User blog comment:The Greek-American/Anglo-American War of 1895/@comment-3428312-20150501202759/@comment-3428312-20150502001032

The two PoDs that I know of:

1) William Hearst wins the 1906 Governor's race in New York, and later goes on to secure the nomination from the Democrats for 1912. Hearst was a major Anglophobe, and it's often forgotten how badly the British blockade of Germany was Pre-Lusistania. I don't think the US would join the Central Powers as an active combatant, but I could see the US really diplomatically pressing for at least a partial relaxment of the blockade and definitely no loans (Probably no war material sells either) to the Entente. Without that aid, the Central Powers will win by late 1917 at the latest.

2) 1896 Venezuela Crisis goes hot, with the British facing off with the US and Venezuela. The "war" will mainly consist of sea fighting and battles in South America, which means a UK victory. Following this, the US will rearm extensively and cultivate a relationship with the Central Powers in order to arrange for pratically insured revenge against the Brits later on down the line.
