what if the chinese discovered america before the europeans did
what if alexander went on to conquer all of india and china

What if JFK was not assassinated?

then he probably wouldnt have been re elected

Yeah that true he was having dealing with the mafia so i guess that would have came out and someone else would have killed him.

"what if the Chinese discovered America before the Europeans did?"

An interesting question that which is kind of dealt with in the book 1421 by Gavin Menzies who examines a historical theory that the Chinese did in fact reach America 70 years before Columbus and did alot of other impressive things (which they then failed to capitalise on as they then entered their isolationist period). A fascinating read which raises some interesting questions. Its also filled with well supported evidence.

What if christianity didnt take off (would most western countries be pagan, jewish, athiest or muslim???)

What if The space race hadnt ended (would we have landed on other planets??)

I agre about Roman civilization, what if Atlantis existed, and we'd find it??

What if it DIDNT exist???

If some things in history didn't happen by the hands of the individual we attribute it to today, then it would still have happened by the hand of someone else - like if Edison did not invent the light bulb, someone else would've invented it.
