What does the country look like if the US never enters WW1?
WW1? I'm not sure by how much. The actual war, America didn't do a whole lot. It was already starting to wind down. Certainly not like WWII.
That said, no push for the League of Nations and then not having the US within it? I mean, WWII occurred because Hitler was able to rile up the Germans over war concessions and the Depression. Japan went to war over natural resources and because of the Depression.
I think the Depression had a greater impact on how the world was shaped than much anything else.

When the US entered WW1 it represented a very sharp paradigm shift in US foreign policy. A paradigm that we are still living under today.
Had America not entered the war, and the new Russian government is unable to hold the Eastern front, how does that war end? Does it affect the timing/motives that created WW2?
How much of the Global Depression born out of nations that indebted themselves during the war effort of WW1?
Dan Carlin has this great line when talking about this:
"When you owe the bank money, they have power over you. When you owe the bank all of the money, you have power over them."
How many nations fell into economic depressions because (a) they could not keep up with the cost of their debt or (b) the debt that they held was uncollected?
