Saudi Arabia has, debatably, played a very large role in shaping the history of the Middle East and, in part, the world. The creation of the modern state was largely contingent on the success of Ibn Saud, who became the first monarch of Saudi Arabia in 1927 with the help of the British.

Would the Arabian Peninsula be unified by someone else, or would it remain a land of warring factions? What would change in the Middle East, with the Hashemites potentially remaining in control of Mecca to Wahhabism not gaining a foothold? Who and what would get butterflied away, and would that include everyone's favorite terrorist?
