After the Zimmerman telegram was leaked, most people believed it was a hoax. It made sense too. Britain actually had a habbit of doing this. People shrugged it off. There was no evidence that Germany had actually done anything either.
That was until Germany admitted it was real. The German ambassador actually sent a telegram to a country in the midst of a devastating civil war to invade the United States, a neutral country.
The US promptly declared war and Germany lost to a revolution.
Let's talk about butterflies for a sec.
While Germany was winning before America intervened, things weren't going well for them either.
France was on the brink of revolution but so was Germany.
Ireland was revolting and the Russian Empire had collapsed but Germany was on the brink of famine.
Germany was a military dictatorship under the control of Ludendorff.
So from what I'm getting at is that it would be a pyrrhic victory for Germany.
If France collapses then Britain must sue for peace.
But that does not remove the fact that Germany would go through a famine or that Germany is either being ruled proto-Nazis or undergoes a revolution.
What happens to the post war period?
Who would win? The proto-Nazis or the Socialists?
Would the French Republic win against the Communists? If they don't will France join the USSR?
