I will openly say this is for a Darkest Hour Mod that I am in the midst of drafting, a counter to Kaiserreich as it were, though being more plausible. 
Now, the main POD would be Theodore Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson successfully being elected on the Republican ticket, having narrowly managed to take over the Republican National Convention. There is some talk of putting forth a Conservative ticket, but the grand majority simply endorse Champ Clark when he wins the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Roosevelt, as the title should specify, wins.
A secondary POD I had decided to place was that Roosevelt, having avoided the South American Expedition, quite literally lives ten years longer, the ten years he himself says the Amazon had claimed (this is just one of those butterflies that keeps going beyond reason; sorry).
Alright, now for the Main Questions:

Alright, now for the Main Questions:
- How would Roosevelt have handled the Mexican Revolution?
- I figured the United States would have a larger military, and Roosevelt would have deployed a much larger force to attempt to capture Pancho Villa; however a side-effect of this would be open conflict with Carrancistas, and soon by extension, the Carranza National Government. Mexico is a stable Democracy, but largely a satellite of the US by 1936, and Chihuahua, Sonora, and the Baja Peninsula have been annexed as territories with some minor partisan activity.
- When would Roosevelt have entered World War I?
- This one is tricky given I know that Roosevelt have been harping for war since January of 1915, but Congress wanted nothing to do with it. Hiram Johnson actually would later resign as Vice President sometime in 1916, with John Weeks replacing him in that election. For the time being, I have the capture of a German military mission in Mexico, along with various documents and weapons sometime in late 1916, as the tipping point.
- How would Roosevelt have handled the Treaty of Versailles (and Others)?
- This I have little to no clue on.
- At the present, I imagined the result being the Rhineland separated from Germany, Wilsonian Armenia (only due to Roosevelt accepting a clause, put forth by Lloyd George, that placed Aremnia under US protection for a period of 10 years), German Samoa granted to the United States, an Independent Kurdistan, Greece (Post-Sevres) and others.
- This I have little to no clue on.
