 very possibly resulting in a world without The Who.
 
 Not that I'm taking sides :-)

Actually, you'remissing one.  The US would not have been involved in World
War 1 - the Germans would have won their 1918 offensive, the Allies sued for
peace.  Germany victorious would not have suffered under the tremendous
financial reparations the Western Allies laid on after WW1 which crushed the
German economy and people and directly was the single biggest cause to the
rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party.  No Hitler - no WW2 - at least in Europe.
