- What if President Theodore Roosevelt had managed to successfully win a third term, either immediately following his prior consecutive terms in the election of 1908, or in the 1912 election, gaining the Republican nomination instead of Taft, and never splitting the vote between party conservatives and progressives.

Ah yes Teddy Roosevelt the man i aspire to be
I see him as a role model for any politician who has some integrity, honesty, and selflessness
yeah say that to the Germans of that Timeline you want to exist
I mean I love TR but he was not selfless, one of his biggest flaws was that he was a *massive* attention whore. His daughter joked that he had to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral during his funeral, implying that he died just to get the attention.
@@pubcle True, but that’s a flaw that enabled him to do great things! If we examine his statesmanship, that’s where his selfless beliefs shine.
@@pubcle
Pride has its downfalls, sure, but it’s capable of making men achieve impressive things... That being good or bad
I agree. The problem is we don't have any politicians who match those descriptions today outside of a hand select few who are demonized routinely.
I think this scenario isn't all that accurate.
Teddy was a big supporter of nationalism itself, not just American Nationalism. He promotes America, but would recognise the value of Germany to Germans.
Removing the Kaiser? Dismantling Germany? Won't happen.
Because not only would he recognise those, but he himself was also fond of the German people, being keenly aware of the German American population when it came to WW1 politics and was even educated in Germany and had met the Kaiser on friendly terms.
He most definitely would have joined the Entente, but allowing the German people to suffer so much? Very debatable.
That's a well thought out explanation, and certainly a possible outcome. Still, let's see if anyone can counter these points.
Well Teddy wanted to show what the USA was capable of more than anything and i think that he would be more hands off in the peace treaty.
I agree, at least, that Roosevelt would have moderated the punishments exacted on Germany, though something certainly would have to be done as consequence for Germany's actions against America and her allies. Splitting a country into pieces would not have been a likely outcome, but a reformation and restructuring of the German government would have been possible.
@John Broadwell I have an impression that Teddy hated Russia.
Proof the system has always been rigged from the start
he would've fought in ww1 IF he was president. He literally asked to do this exact thing irl, so he would've done this.
I think if he was president, he would realize his responsibility to stay out of combat. It's different when you are a civilian and there's nothing else you can do. As president, he can set policy and do far more than get shot at.
Shorewall There is a chance he would stay in a more formal position. That would give him a lot of approval. So he’d probably stay with the generals in Europe and set policies from camp.
@@coolthief8375 Exactly, that's reasonable.
@@shorewall This is Teddy we are talking about. Dude quite secretary of the Navy to kick the Spaniards out of Cuba
Shorewall so your saying he’ll be a little b not teddy that I know of
The Germans in the Rhineland would likely be pissed, so I doubt France would be able to hold onto it without the Germanic people constantly rioting. Not sure if this would lead to an independent Rhineland, the Rhine joining with Prussia and re-forming the North German confederation, or simply make the Rhine, while a valuable land, an extremely costly land to keep hold on for the French.
There were some movements for a Rhineland Republic, which might emerge later down the line (once France has gotten good use out of the region, and holding it becomes too troublesome), but for the time, France, with it's freer supply of manpower, would hold it if only to exploit it's resources.
@@MonsieurDean maybe that can have to same effect as it had with the Ruhr occupation after the war, with it causing tention between france and Britan and the formation of rigth winged parties in the area, i also don't know how German nationalisim would affect the post war state in this World. Depending on who would take over after Roosevelt different outcomes would happen, if the next President takes after Roosevelt, France would maybe able to hold onto it even with perssure from Britian, if he is not, France may face not only the Pressure from Britain but also German nationalists, probly simmilar to thoose of the of the Napoleonic wars in the Confederation of the Rhine. This may lead to more autonomy of the Region or even total independence.
World War II was France and the UK's fault for insisting on punishing a defeated people further.

If a mistake was avoided it would have been repeated possibly in an even worse manner. Some “good” scenarios turn out to do more harm than good.

He deserved a 3rd term.

