Explanation:

In the 1912 election, Theodore Roosevelt lost the election. Because of the split Roosevelt created after his loss by forming the third Progressive Party, or the "Bull Moose Party," Wilson took advantage of this situation and won the presidential elections during an era of Republican Party control.
