France had a chance, in 1917, like other allied belligerents such as America and Britain, to collaborate, to cut Leninist Revolutionary Russia down to size.
Now, maybe it's GAS OFF for France.
Look what just happened to Turkey! Boom!
Of course the Sultan was on the wrong side in WWI, so the Middle East Ottoman empire got carved up (butchered really).
This should have happened to Russia instead, not the Ottoman Empire, but for very different reasons, and into appropriate very large agrarian provinces.
Call it a hypothetical retrospective Morgenthau Plan for Leninist Russia.
