Let’s say in 1915. Could Germany have won the war in this case? It could have focused all its forces on the western front and most likely defeated Britain & France. In 1917 it was already too late, the Germans had suffered massive losses and with the US entering the war the cards were heavily stacked against them.
Or let’s go even further: What if the revolution happened before WW1 broke out? Isn’t it more likely that Britain, France and Germany would have united in this case to fight a communist Russia in a sort of re-tread of the Crimean War?
What does anyone else think?

Then it would have been crushed. Without Russian's army getting annihilated in WWI, there wouldn't be popular support for the bolsheviks, and there would obviously be a much army to stop them, plus other countries would be able to send more support to the opposing forces.

I would have to put some-more thought into this, but the British Navy would still probably be victorious on the High-Seas, the trench warfare and the stale-mate that evolved because technology had evolved far faster than the war planning and military science of both sides, would of happened along the same lines, we are still talking a couple of years of attrition and since the US brought fresh troops towards the end of the war, this was a deciding factor.
Maybe the Germans could move the lines deeper? into France, or maybe flank with superior numbers?
You would have to give a time frame? would this be pre-1900? the allied world looked completely different before then.

It did happen earlier, see the Revolution of 1905... The Imperial government survived but the Duma was established...
