There’s a genre of fiction which is known as ‘alternative history’. Coupled with its close brother ‘counterfactual’ it imagines what would have happened in a real period of our history if it didn’t turn out the way that it did?
Alternative history will usually be based on the idea of a butterfly effect, that notion that a butterfly flapping it’s wings in one part of the world can have so many unforeseen knock on effects, each gradually more consequential, that it will eventually cause a hurricane on the other side of the globe.
