What If History Deviated?A single changed moment—a missed bullet, a delayed letter, a surviving heir—could cascade into unrecognizable worlds.
The Roman Empire might have endured into the modern age.
No World War II, no atomic bomb, no Cold War.
Or perhaps worse: a prolonged Dark Age, accelerated fascism, or a planet ruled by a different superpower. Every deviation rewrites not just events, but values, technology, language, even what we consider human.
We are the fragile product of countless razor-thin contingencies.
Change one, and the person asking this question might never have existed.https://whatif.xkcd.com
