Or that Congress would have listened had she tried to.

If war was somehow declared between the United Kingdom and Soviet Russia, would these strikes be prosecutable under the Defence of the Realm Act?
Lloyd George would almost certainly have opposed it, and King George V might well have supported him, which would have split the Unionists
Opposed what? The war or the DORA Act being used to silence strikes?
Probably both.
So, who in the British government would push for a war with the Soviets? Churchill? Someone else?
Churchill and Lord Curzon were the main ones.
Why did Lord Curzon push for a war with the Soviets? I've found information relating to his proposals for the Polish border with the Soviet Union, but nothing regarding his advocacy for a war.

So maybe Wilson's stroke kills him, and President Marshall establishes an alliance with the Japanese to support the white forces? If America does get militarily involved before the 1920 election, how does that effect the election?
Even with the chance to strangle the pestilence in its cradle.
