Annie Oakley was a professional sharp shooter for Buffalo Bill's wild west show. It performed for the courts of Europe, including that of the newly crowned Kaiser Wilhelm II. She performed her trademark trick, shooting the ashes off the end of a cigarette. After she had done this, the Kaiser asked if she could do this on him. For safety measures, she had him hold the cigarette in his hand instead of in his mouth.
What if she had had him put the cigarette in her mouth? Then what if she missed the ashes of the cigarette and hit the Kaiser, killing him? Who would have succeded him? How might this influence the future World Wars?
