What would be the effects on the 20th century be if the Central Powers won the first world war and would the they be able too stay together and maybe form a long standing union and how would the world generally be? Any opinions should be backed by reasoning or some kind of proof

That really depends at what point did the central powers won? Did the germans successfully invade belgium, knocking out france and then turned around and knocked russia out? Did the german plan of sinking enough cargo to make the british surrender worked and the triple entente surrendered? Did arabs rebel against the ottoman rule? All of these answers would lead to different outcomes.
I really can't see how Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans could have lasted much longer. Germany would be sinking a shitton of cash into trying to keep them together.

In reality it would have been better for everyone including the allies. Germany wouldn't have gone batshit under Hitler.

It's frankly hard to imagine how this scenario could possibly have worse results than the aftermath of Allied victory in WWI, the years leading up to WWII, and the instability that followed both for decades.
