The German railroad car smuggling Lenin into St. Petersburg is intercepted by Tsarist forces, and Lenin is executed along with his compatriots. Without Lenin, the Communist rebellion in Russia never becomes organized enough to garner widespread support and falls apart. Tsar Nicholas II maintains his tenuous grasp on power long enough for the provisional government to bleed both Germany and his own country dry. Germany, having advanced across much of the Russian front but pressured from the western front sued for peace in 1917 on slightly more favorable terms. Battered and bloodied, Russia began to pick up the shattered remains of her once vast empire, slowly ceeding control to quasi-democratic elements within the country.

| - The German railroad car smuggling Lenin into St. Petersburg is intercepted by Tsarist forces, and Lenin is executed along with his compatriots. Without Lenin, the Communist rebellion in Russia never becomes organized enough to garner widespread support and falls apart. Tsar Nicholas II maintains his tenuous grasp on power long enough for the provisional government to bleed both Germany and his own country dry. Germany, having advanced across much of the Russian front but pressured from the western front sued for peace in 1917 on slightly more favorable terms. Battered and bloodied, Russia began to pick up the shattered remains of her once vast empire, slowly ceeding control to quasi-democratic elements within the country. The western democracies meanwhile, relieved of the damage of the 1918 offensive, resumed their industrialized assent. Without the spiritual and logistical aid of the Soviet Union, socialist and communist movements in the west faltered. However, without the 'Red Menace', the general fear of communism began to subside.
