Depends on how long the war goes on. A long war would have both sides battered and spent regardless of who won. Not to mention regardless of the victor, the outcome would have one side dictate unequal terms to the other, creating resentment and vengeance. A short war is better for either. Though I think a German short war victory might be better for the long run

The world would only be better if the Byzantine Empire never fell.

Honestly yes. WW2 wouldn't have happened, more stability in Africa and Europe. You'd have more imperialism, but going off Kaiserreich, it likely would've faded over time into like a constitutional monarchy. With our reality, the Entante HEAVILY punished the Central Powers and created resentment, then created a global depression, then pulled away from imperialism sooner and allowed the rise of communism and this a century of war and genocide and instability. As far as I know, Germany's colonies actually liked them being there. Both ultimately aren't so bad realities, but I believe yes

It kinda depends just how much more chaotic the interwar period is and just how badly the entente loses

Yes, but only if victory came early in the war. A late victory, by anyone, would result in some sort of Versailles Treaty for the loser, which is going to have the same result, as it did in reality: A twenty year truce.

Honestly, I don’t know. If Germany won, the Nazis would’ve never rose the power. On the other hand, there could’ve been a good chance that the French and British would’ve became fascist just like Germany did in our timeline. Unless they become socialist like in the Kaisereich mod.

This showcases the audience that watches videntis really well. The late German Empire had already transitioned to basically a military dictatorship lead by the same types of people who would later play a role in developing Nazi politics, having them in charge over the entirety of Europe is extremely dangerous and volatile. And that's not even mentioning the shithole that was the Ottoman Empire coming to rule over whatever's left of Armenia, a full genocide there is practically guaranteed. But hey wE HaVE DA KaIzaR iN ChaRGe DaT iZ EpIK!!1!

Much better than today though all in all WW1 was such an easily preventable conflict that the west never truly recovered from. I say this with the opinion that the Belle Epoque years were probably the peak of humanity especially in terms of optimism and traditional values/norms.

The only way I see Germany winning being objectively better is if the war is won quickly, if it’s won in like 1918 then you’ve already got stuff like the USSR, but if it’s won early enough that could be avoided

It wouldn't have mattered. A treaty as harsh as Versailles for either side would've created another war anyways.

Depends on if Germany had been as harsh as the allies were in our timeline. Who knows, there might be a universe where the Central Powers were as harsh as Britain and French were in our timeline and some Hitler copy came to power in France because of that.

It would have been better if the greedy british didnt start the crimean war and the russian Empire (Third Rome) wouöd have Reinstalled Byzantine in Place of the Ottomans

Realistically if the anglo saxons won in 1066 our world would be soooo much better

i think if Germany won around 1918 they would be in a horrible state and most likely had the kaiser overthrow. if they won earlier it would of most likely delayed many human rights and organizations like the U.N form being made and it also depends if Germany keeps its mixed democratic system or loses or becomes a fully democracy

Depends on what you mean by “won”. There’s tons of different scenarios of what a German victory would have looked like
