There's at least one book claiming that most of history is due to dumb luck and random chance. I don't buy that theory, but I'd like to read the book.

By far the best example is the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

also the fact that the Seven Years War was started by George Washington being an impetuous asshole and attacking a French fort for shits and giggles. Which led to all of the taxes that the Revolution was fought against

Can't find anything that would EXACTLY fit op's criteria but I have something.
>January Uprising in Russian-occupied Poland (1863) prevented Prussian-Russian conflicts made the two countries closer for strategic reasons and paved the way to German unification
>Following the assassination of tsar Alexander II, his successor Alexander III started anti-semitic pogroms. Lots of Jews escaped to cities like London in years 1881-83. One of them (probably) became Jack the Ripper. This one is debatable for obvious reasons but the best suspect was such an immigrant just like some other strong candidates
>In the late 19th century the Royal Geographic Society had a debate about the admission of women as members and to the reconcile the two factions Clements Markham became a member who, to unite everyone behind a common goal, started a great project that resulted in several British expeditions to the Antarctic. A big deal for someone who loves these awesome stories.
Just on the top of my head. Nothing special but I think that posting stories like "X didn't die in his childhood when a horse kicked him and later a bunch of people died" is cheating.
Mason Fisher
But am I wrong?
No, of course not. Just butthurt Christians who can't own up to the fact that their religion brought down one of the most important empires to have existed in Europe.
