WI a United States President in 1915 was more pro ally than Wilson in OTL. (I do not know the candidates for this other than Teddy Roosevelt but I suspect there would be others
The Lusitania is hit but not sunk.
(It seems that in OTL the fact that the liner was sunk was an appalling piece of bad luck involving coal dust and air being near the torpedo explosion at a particular concentration as to make them explosive.)
If the US declared war but there was a LARGE minority (maybe a majority) in public opinion is against the WAR.
Would a divided US still be able to decisively shift the balance to cause and earlier allied victory?
Might this prevent the Bolshevik coup (alias Great October Revolution) in Russia?
Could opposition to the war create quite radical shifts in American politics?
Alternatively might the adminsitration manage to be even more oppressive in this ATL 1915 than Wilson was in OTL 1917-9
