I don't think anything could have stopped the US entry into the war - Europe owed us so much money for weapons manufacturing that we had to go in and help the side that owed us more win. (Although they still defaulted on their loans and fun fact, still owe the us a lot of money. I feel like we should remind England in particular about that more.) And there's no stopping a pandemic when there's international travel; doesn't matter if soldiers got it first.

I will however agree on Woodrow Wilson being heavily responsible for WWII and Hitler's rise to power. The allies in Europe took trench warfare and mustard gas very personally and really wanted to punish Germany. Because the US had a say in the surrender treaty, Wilson was going to bring a much more impartial view to the table. All reports suggest he was strongly opposed to imposing extra punitive damages on Germany, and he could have intervened to let Germany recover and not fall so low as to see Hitler as a great option.

But what does Wilson do? He lets Europe buy him off by promising him his pet project: The League of Nations. So the world got the UN of all fucking barely relevant things and Germany got buried so low under restitution they decided they may as well finish the job.

Not only did Wilson let Europe buy him off by adopting the League of Nations, but he then crippled the League by refusing to make the compromises necessary to allow the US to join it. Terrible fucking president.
