So why do we get things like worlds where Alexander the Great's Empire still stands and Jesus of Nazareth was never born, but Adolf Schicklgruber is a famous artist and convert to Judaism?

The justification in Infinite Worlds is that the worlds don't exist in isolation from each other. They influence each other to cause these kind of coincidences and to attract worlds who have that kind of synchronicity. Which why there's a world of intelligent dinosaurs where every nation has exactly the same boundaries as those of Homeworld few years previous.
