Woodrow Wilson

I like Wilson the campaigner, and probably would have voted for him in 1912.  In office, however, he was pretty disastrous--although in terms of domestic policy, his impact has been far superseded by other 20th Century presidents.

If we hadn't intervened when we did (in any form), the allies would have collapsed.  Unrestricted submarine warfare was actually beginning to work...the UK would have had to pull out in late 1917.  Even if they had stayed in, it's likely revolution would have forced them to bring troops home...and if not, without American supplies and troops, the German offensive would have been much more successful--probably wouldn't take Paris, though.

Remember, after 1914, World War I became a war of who would collapse first--in which Germany had a distinct advantage.  Eventually, someone's getting forced to the peace table--and without the Americans, it ain't gonna be Germany.

But whoever won would have nothing better than a pyrrhic victory, at the most.

What would have happened in the East would be the most interesting thing, in my opinion?  Germany would have to keep its allies (Turkey and Austria) propped up, while having to deal with the Reds.  Would they support the Whites?  Hard to say...but if the Communists continued talking about World Revolution, it's likely they would have picked the fractious Whites.  Whether they would have been successful or not....depends on morale back in Germany.
