If Theodore Roosevelt wins in 1912

How would a Theodore Roosevelt victory in the 1912 election change US entry into World War I?

The panel discusses whether different neutrality conditions under a hypothetical Roosevelt presidency could have changed the timing of US involvement.

A Roosevelt victory in 1912 is the premise of this counterfactual discussion. The panel describes both Roosevelt and Wilson as wanting to avoid war, then considers how each might have responded to a belligerent crossing stated neutrality conditions. Possible US entry follows from that hypothetical sequence, with Germany discussed as a potential source of the breach. The conversation broadens to the pressures belligerents face when observing wartime restraints as their position worsens. British support for resistance movements and the Altmark incident appear as the panel's examples in that wider discussion. These are interpretations and hypothetical outcomes offered during the exchange.
