Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
Most historic events seemed to have played out the same way with out without some historical figures involved, but what if the Spanish Armada did better in 1588 than it did, would there be a Spanish Empire instead of a British one?

Or what if the Mongol fleet had not been destroyed in its attempt to invade Japan in the 13th century? Would Japanese (language) be closer to Chinese today?

What if the Moon landing, marking a decisive victory in the space race, would have failed? Would the world powers had (tense?) double their efforts to land on the moon, or abandon the idea?

What if more of the actual teachings of Jesus had been preserved? Would we be closer to Buddhist spirituality today?

What if Socialism/ Communism had turned out to be a less efficient (in terms of productivity) but more humane societal and economic model?

What if America had spent the years after world war two stockpiling nuclear weapons to eradicate the soviet union in one fell swoop?

And then forbidden all other countries to research nuclear weapons on pain of eradication.

They tried something like that.
