Reign of Roosevelt

In 1912, Woodrow Wilson the Democrat, Theodore Roosevelt the Progressive, William Howard Taft the Republican, and Eugene V. Debs the Socialist all ran for President. Wilson won. What if the Democratic Party split before the 1912 and others ran from numerous parties? That would leave Roosevelt and Debs to be front runners

America would be under the Reign of Roosevelt.

=NOTES=

NOTE: I will agree to the fact that some points in TTL are unlikely, such as the Mexican Civil War.

ANOTHER NOTE: Roosevelt's Presidency led to the US joining World War I early. My justification for this is that Roosevelt said in 1916 that the fact that the US not joining the War was really letting Germany and Austria-Hungary "bully" the weaker nations there.

Another thing is, because there were no Bolsheviks, the lives of thousands of Russians indirectly changed as a side effect, which eventually led to another very indirect side effect of Roosevelt being President in 1912.

May 1946 - December 1946

 * The Allies begin to close in on Germany, swiftly capturing Hamburg, Frankfurt and Hanover (US, UK) as well as Dresden, Munich and Schwerin (Soviets), maneuvering around Berlin to launch a united incursion into Berlin. Franco-Spanish forces capture the Italian government in Florence. In the Pacific, China is freed as well European Pacific territories. Indochina is handed back to the French. US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dies in South Dakota, succeeded by Vice President W. Averell Harriman. Stalin does not allow Russian aid in Japan until Berlin is captured, so the western Allies allow a quicker defeat in Berlin. The heads of the German government are nowhere to be found, so military leaders of Germany surrender on all fronts. The Soviets finally relent and invade Northern Japan, while the other allies invade from the south. Japan finally surrenders with the nuclear destruction of Sendai and Sakai. November 25th marks the global end of the war.

Aftermath of World War II

 * The strange way that territories were recaptured by the Allies and/or captured by the Axis. Stalin is a massive obstacle in the road to peace, formerly for Churchill and Roosevelt, but now for W. Averell Harriman and Clement Davies. Davies is soon replaced by Churchill once more, and he presents a stronger front against Stalin. Eventually Stalin accepts to some of Harriman's proposals, but less of Churchill's. Several new states are created in the Balkans, against Stalin's original plans. Japan was divided into four occupation zones. Each zone was occupied by China (south), Britain (southwest), the United States (southeast), and the Soviet Union (north). Korea is given independence as a free state. Germany is divided into six nations: Brandenburg, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Rhineland, and Hanover. Austria is occupied in three occupation zones, akin to Japan, led by the Soviets, the Americans and the British. Italy is created into a free republic. However, Churchill gains his wishes in the Pacific. Each colonial possession of the French or the Dutch will hold referenda over independence. However, Harriman holds his ground over Africa and demands that the process of giving independence to colonies must begin. With Stalin avidly supporting Harriman, Churchill concedes. America is given free reign in the Western Hemisphere, and as such, gives independence to occupied territories south of Mexico.
