Did the Principality of Zeon have any hope of winning the One Year War following Revil's Speech during the Antarctic Negotiations and Zeon's subsequent Invasion of Earth?

No, because literally Hitler.

No. Zeon was severely outnumbered and bet everything on a quick invasion and occupation of key locations in the hopes of Earth signing a peace treaty. It wasn't the Gundam that caused Zeon to lose, it was Revil's Speech and Earth mass producing the GM and not fucking around with a million "prototype" or "superweapons". Another reason Zeon lost was because every mad scientist wanted to be the next Trenov Y. Minovsky and didn't care how much time, money, or energy they made their higher-ups waste on their stupid "masterpiece".

TL:DR Zeon was fucked from the start and Revil cased 100 years of war because of his speech.

Early destruction of the Gundam would have not only delayed introduction of the GMs but also reduced their combat effectiveness thanks to no data from the learning computer. But yeah, one of the biggest downfalls of Zeon's war machine was their numerous one offs and super prototypes fucking with logistics. The unified maintenance plan would have fixed this but it was too little too late. Another issue was Zeon's insistence to use aces until they died on the battlefield rather than use some of them to train new pilots. As a result late war most of their pilots were fairly green as many of the vets had died off without passing on their skills.

Zeon could have won, but only if they stopped being retarded.

I'd say they had no choice but to use their aces like that. The Principality of Zeon is tiny campared to Earth Federation, that is to say Earth and the colonies that stayed loyal to Earth. They didn't have the manpower to keep a war going. By the time the war came to A Baoa Qu most of the people fighting were kids fresh out of academy and soldiers who were sent back due to injuries. Not to mention all the Zeon soldiers that were left on Earth who didn't make it back to space.

Earth Federation = Russia

Zeon = Germany

Zeon was more competent in the beginning and had the edge, but they could afford less mistake than the Feddies can. Federation was completely incompetent in the beginning, but could afford to make alot more misteps through a combination of sheer luck (colony hitting Sydney instead of Jaburo, the White Base surviving to use it's combat data) and throwing hordes of Type 61s, and loads of infantry at Mobile Suit squads. Until they got GM's of course, which could outclass most Zeon MS given to grunts, except for Gelgoogs and other Mobile Armor which most new pilots couldn't use to their advantage anyways.

Wasn't there some crazy amount of time in between the creation of the Zaku II and the RX-78? If they couldn't force the Federation to sign a peace treaty within that amount of time considering how much of an advantage having mobile suits must have been I feel like Zeon lost the OYW the moment the Gundam was deployed.

He did nothing wrong.