What if Russia joined Central Powers? (There are several ways tho, from Bismarck siding with Russia instead of Austria in the Congress in Berlin to Russia feelings betrayed by France after the Russo-Japanese War)
Great proposition.
Although Russia was a backwater at the time, with German economic and military pacts they *might* be better off by the time WW1 hits, and the fact that the leaders of both nations are cousins would lead to better relations.
However, this would likely lead to a two front war with Japan+freinds on the other side of the world that would cause problems, as well as this new Central Powers having a lack of real allies to call in. The lack of a Communist revolution by not sending Lenin back would work in favor of the Russians, but the incompetence of their leadership would prove to be a struggle. Central Powers could exploit the ethnic tensions in Austria to knock them out quickly by supporting another Hungarian uprising, but France and freinds would be hard to take out if the pull in Britain and by extension Japan into their war. Then again, this would lead to a stronger Alliance with Italy, and Germany would back at least some of their claims on Austria, so Italy might be a member of the Central Powers. This could have the ramification of sending the Ottomans towards France, shifting the scales harshly.
Kaiser Wilhelm II actually sent Tsar Nicolas of Russia a letter after russia lost the Russo-Japanese war and proposed a military alliance. Tsar Nicolas actually said he totally agreed with it, and how King George of Britain was a sly man seeking to sow dissent among the european powers, but was later talked out of it by his francophile advisors because russia had a long running alliance with russia, so 1905 could also be a point of divergence
@Jack 793 Chips He means France. But Russia's great Law is that they should've never have an alliance with a Republic, but through any tension Nicky didn't care about that law
Alt Roosevelt: What if Roosevelt became a scientist?

@François Miville What do you mean MLK was "abusive and fraudulent "
@@DalekOfChaos666 cheated on his wife and plagiarized in college both things you can't do as a minister
@@adamhauskins6407cheating is not abusive. MLK was by no means perfect but he was not an abuser. He was arguably a philandrapher however. as far as plagiarizing in college? that is not fraud. that is plagiarization and it does not rise to the level of a crime unless there are intellectual property violations involved. your college will punish you for your academic dishonesty but that is all. also, the definition of plagiarization is different depending on the collage. for example, my school would say that if I quote myself without attribution that I have committed plagiarism.
The church and the clergy are full of sinners who unsurprisingly sin. this does not detract from their service to the Lord nor does it detract from MLK's significance in our history.
1. Nixon wins the Vietnam War
2. Malcom X becomes Loius Farrakhan, fringe ranter about how black Americans should've aided North Vietnam and taken over the USA.
3. MLK has less streets named after him. Convinces greater resistance to draft, ends US involvement in Vietnam War
4. KING COTTON replaced by King Soy? Eventually this leads to Vietnam War
5. Stalin wins Vietnam war
6. McCain loses Vietnam War decades after it seemingly ended, hands country over to them because was a Ho-Chi-Manchurian Candidate.

A Republican who stood up to big business? That almost sounds like an alternate reality on its own.
He had progressive policies, running under the Republican party was a no brainer. Also if recall it was also a Republican that ended slavery as well. All democrats have done is just enact Jim Crow laws, instill welfare programs and enable anti-American resentment in modern day America.
American Conservatism is supposed to be the act of conserving American values and liberties, even if it means going against Big Business. Something the modern day Republican party should take to heart.
Fun Fact: Out of the 10 top billionaire who donate in politics, 7 donated to Democrats. Only 3 of the 10 are Republicans. The Democrat Party of 2020 is the party of the Big Billionaires.
No, not really. Kinda stupid to say that since this happened over a 100 years ago and parties tend to change over a short period. The Republican party even changed and split while teddy was still around my dude.
@@bryanitza-chulopez1658 Dixiecrats of the past and modern day Democrats aren't exactly comparable. As proof, just compare the 1952 and 1964 maps: it was the Dixiecrat states that went to the Republicans, with the very hope of upholding Jim Crow.

What if Britain stayed Roman after the fall of western rome.
Very interesting concept.
@Vladimir Kozlovsky Alternate history has nothing to do with likeliness, were asking what if not why not.
Kevin Hixson, I was going to comment that.
Vladimir Kozlovsky more likely than you’d think, capable and charismatic Romano- British commander unites the people against invading Saxons and it’s definitely possible. So basically the concept is ‘what is King Arthur was real’ hahaha
@@MonsieurDean I mean, it's basically down to, "what if one of three roman commanders of the region who tried to do that exact thing wasn't assassinated and could maintain power" so, yeah... It would be interesting. I'd rather assume that it would result in at the very least, the whole of the british isles to be consolidated into this new, independent British-rome over time. The question as to if it would be a wholehearted christian state or a more tolerant one than in hopes of easing political ties within the isles comes into question, but the fact that there would likely be no decline in literacy rates and the maintaining of infrastructure, combined with the lack of external threats to the british isles for some 500 years after this point, would provide a long basis to give it the opportunity to be a serious threat - and being in such a state of being an island with a distinct lack of luxury products (but an abundance of period-industrial resources) would reinforce the liklihood of it becoming a maritime power, I would imagine.
Recently finished Morris's massive 3,500 page three-volume biography of Teddy. What an incredible and impressive man he was. The sheer amount of diverse and interesting things he did over his life is astounding. Easily the most consistently entertaining life of any U.S. president.
I just realized that Jack Ryan, the character from many Tom Clancy novels, has similarities to Teddy Roosevelt in terms of how he became president and how he acts

