How plausible would an early WWI POD leading to another period of American imperialism (perhaps Asia, middle east) be? My thought is that after a shorter time in "somebody else's war", the US military is stronger than ever, and wants to do some empire building of its own. Is their any plausible way that the US could own Iraq/Kuwait by let's say 1925? Could this influx of oil money from the Middle East help offset the depression even a little?
