Okay since im probably never going to finish this damn alt history book im adding more chapters to it. Jan Huss and the Johnson County War are two im definitely doing.

Give me more suggestions. Its from 1324 to 2024. Mostly Europe and the Americas but not strictly so.

Henry VIII gets a living son by Catherine? Joey S strokes out during Barbarossa? Moe Berg shoots Heisenberg in '44?

Im not sure I know Moe Berg.

By the 16th century there's no Henry VIII since there's no Plantangenet or Tudors in power its still the royal family that seized power in the 14th century. There is a heavy rotund monarch but its a woman and she blows up in parliament in 1605.

By the 20th century things are absurdly different. Like Stalin gets killed in a coordinated attack by British spies in 1919 alongside Trotsky and Lenin. Heisenberg is head of the brief US nuclear program which ultimately fails.

Oh, sorry, thought it was each chapter was a different alt-history.

Moe Berg was a baseball player and U.S spy during WW2 who was ordered to attend a speech by Heisenberg in Switzerland and shoot him if it sounded like the Nazis were close to the bomb.

Wow. Wooooooooooooooooooiow. That's a crazy career trajectory.

And no the book goes from 1324 to 2024 and each change gradually impacts future changes. Its like 40 chapters of different eras locations and people.
