Wilson stays out of WW1 then we never see the Lenin, Stalin,  or hitler come to power.

This is beyond silly, but I am going to focus on the last sentence. You're suggesting that Wilson asking Congress to declare war on Germany, after Germany attacked numerous American merchant ships and asked Mexico to invade the US, is what caused Lenin to come into power.

Not instability caused by the February Revolution 2 months PRIOR to the US declaring war on Germany.

Not social inequality.

Not food shortages.

Not the fact that workers in key industries were sympathetic to the Bolsheviks 

Not a social class system that was stuck in the 1600's. 

Not the provisional government's attempts to put down peasant revolts


It was Woodrow Wilson going to war with Germany.
