I’d assume about 2 or 3 years is the conclusion of the war, and then the crawl towards recovery.
I’m assuming that anytime between 1901 and 1912 would be fine (as Roosevelt would be in office, McKinley was slightly more cautious). And I’m assuming America would take Cameroon and Togo, and maybe Papua Guinea.
