Starting a "What If ..." Thread. Hi everyone
How about a "What If - " thread?
This is where you imagine a world in which, for example, a certain person had never existed, or died before any influence upon the world could be achieved.
OR a specific event, had never happened.
EXAMPLE: - What if Adolf Hitler had been killed in the First World War?
Would Germany have become a Communist nation? There were certainly many battles between Reds and right wing parties in the towns and cities, in the Depression years of the 30's.

OK, not attracting much interest. I'll try another ...
What if Bill Gates had lost interest in creating Microsoft before it really got going?
Would Paul Allen have continued alone, or with another like-minded partner?
Would we have Microsoft as it is today, or would it never have existed?
