Answer 4

Watergate - If Watergate had not happened, the American people as a whole would NOT have lost faith, trust, confidence, and allegiance in the office of the Presidency. Watergate changed forever how the Press and Public viewed the President. America is now forever distrusting and skeptical of the person who holds the office.

It was the beginning of the end of America's belief that it's elected leadership always put the needs of the people first.

This Presidential distrust then spread to both houses of Congress. American politicians are largely untrustworthy and short-sighted.

Answer 5

What if these people had not died young? How would they have possibly changed our world?

Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bobby Kennedy, John Lennon, etc. I could go on, but you get the idea...

Answer 6

1. If Reagan died when he was shot in the early 80's? 2. If the socialists/communism won the cold war? 3. If the US government/military never allowed the Internet to become public? 4. If USA fighter jets intercepted the 9/11/01 jets & were forced to blow them out of the sky (before striking the towers/Pentagon)?

Answer 7

What if Kennedy had not been killed? Possible outcomes might be civil rights issues, quicker demise of the Iron Curtain, quicker withdrawal from Viet Nam, all kinds of possibilities and surely a subject matter that covers a lot of territory

Answer 8

Wow Kennedy in no way tried to get us out of Vietnam. I am sure it just gets the goat of some of you that it was a Republican who did.

Now how about Clinton was actually kicked out after being impeached and because of that when our military had Osama in their crosshairs they killed him. that would mean no 9-11

Answer 9

What if the Russian coup of 1991 is successful in reinstating communist rule.
