Some 20th Century PoDs

Mesdames & Messieurs, I have some PoDs for you to think about. After a brainstorming with a friend, we came up with 5 PoD ideas:

1. Franco and the Axis:
In an alternate timeline, Franco decides to join the Axis and thus, WW2, instead of remaining neutral like he did OTL.
(Note: Yes, it is suicide, for those who were wondering...)

2. No Pearl Harbor:
The Empire of Japan does not attack the US fleet at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th 1941.
(Note Two: My friend asked what could happen if the Japanese decided to attack the USSR at Sakhalin or at Vladivostok instead of the US; what do you think?)

3. Las Malvinas:
The Falkland War is won by Argentina, instead of the UK.

4. Nuclear Volcano:
After the Chernobyl disaster, the radioactive lava pierces through the concrete and enters in contact with the stagnant water below, creating steam explosion.
(Note Three: Truth is sometimes really scary...)

5. Bojinka:
No fire occurs in Ramzi Youssef's appartment in Manilla. In January 1995, the Bojinka plot is put into place, leading to the death of the Pope, the bombings of 12-ish airliners and the deliberate crash on the CIA HQ in Langley.
(Note Four: Our brainstorming left the possible hijackings of other aircrafts on other targets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bojinka_plot#Phase_III:_CIA_plane_crash_plot

(Final Note: Some of the PoDs (1 and 2) are really unlikely but it is always good to ask the What If question.)
