This episode is on the unlikely third-party run of a former president, his chosen successor, and a college administrator turned leader of the country and how the leadership of the United States dealt with the explosion of carnage that was World War I in 1914.
This episode includes a rift between former political allies, the creation of a major but short-lived political party, and the Presidential election of 1912, which would allow for the united states to remain neutral regarding the First World War for several years, changing the trajectory for American foreign policy for decades to come.
