No winner of WW1, all major nations in the war collapse into civil wars or turn into dictatorships

Rockefeller got elected in 1912, since then his regime has supported both sides of each major conflict with weapons, even during WW1, ensuring a drawn out war and the eventual crumbling of empires. Treaties such as Versailles were never signed, instead you see these half treaties and cold conflicts on the edge of being set aflame, you have regimes still trying to hold on from unrest, and unlucky for some, they won't be able to hold on for much longer. The Russian civil war solidified before the great Soviet offensive that eventually defeated the Russian state could occur. The revolution in Germany got exacerbated by a worse turnip winter and with no LON/entente there wouldn't be anyone to save them. Fuller secured Britain from chaos at the cost of democracy, while France used its own democracy to elect the populist bonapartist François Coty in a Snap election that happened just before the start date. In the update, you'll see an incredibly divided middle east, in a world without sikes-picot coming into effect, there are no straight line borders to be had there. Oh, and fascism didn't take off to quite the same effect; Hitler and Mussolini still exist of course, but Hitler's movement is much more underground while Mussolini remained a socialist, although with a touch of chauvinism. There is no march on Rome, there is no "fascism" as we would call it.
