United States Presidential Election, 1940

The 1940 United States Presidential Election is regarded as one of the most pivotal elections in the nation's history. The Republican candidate, Montana native Burton K. Wheeler, soundly defeated the NDP candidate, Vice President Alf Landon. This marked a drastic turn from the incumbent Democratic president, Warren Harding, and his anti-CS policy, despite the fact that Harding had won the Third Civil War in 1936.
