um sameva a few things. a swift victory would haave little affect like has been stated by lg before. Germany as it was in 1914 even with a victory could not be considered a suppoer power, it would need a far more overwhelming victory porbably in a future war on a much larger scale were it gained significant power and land, maybe a germany that absorbs austria could come close to reaching super power status but doubtful it would need a very large power base, economy that could out produce all competitors amongst the great powers. your best bet for a super power would be a european union dominated by a greater germany, and it depends how this comes about, it is em doubtful in many respects.

im unsure about the usa being a super power in the traditional sense of the term before ww1 it had without a boubt one of the strongest economies and was a giant in its own right, but it lacked the world wide presence it gained after the war aand after the second world war which did wirthout a doubt cement its presence as a super power. im a bit more interested in what role the russians and germans would play in a central victory. France would without a doubt become extremely reactionary and could undoubtably become a monarchy once more, but if it webt to war again it would have been crushed.

actually it is widely known that germany did not wish to annex belguim they wanted to establish a vassal from what i ve read but i doubt the british or americans would have permited this, the most likely scenario would have been them taking the Belgian congo and take the polish strip in poland like they planned to otl.

Like i stated a Russian-german animosity would without a doubt spring up, and like i stated im really interested in this part.
