In the counterfactual, an earlier peace could arrive before the October Revolution and prevent Russia from becoming Soviet. Russia would still experience revolution and lose tsarism. A non-Soviet Russia aligned with Britain, France, Japan, and Italy would form a major concentration of power. This outcome depends on peace arriving early enough in 1917.
