Today's History Question:  Counter-factuals as History.  If you could, which fact, choice or detail would you change in an historical event?   A classic example would be the 18 inches between Adolf Hitler's heart and the bullet that killed the Nazi next to him during the shootout that ended the Munich Putsch in 1923.  So what would you change?
