Uh, no. Just no.

Churchill stuck his oar in so many places, for better and for worse, that it's really hard to guess exactly what subtracting him from the timeline would do. It might eliminate the Gallipoli disaster, just for a start. I doubt that we'd get the same beginning to WWII at all - the butterfly effects would be just too many - but even on the heroic view of history, well, he wasn't actually the
only potential war-leader we had at the time.
