Julius Caesar is probably one of the most recognisable figures in all of human history. A charismatic leader and excellent military commander, he consolidated his political power in Rome to the point where he made himself 'Dictator-for-Life'. Caesar's assassination was a pivotal moment, as it led to the collapse of the Republic and the birth of the Roman Empire. Today, the events of the Ides of March are infamous... but what if it never happened?

The Iranian Revolution of 1979 saw the Shah of Iran being toppled in a popular revolution. Led by Ayatollah Khomeini, this new Islamic Republic of Iran sought to impose its hard-line brand of Shia Islam over the country, and export it across the Middle East. Nearly forty-five years later, Iran has been grappling with mass demonstrations after the death of a young woman in police custody. It's clear this revolution had major ramifications... but what if it never happened?

The Abdication Crisis of 1936 was a major turning point in British history, for it was the first time a king had abdicated in over two hundred years. Edward VIII’s decision to pass the throne down to his younger brother ended up altering the trajectory of the monarchy forever. Today, many view Edward unfavourably for his actions... but what if it never happened?

"Remember, remember the 5th of November; gunpowder, treason and plot; I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."
As the old rhyme suggests, the Gunpowder Plot was a highly consequential event in British history. Today, we celebrate the Plotters' failure to blow up Parliament... but what if they had succeeded?

He held similar ideological beliefs to that of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, yet he chose to remain neutral during the Second World War. Franco went on to rule the country for nearly forty years... but what if he chose a different path for Spain?

When the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence from Britain and became the United States of America, it was the first European colonial territory to break from its mother country. By doing so it brought about the end of the first British Empire and was the catalyst leading to several other major global events, some being the most dramatic and explosive in world history. Today the USA is the most powerful nation to have ever existed... but what if it didn't?

When the Bolsheviks came to power in the October Revolution of 1917, it was the first time since 1789 that a European power had fallen to such a radical ideology. In doing so, they brought Russia down the path of totalitarianism and famine. Eventually, they would go on to lead a global struggle for ideological supremacy which dominated the second half of the twentieth century. To many, the creation of the Soviet Union seems a foregone conclusion... but what if these events had played out differently?

The Spring of 1940 saw chaos explode across Western Europe, with Hitler's armies invading France with terrifying speed. Britain was forced to evacuate hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the beaches or risk their entire army falling into enemy hands. It succeeded and is seen by many as a near-miraculous achievement. But what if this evacuation failed?

For a war often labelled the 'Forgotten War,' the conflict between North and South Korea could have changed our world in drastic ways. In 1953, the War ended in stalemate... but what would have happened had one side prevailed?