@@MonsieurDean FUCK YES! FINALLY!
The British and French thought of joining the south, the Russians and the Prussians might side with the north on account the Prussians don't like the French and the French don't like the Prussian, plus the Prussians would want too use the civil war as opportunity for their military too become stronger and get revenge on France for the French bocce during the Napoleonic wars. The Russia's fear the British will capture Alaska and use it as a control the Pacific north seas, and cause French and British sided with the Ottoman empire when the Russians tried too take over the Baltic regions when they tried too unite the Slavic people's. Plus the Russians don't like the French as only 30 years before the civil the French tried too invade Russia. In a sense both Russia and Prussia would see the civil war and the British and French siding with the confederate States as an opportunity for revenge and too strengthen themselves by aiding the Union.
I don’t see now it could be done, but we’ll see what Mr. Z can come up with 🤔. Your talking about more then 25 years more fighting. I think after years of fighting both sides would come to terms. The original idea for the South was to hold out as long as possible until the North got tired of the fighting and killing just to hold on to states in the South 🤨. Let’s see what Mr. Z has to say 🙂✌️.
Ted Roosevelt the president we need now. A defender of the people , & fierce advocate for the greatness of our beloved nation
Theodore Roosevelt was just a complete badass nothing more and nothing less
There is another thing to consider about Roosevelt in 1908. Elihu Root. The man did push for modernizing the US Army using the Prussian General Staff as a source of inspiration
Wow, Roosevelt was way ahead of his time when talking about Harvard. I'm glad you made a video involving one of our bests presidents.

Im pretty sure that a more involved roosevelt would have actually prevented ww1 from spiraling out of control. With an aggressive USA, germany would not have invaded belgium, thus leaving out both GB and the USA out of the now regional conflict between germany+austro-hungary and france+russia. Here, germany would easily assert naval dominance over france, creating a pressure situation on france to focus a lot more on naval production to prevent a total blockade, leading to a far less able offensive on the german-french front. Seeing that the french border is much easier to defend, Germany would focus on eastern europe, defeating the russians even faster in 1916 due to its backwards army and state organisation. This in turn would be accompanied by a nationalist support against russia in much of eastern europe, which germany would foster.
With a treaty similar to Brest-Litovsk, Russia would ceed much of eastern europe to german puppet states, creating the kingdoms of finland, estonia, latvia, lithuania - while these 3 might form a baltic confederation instead - ukraine and a polish state lacking access to the baltic sea. Afterwards, the alliance of GB and USA would force a sort of white peace in the west, GB trying to keep France as a force against german control of the continent. However, the war showed for the second time that France does not have the military and industrial capacity to truely threaten Germany by itself.
The war would be pinned as russias fault with its intervention on the balkans. France would lose a few colonies as token reparations to germany, but its european mainland would stay the same. Why would this happen? The war in the west would have shown that future wars between industrialized countries would be extremely costly and with very high casualities with the trench warfare like in our timeline. Both the Entente and the Axis Powers would seek a lasting peace in western europe - a practical white peace would prevent unnecessary revanchism and the looming threat of american intervention in future conflicts would be key. In the future, China is the worlds battlefield, the last piece of earth to be divided among the great powers.
Russia would face a revolution like it did in our time, however, GB being uninvolved in the war would enable them to truely support the White Army in the russian civil war. This would lead to this fraction winning the war, creating an alliance between GB and the now democratic russian confederation. This russia, with british support would rapidly industrialize in the post war time, creating a second democratic superpower next to the USA. Being democratic would however lead to a much less imperialist involvement in european affairs, the pan-slavism of the old russian empire painted as the pipe dream that lead to the humiliating defeat in the war.
Holy shit, dude i'm impressed
The French military mobility doctrines were ahead in time and superior to the German ones : “The Entente victory of 1918 was the triumph of French trucks over the German railway”. If the Germans never strike France industries at the beginning of the war, a victory seems unlikely to happen in the years to come: France would more easily keep up on the industrial part, keeping its naval advantage. With a limited front, France inferior manpower wouldn't be too detrimental either.
France would have the economic support of Britain and America, while Germany wouldn't (on top of being restricted in the seas). France would therefore be able to hold on for a very long time. The war may wage for even longer than what happened in history, only to end with the first country failing to hold the social masses. The German Revolution of 1918-1919 might be the crushing blow for Germany.
@@JVPierre142 pretty sure both countries would fall into socialist revolution
@@mausbmeme1077 The nature of contestation would be different and require different triggers in each countries.
In the France, the government addressed the issue from the start with the concept of "Sacred Union", in the spirits of the Revolution historic "national defense" a political truce was concluded in which the left-wing agreed not to oppose the government or call any strikes during the war. The socialists (SFIO: French Section of the Workers' International) and even the CGT (General Confederation of Labour) agreed to it and stayed consistent throughout the war (to the dismay of anarchists and what have become a minority of socialists).
Germany on the other hand was under an authoritarian Kaiserreich. Its marginalised socialists were more incline to anti-war actions, as we have seen it happen in our timeline.

