So? I start:

Without Germans bringing down the Roman empire* we'd all speak Latin today.

Without the Greeks stopping the Persians in the 5th century BC, all europe would be speaking Farsi today (and believe in Mithra).

Without the Greeks stopping the Arabs in the 8th century AD, all (Eastern)Europe would be speaking Arabic today (and believe in Allah).

Without the Greeks holding (partially) off the Turks between 1071 and 1453, the Turks wouldn't have stopped in Vienna and all Europe would be speaking Turkish today and would be eating kebabs...
Wait! in fact they do that anyway...

If the world was smart, it would speak ramblers. But since I'm the only smart one, no one but me is able to talk ramblers.

If we hadn't stopped the unprovoked Soviet aggression, they would have captured us, and the whole gulf of Finland and everything there is to it, and there wouldn't have been cold war. It woudl have been USSR all the way.

Thus, you'd all speak communism.

Praise be mine it didn't happen.
