I had an idea for an alternate timeline, where Germany splits up after WWI. After doing some research I decided that the split takes place in 1912, with William Jennings Bryan dying to a heart attack, resulting in all of his delegates voting for Champ Clark, thus Clark wins the Convention, and the RNC chooses Woodrow Wilson for VP. In 1916 Clark/Wilson win reelection and the United States does not enter WWI. The German Revolution is far more brutal in TTL, with several states, Hanover, Bavaria, and Eastern Prussia, breaking off. Ultimately the German states end up joining Prussia, with the exceptions of Hesse, Baden, Wurttemberg, Alsace, and Bavaria, which all remain independant.
