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 was 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.
