In For All Mankind, one of the arbitrary changes they made to the timeline, that has no impact on the story what-so-ever, is that the IRA successfully assassinated Margret Thatcher.
That’s because it IS inspirational.

"She was right, but at the wrong time." - Commander Spock
The Enterprise is being rocked by waves of temporal displacement emanating from a planet when Doctor McCoy accidentally injects himself with a dangerous stimulant. He goes mad and runs amok through the ship, ultimately beaming down to the planet right in the middle of a very large displacement wave. Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and several others follow him down to the planet and discover a sentient gateway through time that offers them a chance to travel to any point in their past. McCoy sneaks past them while they are distracted and leaps through the portal to Earth's 20th century. The Enterprise vanishes and the gateway informs them that their entire Federation has never existed because of something McCoy did in the past. Kirk and Spock are left with no other choice but leap as closely to where McCoy went in the hopes of undoing the damage.

"You're as much a prisoner in time as I am." - Captain John Christopher
An American Air Force base in Omaha scrambles fighters to intercept a UFO that suddenly appeared hovering in the skies overhead. It's the Enterprise. A dark star caused the ship to slingshot backwards through time to 1960s Earth. While the damage to the Enterprise is light and can be easily repaired, one of the fighters makes visual contact with the Enterprise. Captain Kirk orders the fighter to be held in a tractor beam, which causes the fragile aircraft to break apart. Kirk has no choice but to beam its pilot; Captain John Christopher (Roger Perry) aboard and try to explain things to him. In addition to figuring out how to get back to the 23rd Century, the problem now includes how to get Captain Christopher back to Earth and erasing all records of the Enterprise's presence without contaminating the timeline any further than it already has been.

"He could not live knowing that I lived. He became obsessed with the idea of destroying me." - Lazarus
The Enterprise is surveying a planet when the ship is suddenly rocked by multiple shockwaves. Commander Spock's instruments suggest the impossible - the planet and the ship blinked out of existence for a split second. Enterprise then receives an alarming message from Starfleet; The phenomenon occurred across the entire known universe, and was centered on the planet they are orbiting. Starfleet Command thinks this could be prelude to an invasion by an unknown force and all nearby starships have been ordered to escape the area... leaving the Enterprise all alone to act as bait.
