The Premise is that while on Safari in Africa, Roosevelt is killed while hunting one the big game animals (Rhino, Elephant, w/e, gun jams and he's trampled). His body is brought back to the US and buried in a state Funeral in New York. This all happens fairly late in the Safari and most of Roosevelt's book is written, all but a few of the OTL Animals are hunted. The animal that killed Roosevelt is killed and mounted at the New York Natural History Museum in Honor of him.

Taft and the Republican party get a big boost in the polls due to Roosevelt's death and his popularity, Taft wins reelection despite a large portion of his party not really supporting his polices.


so...how would the US involvement or lack thereof in WW1 go?
