woodrow wilson

Suppose that Theodore Roosevelt never made his 1904 pledge to not run for a third term, and he runs and wins in 1908. In this scenario, who wins in 1912?

In 1916, Charles Evans Hughes narrowly defeated President Wilson by a margin of 267 to 264 in the electoral college. But what if Wilson had been re-elected?

Theodore Roosevelt originally planned to sit out the 1912 election and wait for 1916. But he later changed his mind and unsuccessfully challenged President Taft in 1912. After being denied the Republican nomination, he ran on the Progressive ticket and came in second place to Woodrow Wilson...

Ch 1. - “His Superfluous Excellency” "[the Office of Vice President] is one anomalous insignificance and curious uncertainty." - Woodrow Wilson, c. 1885 in his book “Congressional Government”. The typical newspaper headlines the week following October 2nd, when President Wilson passed of a...

Much has been written about Teddy Roosevelt winning the Republican nomination in 1912, but is it possible to get him as president on the Progressive ticket? I imagine that this would require a different Democratic candidate and potentially a scandal. Is there any way this could be done...

During the Progressive era, many politicians began to feel the need for a national primary system. Such a system would involve holding all presidential primaries on the same day - as opposed to the current system where the primaries and caucuses are held over a period of many months. In 1915...

There's a general opinion on this forum that had Hughes beaten Wilson in 1916 and taken the US into WW1, he would most likely have lost in 1920 due to the bad economy, rioting, and backlash against internationalism that plagued Wilson and helped elect Harding by a wide margin. However, was there...

Theodore Roosevelt's original plan to make a presidential comeback was to not run in 1912, but then run as a Republican in 1916. However, under pressure from left wing Republicans and compelled by his own sense of duty, Roosevelt challenged Taft in 1912 before making an unusually successful...

IOTL, Wilson suffered a severe stroke in October 1919 and his wife, Edith, took over many of his presidential duties. What if that stroke had instead happened in October 1918, during the last days of World War I? There are two possible outcomes to consider here: As OTL, but earlier. Wilson...

This timeline explores the possibility of a peace treaty between the Western Entente and the Central Powers in 1917. The pod would be a greater acceptance of President Wilson's Peace Note in 1916. The timeline will mostly be told in expository writing but I may write part of it in narrative...

So after reading a little bit about the 1910s, I was wondering how history would have progressed differently had Democrat Woodrow Wilson won the 1912 election instead of Theodore Roosevelt. Would the US have joined the Great War? Would Colonialism still be as prevalent as it is in OTL?

Could Theodore Roosevelt win in 1912? Not as a getting the Republican nomination but as a third party cabidate? What does a third term look like? Did Wilson win in part as a "galvanized Yankee" that is to say a Southern person who was a Northern Governor?

In this challenge you must revive the Wilsonian ideals after WWII. To make things a bit easier, the US does not need to stick to it during the whole cold war, but at least one president must be a firm Wilsonian.

Introduction At the end of the democratic national convention of 1912, woodrow wilson descends the stage on the sunny day of july second, however during his final speech, a shot rangs out. Suddenly the presidential nominee is bleeding out on the floor choking. Wilson, while he survives, has been...

Since we already have a Wilson thread in After 1900, figured there ought to be one here for our other resident bugbear, Mr. President General Andrew Jackson. I sort of have my reasons, I suppose, already, but I'm not sure how entirely well-founded they are, so I'll keep mine mum for the moment...

Okay, Woodrow Wilson, as I understand it, wasn't a very nice man. I know that he introduced segregation in the US military and awful stuff like that, but, given that the United States has had Presidents who have owned slaves, personally killed people, and been James Buchanan, what exactly is the...

Charles Evans Hughes was the Republican candidate for President in 1916, going against Woodrow Wilson. He lost the presidency by twenty-two electoral votes, and California by about a third of a percent. In his campaign, the former Supreme Court Justice snubbed Governor Hiram Johnson of...

So, let's say that Charles Evans Hughes ekes out a win in 1916. He's still involved in a more or less the same First World War, and his chances for reelection look dismal in 1920, with every minority under the sun hating him, although his opposition to the League of Nations might win him some...
