In OTL the Porter's Chief Torpedoman, who had failed to remove the primer, was sentenced to 14 years hard labor, and FDR intervened on his behalf. If FDR was killed, along with presumably Iowa crewmen and the ship taking heavy damage and possibly sinking, there's no way that he and anyone else...
The lightest treaty you can get is essentially a return to the status quo, with the exception that German colonies overseas go to the Entente. But in real life that wouldn't have happened unless the war ended in a stalemate, with neither side clearly winning or losing. Perhaps going easy on war...
So tell me, how would the US deal with massive negative public reaction? More importantly, what would happen as public Internet spread across the world?
And how would this be enforced when the US already had public Internet? You're also forgetting that most other countries would continue to allow public Internet access. If you somehow got this dystopia, it would really set the US back on the world stage.
The OP should have made this clear, but by A4, he's referring to the Atomic Four from CalBear's AANW timeline. This is essentially a what if question for that timeline.

Although he didn't fight in World War II, I did once read about a man who fought as a guerrilla in the US Civil War at age 12, and was working in an aircraft factory during World War II.
Suppose this had led to an all-out war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_French%E2%80%93Ivorian_clashes
Let's say that in response to the French destruction of the Ivorian Air Force, and the resulting clashes between Ivorian citizens and the French military, during which French troops clash...
Fun fact, when I saw the title, for a second I thought this was asking those of us who weren't around back then if we could have possibly stood living in that distant time when computers with less processing power than a modern smartphone were considered state of the art.
HH Holmes was so prolific his victim toll is thought to possibly reach up to 200, plus it was the elaborate way he did it, IE going to the trouble of setting up an entire frigging hotel to carry out his scheme. He might not have faded completely into obscurity, but his fame would be nowhere near...
