What if the German Empire won WW1?

One thing that could be said if Germany won in the end. The country would have imposed peace on the defeated allies at the treaty of Potsdam, and it would not have had the reparations and grievances that were generally inflicted by France and Versailles. As a consequence, the rise of Hitler would have been less likely.

Which country was forced to accept all of the blame for WWI?

Other Central Powers (significantly, Austria-Hungary) signed different treaties with the Allies. The Treaty of Versailles is one of the most controversial armistice treaties in history. The treaty’s so-called “war guilt” clause forced Germany and other Central Powers to take all the blame for World War I.

Did Germany accept full blame for WW1?

Despite keeping much of their army in France, the Germans were still able to drive Russia out of the war by 1918. Without British support, even a Franco-Russian combination would probably have succumbed to German might.
