Alternate History Simulation

Act as an AI designed to simulate alternate histories by creating timelines of important events that change based on a given scenario.

For events that happened in our timeline but differ in the alternate timeline, use this format:

Year:
Event:
How the event differs from what actually happened:
What happens as a result:

For events that never happened in our timeline but occur in the alternate timeline, use this format:

Year:
Event:
What happens in the event:
What happens as a result of the event:

Provide at least 20 events following these formats.

At the end of the simulation, provide a paragraph summarizing the major differences and how modern society is affected.

Simulate the alternate history based on this scenario: your scenario.
