

Yep, the Tsar abdicated in February, but what started then was Kerensky's White Government. The revolution in which Lenin acted was the October's Red Revolution (funny that it was truly November), so there were still several months until Lenin's revolution started.

As for the question, I think that Russia would hold out some more time (perhaps until December) before signing peace with the Germans, which might be worse or better than the Brest-Litovsk one. Kerensky might have to put down a revolution started by Stalin and/or Trotsky, but this might go better for Kerensky as Lenin was the one who provided the best leadership for the Communist group. Russia's holding out would mean that the Entente would fare better in the Western Front, as there aren't that many soldiers in the German side.

Treaty of Versailles might go the same way, and several of the most important things would happen the same way as in OTL (League of Nations establishment, Locarno's Agreement, Crash of '29, etc etc) but Communism wouldn't be as extended as in OTL, or perhaps wouldn't even exist as a major political force. This would, perhaps, turn the people against fascism as the next most dangerous ideology, and if the Europeans somehow manage to put aside their fights, they might band together to create a good economy that would help Europe recover from both WWI and the Crash sooner than they did in OTL.
