Earlier American intervention could affect Russia through pressure on Germany and through direct economic support. Simultaneous American, British, and French offensives would force Germany to reconsider how many troops it could keep in the east. Reduced German strength could improve the prospects for Russian operations such as the Brusilov Offensive or reduce the losses required to achieve similar gains. American credit provides another possible source of support for the tsarist government. Supplies could also travel from American Pacific ports to Vladivostok and then along the Trans-Siberian Railway. These are proposed consequences of the alternate timeline, with Russian military success and political survival still dependent on how events develop.
