First off, let me make myself absolutely Clear. There should be NO DISCUSSION about WHY WWII didm;t happen :P Hitler went on to become a painter. No Nazi Part. Germany wallowed in economic stagnation before fighting a number of small skirmishes with Poland and Czechs. And then went into a...

I know this goes against the current POD, but as far as I am concerned, your BEST hope for keeping a Tsarist Russia is by preventign the assassination of Czar Alexander II. Alexander, partially due to his education, had developed a more liberal, humanist outlook, and in light of coming to...

Huh, no takers?

I don't see how... All of the "pieces" were in place well before the 1912 election. Woodrow Wilson was an isolationist and had little to no interaction with Europe up into the War. Any changes that would take place from TR being in place would more than likely simply getting America into...

Ok ok, Let us say for the sake of Argument that TR wins by the following... Taft, through a change of heart, or heart troubles, steps down as candidate BEFORE the republican convention. The GOP At the time thus suddenly have no choice but to vote for TR at the Convention in October... That...

So Theodore Roosevelt served from 1900-1908. He tried, and failed, to become President in 1912. lets say if he HAD won, would they let him have a full two terms? Knowing what we know about FDR during WWII, one might htink yes, but I am curious if it may not be the case.

I'll be hounest, there is not a lot in orginal history to go off from the daughters. I have looked and have not even found the dates the daughters died. ONE of them was known to marry a "Mr.Gjessing" in 1887, but that is about it. With Sam the elder keeping his fortune, and young Sam enhancing...
