We've all heard of the famous 'butterfly effect.' But is there a plausible, realistic, alternative historical scenario in which the US & the world could've been spared the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson's presidency merely by altering one seemingly minor detail of the 1912 election? Yes there is. Join CJ in this super-concise DHP episode as he discusses just such a scenario, whereby changing only one seemingly humble variable in 1912 would probably have given the US a POTUS who would've kept the country out of WWI & thereby avoided the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson.
