How Stalling a Car Can Kill Over 60 Million People

Hugh Everett III was an American physicist and also a big nerd who first proposed the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, the theory is that there is a very large perhaps infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly have happened in our past, but did not, has occurred in the past of some other universe or universes. The butterfly effect in other words, so somewhere in another universe Justin Bieber's Father pulled out at the last second or maybe humans are indeed extinct.
   So can something so small as a butterfly change the world enough to merit the existence of a parallel universe? Well did you ever stall a car and wish you hadn't, one tool did and possibly deciding the fate of the human race.....
   Back in 1914 trouble was brewing in Europe and a movement of angry students named "Young Bosnia" planned to assassinate The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. They had a "lets just kill this son of a bitch" attitude and planned to throw a bomb into Franz's car (pretty straight forward really, except bombs in 1914 were bloody useless) their bomb failed to detonate for a couple seconds and the car behind was blown to shit. The assassin took a cyanide pill which failed to kill him and then he jumped into a 6 foot river and failed to drown (seriously where did they hire this guy!) Against the advice of pretty much everyone Archduke Franz visited the victims of the failed assassination in their hospital beds for a "your missing limbs because of me, sorry I guess" chat and then went back about his daily business. Unfortunately his driver didn't know his way around the part of town which the hospital was in and took a wrong turn then stalling his car outside a small cafe. Who was inside the cafe enjoying a post failed assassination sandwich but a member of "Young Bosnia" named Princip.

If he only knew what shooting the rich bollox in the car would cause.

So seeing the stalled car with Franz outside he quickly rushed out and shot both Franz and his wife from 5 feet away (these guys weren't exactly James Bonds).
    Anyway the death of Franz ment that Serbia and Austria-Hungary went to war but then the sneaky sceret pacts everyone had signed ment World War 1 had started.

Celtic fans steal the Rangers fans trench during WW1

World War 1 leaves economic ruin in Germany and Russia

Communism and Facism rise from the rumble of runined countries, leading to World War 2 and the Cold War.

World War 2 and the final Solution, over 60 million
deaths (2.5% of the World population)

A new sort of weapon is devolped that shakes the Earth

So such a small event as the stalling of Franz's car decided the fate of humanity, everything from the Final Solution, The U.N, Israel, the Moon Landing, Mao, BMW, Stalin to Forrest Gump has branched out from that incident in some way or another.  

 Even in my own Country of Ireland one has to wonder what would Ireland be like today without WW1? Then home rule would have been passed, meaning no 1916 Rising, an Ireland without politicians such as Collins or De Valera is impossible to comprehend. How could an incident in Hungary have such a profound effect on modern Ireland? Its the Butterfly Effect

   How about a Germany without WW1 and the Weimer republic, then Hitler would probably be no more then an Austrian Artist with a terrible moustache. If the many-worlds theory were proven then I know what world I would want to visit first and no doubt it would be a completely different world. Would it be better off do I wonder without two World Wars and the Cold War...... Or would there be a nuclear holocaust? Maybe Saddam Husein puts Churchill on trial for crimes against humanity...... Who knows? The only thing for certain is that chance decides everything, even getting distracted by a butterfly for a few seconds can change the future for everyone.
