Can you give me a link to the 1st part of the series, Wilson IMHO opinion( he was definitely the most racist prez ever) was almost satanic. He brought socialism to America and chaos to world politics contributing to the rise of communism, hitler, and radical Islam. Worst president ever.

If we had sided with the Kaiser( and the Krauts were not the bad guys in WWI by any measure) or merely stayed out and allowed a Prussian victory none of the above would be a problem( and France would be eliminated as an independent country too).

I doubt that France would have been treated as shabbily by the Germans as Germany and Austria-Hungary were treated by the Allies. The Central Powers were still fighting according to nineteenth centuty rules. The Allies were engaged in total war, even anticipating (and enabling) ethnic cleansing when they caused Austria-Hungary to be broken up by ethnicity.

But what about the Laconia and Lusitania? Was Wilson to stand by idly while the Germans torpedoed US shipping?

Worst president ever.

I agree completely. As a monarchist, I'll never forgive Wilson for destroying the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires. The removal of the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs surely paved the way for the rise of Hitler as you suggest.

France would be eliminated as an independent country

It's the French Republic that needs to be eliminated. As long as there are those who hope and pray for a restoration of the monarchy, the true spirit of France will never die.
