What If?

Q: Why did I do this?
A: I was bored and this sounded like a fun thing to do for a couple of hours.

Introduction

What if Hitler was accepeted into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts?  
What if the United States never gained independence from Great Britain?  
What if aliens actually visited Earth and helped in constructing the pyramids?  
What if Napoleon never rose to power in France?
What if the Soviet Union won the Cold War?
What if the United States never dropped atomic bombs on Japan?
What if the Roman Empire never fell?  

Wanna know answer these questions?
Well sadly, we'll never know. But now with the power of generative AI, we can explore some possibilities based on an alternate fact.
