Suppose Pedro Paulet's successfully tested a liquid fuel rocket in 1885 and got a lot of publicity at the time. How does this affect rocket science and space travel?

Do we see a V1-like program during WWI? And after, does this mean a space program under Stalin, a Nazi program, and/or a New Deal space program in the US?

EDIT ADD: Yes, this is a PoD prior to 1900, but only by five years, and it's the really big butterflies start later in the 20th Century
