Bolshevism breaks out in defeated England and France, and spreads across much of Europe. Germany is a bulwark against Communism during the Cold War, which starts in 1920.
I could see it happening in France. It has a long history of political instability coupled with a love of Socialism. I'm not so sure that post-Victorian era Britain though would have been as susceptible to a revolution that would have toppled the monarchy. Keep in mind that the monarchs in Germany, Russia, and Britain were all first cousins. I'd imagine that once peace was settled the Kaiser would be very ready to lend George V a hand in maintaining his throne.

They kicked out Churchill and put in Labor when they were wrapping up WINNING a war. I don't think a Bolshevik revolution in England is far fetched at all after a WWI loss. Sure, Germany would have had an interest in preventing this but realistically I'm not sure how much they could have done.