It is a hurculean effort to find a man of such integrity and moral charecter it is even harder to find a man willing to take power.
The Grest Trial awaits
Yeah sure, France annexing a territory with approximately 12 Million Germans living there at the time totally isn't a recipe for disaster, especially considering what happened when the French showed up in the Ruhr area in our timeline. Also, Roosevelt launching a war of aggression against a nation that has done nothing to threaten the US besides existing and wasting hundreds of thousands of American lives in the process really sounds like a popular idea in a country that always prided herself on keeping herself uninvolved in European affairs. Also, why would the German high command follow through with the Schlieffen-Plan anyway, if they knew that an American military intervention was to be expected, if they attacked Belgium.
That was the Real reason why French went to war with Germany; They didn't want A Strong and prosperity Germany, they wanted A weak one to control and manipulate.

As a side note, a video suggestion:
What if Frederick III had lived?
As it stands in our timeline, Frederick III had succumbed to cancer after failed treatments. He was groomed by Bismarck to be the strong leader that the new German Empire needed, and I would think that Germany under him would have not lead to the Great War, or at least not to the scale that we saw, and a more prosperous German nation with a more competent, level headed leader.
What if the Ottoman Empire joined the Entenete and not the Central Powers.
Was unlikely but most likely would've been screwed over very similar very similar to Italy
Perhaps on account of a restored Franco-Ottoman alliance? It's interesting to think about, but I wonder how significant the outcome might be. I'll need to look into Middle Eastern history of the time, and if I find a solid route, we'll make something out of it.

@@MonsieurDean you should research the Young Turks movement in The Ottoman Empire at the time they were a pro British and favored the Entente to the Central Powers.
Yeah it would mean a lot for Russia as it could be supplied through Bosphorus and wouldn't need to keep as many troops on Caucasus
Also it would iscourage Bulgaria from joining the war thus creating possibility for Serbia resisting until the end of the war.
War would end a lot quicker.
Finland had some strong nationalism at the time so I'd believe that Russia would release Finland as independent for stability. It might take longer wirhout Lenin but It would happen befire the 1930s.

He stands tall like a colossus over his lesser 'peers', we'll never see his like again.

I am very disappointed in my failure to win my second non consecutive term. And I thank you for all your nice things to say about me.
One like shows that you would have voted for me

I did sir, im of Mexican decent. I ask that i be given a chance to show that we of other races show you our bravery in battle. To one day be seen eye to eye
What if anime never existed or never got popular?
Japan, no longer distracted by petty things, decides to conquer Asia again.
Then the world would be better
@@MonsieurDean That sounds like a nice plot for an anim- wait nevermind
@@MonsieurDean My country is doomed. For better or for worse, we'd be the easiest and the most logical (geographically) to occupy.
Noooooo
Funnily enough I watched a video about the attempted assignation of Roosevelt earlier today and I possed the question as to what would happen if he had won the 1912 election with regards to WW1.
Interestingly if WW1 had ended in 1916 then all the problems of 1917, the French Army mutinying , the uprisings in Russia, fighting by the Italians grinding to a halt and the Austro-Hungarian Empire heading for collapse, would never have happened. One of the outcomes may well have been that there was no communist take over in Russia and the effects and problems that caused for most of the 20th century.
thanks for your insights
If only! A US without a Federal Reserve and Federal income tax is what we would have gotten.

