The election of 1916, was decided by California, where Woodrow Wilson won just enough votes to win a second term as President, deafeating former Governer of New York, Charles E. Hughes.
It didn't have to be that way. Before the election, Hughes lost the support of the governor of California, a man who could have helped him carry the state, and thus give him the White House.
How would World War One have turned out with Hughes and not Wilson as the President who took America too war?
