If Germany would have won World War I in 1918 (as a result of no US entry into the war; this would likely cause severely financial problems for Britain and France and thus very possibly cause them to agree to let Germany keep her territorial gains in the East) and then overthrew the Bolsheviks and tried installing a pro-German puppet regime in Russia, what would the outcome of this have been?
Would there have been a large Russian insurgency against this pro-German puppet government--especially if it became very possible that this puppet government will try to undo the Russian Revolution and restore the old Tsarist Russian system? If so, would Germany have actually been able to crush such an insurgency or would Russia have become Germany's Afghanistan in this scenario--with Germany eventually becoming compelled to pull out as a result of it continuing to endure large-scale losses without victory being in sight?
Any thoughts on this?