As Teddy stormed German trenches with his men, words such as "Don't fuck with this president!" and "Pure food and drugs son!" was often heard.
We would of invaded Mexico if TR was re-elected in 1912.
We should've invaded them during the Mexican war.
What if Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points were used at Versailles after ww1?
would like to see a "What if the United States never had a presidency?". As in, what if the congress had all the power, without a single figure of leadership?
Like articles of confederation?
My attempt 4 to push my scenarios:
What if Soviets received way less casualties in WW2 (WW2 goes close to historical one)?
What if Japan was neutral/joined CP in WW1?
Man I'm so glad I share a name with this absolute *CHAD*
Theodore Roosevelt is just that kind of man that is so much manlier than the manliest it's like he is a jojo character.
I’m not sure if Germany would be completely dissolved since Roosevelt wouldn’t be as involved in the treaty. Perhaps a friendly constitutional monarchy would be installed.
Alternate Title: What if I could tell you Utopia could have existed?
Roosevelt is a hero
Excellent what if. I've always felt that his splitting the Republican ticket was his greatest mistake and like you said it was done out of anger. Sounds alot like what Ross Pero did to George Bush Sr.
Perots voters were likely to vote for Clinton as they were to Bush. Stop following this old myth.
@@MrPolandball Yup, wouldn't have changed the election outcome. But republicans love to say it.
Everyone gangsta until the American president makes Europe more stable than European leaders. Honestly this video is an anti-depressant to me
An alternative history I've wanted to flesh out ever since therapy for PTSD, second to my stint in USN.
What if the Pearl Harbour attack had been 100% successful, dstroying both the US carrier fleet and the repair yards entirely?
I believe I researched this before, and found that in a best case scenario for Japan, they would have still failed to cripple the US navy, and only extended the length of the war in the Pacific.
Evironmentalism isn’t Leftism, too many people forget this
One aspect you failed to mention: Roosevelt in lieu of Wilson, means that Segregation never reaches the Federal Level, instead staying in the Democrat-Dense regions of the nation, which in theory can mean that the Civil Rights movement may have a somewhat easier time getting that taken down, when it hasn't had 40-50 years to become normalized.
"The Rough Riders"
Saskatchewanians: YEA BOziiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
This is the best time of the week.
Potential Alt history I heard in this alt history:
-What if Theodore Roosevelt fell to his illnesses
-What if Theodore Roosevelt dedicated himself to science.
Those are both essentially the exact same scenerio/outcome.
What if teddy never became president?
Well his presence in history will still have effects on the world like possibly helping develop environmentally friendly technology so companies will be less against preservation efforts. Also him running for president can still have effects different from never running. If his opponent barley wins a large chunk of voters will be more aligned with Teddy’s ideas leading to more divide than if no major opponents appeared.
We need politicians like Teddy now!
What if Zanzibar won the Anglo-Zanzibar War
U everywhere
No chamce
or what if Germany didn’t sign that treaty giving Zanzibar to the United Kingdom
TR one of the most badass presidents
This is exactly the kind of content I need
The story of the Rough riders being militarily effective is most likely a myth. For example they are known to be taking a well fortified hill in the war with Cuba, however it's not known to many that that hill was accualy was some other hill 2 kilometers away with a garrison of about 50 men, so no wonder they stormed it with ease.
What if argentina managed to get back economically in the 30s and continued to be the immigrant magnet that was until the start if the century?
Teddy would've literally made America better
S.M. Stirling's *_Black Chamber_* novels are perhaps a trifle excessive in their Utopianism, but they're good clean fun of the sort my parents affectionately called "shoot-'em-ups".
The idea of Roosevelt going to Europe to direct the war personally is shocking, given that the very idea of a sitting U.S. President leaving the country *_AT ALL_* was controversial even a generation later, but I wouldn't put it past the Colonel.
Short version of the video:
*Yes.*
Your videos make me hope that there are alternative universes out there where things went as they do here:
