Isolated US

=Isolated US= An engineer's design is approved, a telegram isn't sent, and a ship isn't sunk. How will this affect the world? We'll see.

Points of DivergenceEdit
In 1911, Gunther Burstyn designs the first cross country fighting vehicle with a swiveling gun called the Motorgeschütz (motor gun) which is based off an American agricultural tractor. The Kaiser, desperate to win the war, took interest in the design and started putting it into production. He sends the design to Austria, which also begins doing so. Germany begins winning more and more battles as the Motorgeschutz proves more powerful than French and British tanks. Using the new cross country tanks, Austria mounts successful invasions and conquests of various areas of the mountainous Balkans. Due to these land gains, the Central Powers become less focused on U-Boats strangling allied supply lines and try to stay out of the way of the US in hope that they will not join the war. The US becomes more isolationist. In 1915, the Germans do not sink the Lusitania. More isolationist politicians come into power. In 1917, the Germans do not send the Zimmerman Telegram as they want to keep the US out of the war. Meanwhile, most of the Balkans are conquered and the Russians backing out of the war to deal with crippling famines and keeping the country together after the revolution and in the midst of civil war. Germany occupies large parts of Russia.

State of Europe After the WarEdit
Europe is in shambles after the first world war. Britain and France's colonial empires collapse. Spain eventually joined in with the central powers to gain areas of Basque and to seize french north africa and so does Italy to gain French Somaliland and Libya. The Austro-Hungarian Empire splits into various states under ethnic strains and the German Empire cuts up the Baltics and parts of Russia to make into various puppet states. Russia completely collapses after the Civil War and a Muslim Basmachi State is formed in Central Asia. Japan occupies areas of Manchuria and converts the remaining white armies of Russia into a puppet state. The ethnic Russian areas of Russia are turned into the Russian SFSR with its capital in Moscow, Ukraine and Belarus are split between germany, cossacks and the anarchist free territory. Crimea is turned into a secular Tatar state while Armenia is annexed by the ottomans. Azerbaijan also becomes a secular soft socialist republic. Finland becomes an independent republic while Belgium and Netherlands are converted into German puppet kingdoms. Bulgaria and the Ottomans divide up the Balkans among themselves along with the various remnant states that once were Austria-Hungary. Italy reclaims Tyrolia. Britain experiences a civil war and the remaining colonial possessions are split up among Ireland, Scotland, and Britain(England and Wales). France is occupied by Spanish and German forces. Germany undergoes political strains and various colonial uprisings. The Kaiser's power is diluted until it is all held by generals, bureaucrats, and elected officials.
