This has the same idea as the "ridiculous conspiracy theories" thread but for alternate history.

How different would the world be if Nixon was elected President in 1960?

What would the world be like if 9/11 never happened?

What differences would the US government have if Hillary Clinton won the Electoral College in 2016?

How different would Facebook and social media be if the Winklevoss Twins proved that they were truly the creators of Facebook and not Mark Zuckerberg?

From "Family Guy" season 8, episode 1, "Road to The Multiverse":

Stewie: "My God, this place looks terrible!"

Brian: "Looks like Quahog was vaporized or something."

Stewie: [looking at the multiverse guide] "It says that in this universe, Frank Sinatra was never born, and therefore, he was unable to use his influence to get Kennedy elected. So Nixon won the 1960 election and totally botched the Cuban Missile Crisis causing World War III."

:D
