Alright AH.com, your job is to help me come up with the most ASB possible timeline for the 20th Century. It'll work like this, I suggest events that happen in the TL, and you tell me why they're completely ASB given our current timeline. Let's start off with the first 5.
1914: Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is assassinated by a Serbian radical, thus precipitating World War I.
1917: Russian Revolution. Communists overthrow the Russian Czar
1933: Adolf Hitler comes to power in Germany
1945: Nuclear bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending the Second World War.
9/11/2001: Al Qaida crashes several airplanes into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000.
ooc: Basically, we're living in an Alternate History, and you have to tell me why OTL is now ASB.
