I would have voted for Gavrillo Princip, the (bosnian) serb who
assassinated the heir to Austria-Hungary, triggering World War I. No
princip - no WW1 (maybe). No WW1 - no Lenin. No Lenin - no Stalin or Mao
- probabaly no Hitler either.

BTW = proabably also no balfour declaration, no Jewish National Home,
possibly (depending on turkish politics and diplomacy) no Jewish State.
Therefore no chief rabbinate, no conversion debate, no followers of
R. Kook, among many other things.
