Teddy Roosevelt never endorsed Taft to run in 1908. So more progressive candite won the nomination New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes won the nomination thanks to Roosevelt's endorsement despite his lack of experience defeated Philander C. Knox won the Republican Nominee in 1908 with the Senator of Iowa Jonathan Dolliver (Died in October of 1910) defeating Brian by a similar margin.
By 1912 his new running mate would be the Governor of Missouri Herbert S. Hadley (In 1912 Hadley was seen as a possible compromised candidate so now he is selected to be VP).
How different would his presidency be from Taft?
Would Roosevelt not created the Progressive Party in 1912, and splitting the vote between the Senate and Congress remained Republican in 1912 and 1914?
Would an incumbent Hughes defeat Wilson? (Likely Yes but by a landslide, by Landslide I mean between 395 to 405 EV and a popular vote similar to 1904)
How Would Evans Hughes have responded to WW1?
Would Germany be more aggressive against America with a president that diplomatically supported the Entente since the beginning of WW1, thus resulting in America joining the Entente early enough to prevent the Russian revolution or for the Sixtus Affair to succeed, and Keeping the Kaiser in power?
How different would the Versailles Treaty have been?
Could Austria-Hungary Survive? or at least be dissolved into something like Austria-Bohemia and Hungary-Croatia?
Would the end of WW1 be similar to the Videos of Whatifalthist, AlternateHistoryHub in which Teddy is president during WW1, or Josh Sullivan History in which Teddy is assassinated before the 1912 election?
With the Republicans be able to win the 1916 Election?
