Ok, so use&misuse of the term ASB aside, I'm pretty sure this thread is meant to be about (seemingly) very unlikely events that have occured in OTL anyway.
On that note:
- Obama (I can't believe I'm the first one to say this)
- The relatively peaceful fall of the Soviet Empire- there were signs, sure, but very very few have actually foreseen a total collapse of communism & the dissolution of the Soviet Union
- America losing the Vietnam War- who would've thought, really?
- Partition of India- this one's just a shot in the dark, I don't know much about the subject, but it was a pretty close call
- The State of Israel- it might have been inevitable long before ww2, but imagine politicians in mid-19th century seriously accounting for the possibility
