Germany wouldn't have "won" anything, really, remember. They'd be about as strong as they were before the war. Not a "superpower." World War I would exist, as the Central Powers and the Entente would've been duking it out across the world even if the war lasts for just a few months.

Germany must definitely would've won a lot, given they would've knocked France and Russia both down several pegs enough to make Germany the clear European mainland Hegemony. Simply by eliminating its two main rivals and accquiring advantageous territory and economic benefits would've seen Germany rise to at least roughly the UK's superpower status.
