    Woodrow Wilson in one term, transformed how the U.S would view itself in the 20th century, Even though the general public doesnt know much about him, he changed your life in more ways than you could have ever imagined.

    Sorry about the bad schedule. I've been focusing on more longer scenarios lately. Check out CynicalHistorian who helped out on this channel.

    Imagine being able to vote for Teddy Roosevelt and then NOT doing so.

    Because let's face it, Teddy Roosevelt actually understood what he was doing.

    So does Hitler make it into Art School in this timeline?

    Also, Wilson during the treaty of Versailles refused to give to Italy the land it was promised during the treaty of London, this lack of land was a major point in the ideals of fascism, so Wilson got us the meme of Mussolini wich made us a living meme.... Thank you Wilson... Thank you

    Fun fact, Ho Chi Minh brought a petition for Vietnamese independence to Woodrow Wilson, Wilson said self-determination only was meant for white countries, Europe more specifically. Ho Chi Minh then soon after saw the success of the Bolsheviks in overthrowing an imperialist monarchy, which he soon used as inspiration which eventually led to what we know today in Vietnam.

    If Hitler is this world’s Emperor Palpatine, Wilson is Jar Jar Binks.

    I will never forgive Wilson because of him starting the trend of US presidents not having dope ass facial hairs.

    I wish the Bull Moose Party stayed relevant. Progressive moose are awesome.

    So what you’re saying is, with a third term Teddy “The War to end All Wars” might have actually ended most wars.

    Another thing: Woodrow didn’t allow for Italy to claim the Dalmatian Coast, which it had been promised in the Treaty of London of 1915. This was one of the things that led to the rise of Mussolini.

    Wilson is literally what both sides hate about each other.

    Sidenote, although Teddy Roosevelt died early in our timeline, if he’d been president in 1912 (and possibly 1916), he might not have gone on his expedition to the Amazon and nearly died of malaria. That bout of malaria probably shortened his life considerably.

    Teddy's death in 1919 was largely because of the physical strain of his expedition to Amazonia in 1913, after he lost the election. He nearly died (he tried to convince his son to leave him behind at one point) and his health was ever good afterwards. He'd probably have lived into the 1920's if he hadn't gone on that journey of exploration; and without his 1912 defeat, he wouldn't have gone.

    Actually, what Clemenceau is reported to have said to the idea of Wilson's 14 Points is "The good Lord Himself had only ten." Clemenceau had some great one-liners: about one of the WWI generals, he said "The only time he ever put up a fight was when I fired him." Another time, when he was near the end of his life, he was walking with a friend in Paris when a beautiful young woman walked past them. "Oh, to be seventy again" he told his friend.
