Alternative History Or What Changed the World

While reading the thread about when people were born my mind wandered as it often does. Has anyone ever thought about how a flip of the cosmic coin changes history?
If Truman hadn't said yes to the atomic bomb how long would the invasion of Japan last.
If Truman hadn't pulled MacArthur out of Korea what would of happened.
If JFK wasn't shot or even elected. An earlier reign of Nixon *shudders*.
If Bobby Kennedy or MLK weren't assasinated in '68?
What event of the 20th or 21st century do you think really could have caused the most change bad or good if we had gone down the other pantsleg of history?

I am personally leading to the assasination of RFK. Without his assasination he was an almost an assured victor in the '68 election. War strategy would of been different and troops would of been out of Vietnam earlier in my opinion. Disillusionment in the office of President would of been less as well as cross party paranoia. But who knows what would have happened to the summer of love? Would it have been needed?
