This is a continuation of my earlier list In Unity Security although, that probably needs retconning due to alterations I've made in my notes about this universe (which is a little world building project of mine). Kellogg becomes President on an internationalist agenda following a much bloodier WW1 and is succeeded by Hoover who, in this world, takes a more interventionist policy towards the depression (which only comes ITTL in 1935) as well as building on his international relief work in WW1 (more prominent ITTL due to the war's longer and bloodier span - lasting 1914-1919) to create an international eocnomic system. Wendell Wilkie is narrowly elected in 1936, continuing Hoover's work in strengthening the League and in investing in economic recovery. The withdrawal of the "Four Power Alliance" from the League in 1937 eventually leads to war against Germany in 1940 after she invades neutral but League aligned Slovakia. Wilkie guides the US through the first five years of the war, and is succeeded by former League General Secretary Cordell Hull, who is seen by "Unionist" politicians as the only international statesman with the gravitas to continue leading the League powers. Hull does not run again, and many progressive and internationalist Democrats either sit simply as "Unionists" reflecting their grouping in the League (and after 1947 UN) assembly or join the Republicans. As the 1950s role on the progressive and internationalist Republicans help guide the US closer and closer into the UN as it is guided by former President Hoover towards a true "World State"...
