What if Hitler had died in 1938?


Just like in Doctor Who episode Let's Kill Hitler then.

What if Football never was invented until 1990.
What if Doctor Who never was a Sci-Fi tv show in the 60's.

A more interesting and less debated question would be, what if Churchill had died that in 1931 in the car accident? :D
Or perhaps
What if I hadn't made this post?

If Churchill had died in 1931, then maybe H.G.Wells might have seriously considered running the country.

what if Hitler had down syndrome? (bit of a twist)
What if the egyptians rebelled against Rome for their independence and used roman technology to become a superpower?
What if the Russians got to the moon at the same time the Americans did, and two nations were on the moon at the same time?
What if Russia had become a capitalist, free market with free elections during the 1800s?
What if women had always had equal rights?
What if greece fell to the persians and democracy died?
What if we found out that there was another technological civilisation which existed around 90,000 years ago?
What if the US accidently detonated a nuclear weapon above the US and destroyed all electronics in the nation during the cold war?

Then Jesus might have appeared in an entirely different story line. The Byzantine Empire would probably not have been very successful, or the Eastern Empire might have collapsed with the West. There would be a lot more wars with two superpowers. Rome wouldn't have expanded as much into Northern Europe, but Egypt might have expanded more into Africa.

If Persia conquered Greece, their Empire would've spread as far as Italy and maybe even to Tibet and Myanmar.
