If the Communist Party had listened Lenin when he warned everyone against Stalin, and Trotsky had being chosen Secretary instead; the URSS would've worked and people would have actually opted for Communism.

ILU2

I'd have loved it if it had worked IRL. Alas, the best I can hope is that someone writes a good Alt-history novel about it.

If the Italian Fascists had made Italo Balbo their leader, instead of Mussolini, Italy probably would have stayed fascist for a significant period after the war. And it probably wouldn't have been all that bad for them.

THIS IS NOW A THREAD ON HISTORY SPECULATION

My favorite one is, "what would've happened if the Academy of Arts on Vienna had accepted young Adolf".

And I think "The Years of Rice and Salt" did a fine job on speculating what would've happened to the world if the whole European population had disappeared due to the Plague.

I'm not going to lie, I spend way too much time in my head trying to work out ways that World War I could have not happened.

Me too, but NGL, things were so fucked up between the powers that the assasination of Franz Ferdinand was only a detonator. It was going to happen. Fuck, the way that assasination was conducted can make a person believe there's such a thing as Fate (capital F). EVERYONE FAILED. EVEN GAVRILO PRINCIP FAILED. THE DUDE WENT FOR A SANDWICH... and suddenly he had an opportunity to shoot. With a failure of a gun. And he still managed to put a bullet on his target. /)_-

Oh, yeah, it's definitely much more "Frederick III comes to power 10 years earlier and doesn't get throat cancer! Cecil Rhodes dies at 20, like his doctors thought he would!" I think you really have to go back a ways to disentangle things.

Although it's also possible that they could have breezed by the Serbian crisis, as the European powers had breezed by crises before that; it could have been the case that we would, today, remember the assassination of Ferdinand the same way we remember the Agadir crisis now. Even if Ferdinand gets shot, what if Germany decides to play its hand less strongly? It's fascinating. Such a confluence of factors, to lead to such an awful conclusion.
