Kicking off in 1918/1919 would be good for radicalising the alienated vets who turned to street violence. Coming out of the blockades and turnip winter would also mean the public has a lot more to gain from socialism than a decade later when fascism was promising the same material gains at the expense of minority groups.
The thought has interested me enough that I've been working up an alt history timeline lol. I haven't worked out the details yet past changing the date of the uprising, but my rough plan so far is that once the counter-revolution is defeated in Germany and the USSR, Rosa returns to Poland to start agitating there, since she isn't killed in this timeline. With pressure from both the east and west from the two communist countries, eventually a communist government comes to power in Poland, opening up a land corridor from Germany to the USSR. That's as far as I've had the time to think about it though lol
