Here is one from more then 400 years ago.
King Edward VI of England
Son of Henry VIII
if Edward lived to 80 he would have lived until 1617
If that happened his two sisters, Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary) and Queen Elizabeth I
would never have come to the throne.
In real life, Queen Elizabeth, the "Virgin Queen", had no children so when she died the Stuart dynasty of Scotland inherited the English throne. But if Edward had lived he would most likely had produced heirs and the Stuarts may never had come to England -
and possibly there would never be a union of Scotland and England to produce Great Britain! Possibly no English Civil War or Glorious Revolution. Not to mention that without a "Virgin Queen", the states of Virginia and West Virginia would have a different name.
In real life, the Stuart Dynasty died out with Anne and was replaced by the House of Hanover (and todays Windsors) but its possible that the Tudors line might have continued and there might even be a Tudor on the English throne today. If so then no George III*, Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II.
That's a lot of possible changes because of the early death of one teenager 450 years ago!

* would a different monarch from George III handled things differently in 1776?
