I came up with this idea few months ago, but due to schoolwork and an added workload of having a job, I was never able to research the topics to the point where I felt comfortable writing a TL (which, IMO becomes guesswork a week after the POD). Anyways, the idea is that four people are "removed" from the Timeline around the 1920s. They aren't very influential, but within 20 years they would become household names. Here are the four people affected, and the PODs involved.

1. Adolf Hitler. Killed by a stray bullet during the Beer Hall Putsch.

2. Josef Stalin. Lenin stays healthy a few months longer, and makes sure that Stalin doesn't get the popularity to get into office. Stalin is quietly executed outside of Moscow and buried in the snow.

3. Franklin Roosevelt. He dies of his illness gained in Canada in 1921.

4. Albert Einstein. Shortly after receiving the Nobel Prize for his explanation of the photoelectric effect, he is killed in a chance accident.

Now, I ask you, denizens of AH.com, what do you think would happen to this world, both in the immediate aftermath of the PODs and extrapolating predictions possibly into the next decade or two?
