Cuban missile crisis is too much like 1983, just 20 years earlier.

Buddha, while maybe a decent starting point, just lacks the worldwide implications (unless you are saying a much more militarized Asia, which could shake the world up a good deal).

Maybe we could do something with Communism winning in Italy vs Mussolini, or Communism in Spain. Both of these nations could've easily sustained the communism.
