Not really, it was the US Congress who voted against the USA joining the League of Nations and the "compromise" that was the Treaty of Versailles that did it.

If the US hadn't joined, the Allies wouldn't have had the clout to force that treaty down the Germans' throat, and the League of Nations was pointless to start with.

No they wouldn't have been able to force that stupid treaty but Wilson soften the conditions up as the French wanted to castrate the Germans where as the British were like "We Iz fine with the Germans still having an Industrial base in the Rhine."

Which one of you two is Mike Huckabee? Because he's the one supposed to be talking about history here, according to the topic.

[up][up] If the US hadn't joined, Wilson wouldn't have had a say. Really, the best Alternate History I can think of for Real Life is that somebody has to go back in time, have the Senate vote down Wilson's request for war (make Zimmerman not stupid and have him claim the telegram was false), then have Wilson die of his stroke. World War Two rolls around (Soviets v. Western Europe), if the Japanese attack the US we kill them, if not we ignore the whole thing, and then there would very likely be no Cold War or Holocaust. Hell, there might not even be a Great Depression.

But noooo, we had to interfere in the Great War. Stupid.


I still have to watch the animation in the OP, actually. I just realized that...

Whose Mike Huckabee though? Is he somekind of Right Wing American?. I say this because the only people who claim to be "fair and balanced" in the USA are those who are Right Wing (Although, if we want to get technical, there really isn't a left wing in America)

Yes. Huckabee is a Fox News contributor who ran for the Republican nomination in 2008 and almost won.

[up][up] Left Wing by our standards. Why should we use your standards? tongue

I must say, though, that is incredibly shitty writing. The animation is standard school animation fare, if my experience is anything to judge by, but damn, that is some bad, bad narration and writing. It also oozes faux patriotism...

[up] Because more than 50.1% of the world use our definition of Right/Left wing tongue.

[up][up]But why and how did Huckabee lose to the Chip Man?

[up] Unless those 50.1% people live in the US, I don't care.

Bleh... incumbent always wins the nomination...

Oh, '08. I misread it as '04, then.

The rest of the world isn't relevant to the American Political System.
